Datacenter managed thread and multi-processing support

摘要

Technologies are generally described for datacenter managed thread and multi-processing support. In some examples, a system may be provided for dynamic core allotment and provisioning within a server such that resources can be efficiently used to accomplish available work during lulls shorter than inter-server balancing time scales. A virtual machine manger (VMM) may enact core level provisioning and make optimal performance multi-processing information available via a virtual application programming interface (API) handler that receives and responds to messages sent to the VMM. The messages may not need to reach an external network and may therefore be exchanged at high speeds.

主权项

1. A method to dynamically allot and provision cores within a server, the method comprising:
virtualizing access to a plurality of cores in a server for a plurality of virtual machines; and providing local core-level provisioning to the virtual machines by:
providing optimal performance multi-processing information via a virtual application programming interface (API) handler to the virtual machines; andenabling applications executed on the virtual machines to use API calls when building a multi-processing worker population to request input for one or more of a number of available cores or a size of a worker population to generate.
