Hi, The use cases fro CPU pinning are exactly like discussed above: (1) lowering guest scheduling latencies and (2) improving networking latencies by pinning the SR-IOV IRQ's to specific cores. There is also a third use case, (3) avoiding long latencies with spinlocks.

As a solution, this would be much better since then OpenStack would have much less low-level work to do. -Tapio
