Abstract
The disclosure provides techniques for scheduling a jitterless workload on a virtual machine (VM) executing on a host comprising one or more pCPUs comprising a first subset of the one or more pCPUs and a second subset of the one or more pCPUs. The techniques further include creating a jitterless zone, wherein the jitterless zone includes the first subset of the one or more pCPUs. The techniques further include determining whether a vCPU of the VM is used to execute a jitterless workload or a non-jitterless workload. The techniques further include allocating by a CPU scheduler to the vCPU at least one of the pCPUs in the jitterless zone when the vCPU of the VM is used to execute a jitterless workload. The techniques further include scheduling the jitterless workload for execution by the vCPU on the allocated at least one of the pCPUs in the jitterless zone.
