Abstract
Implementing high-performance virtual machines for bare metal simulation is disclosed. A hypervisor executing on a host computer receives a request to initiate a high-performance (HP) virtual machine (VM). The hypervisor selects, based on the request, a HP virtual machine exit (VMEXIT) configuration from a plurality of different VMEXIT configurations. Each respective VMEXIT configuration of the plurality of different VMEXIT configurations identifies VMEXIT behavior in response to a task executing in a VM having a virtual machine control structure (VMCS) generated based on the respective VMEXIT configuration. The hypervisor generates a HP VMCS for the HP VM based on the HP VMEXIT configuration, the HP VMCS controlling the VMEXIT behavior in response to a task executing in the HP VM. The hypervisor initiates the HP VM.
