A first virtual machine is configured to run on a subset of cores of the plurality. The first virtual machine is of a first type. A second virtual machine is configured to run on any of the cores in the plurality. The second virtual machine is of a second, different type. The first virtual machine is configured to have a first priority which is higher than a second priority of the second virtual machine such that processing resources are available to the first virtual machine when required by the first virtual machine instead of being available to the second virtual machine.
