Hi,

AFAIK, there is one EMT thread per VM and as different VM's are executed as different processes they are scheduled by the host OS scheduler. In the SMP case is more than one EMT thread, but these threads are schedules by the OS as well.

I will resent this to the dev mailing list, cause there are people which know that stuff much more. Please ask and answer there.

Hello,

My name is Suk Kyu Lee and I’m a graduate research assistant at Korea
University.

I’m currently doing a research regarding about virtualization and was
using the VirtualBox OSE 3.1.6.

I was wondering if it is possible to know the general idea of the how
the VM scheduling mechanism within the Virtual Box.

I was having some problem with the code and it appears that there are
EMT thread within each VM, but couldn’t find the location within the
code regarding about how the VMM schedules the VM.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Suk Kyu Lee
