Abstract
Mapping virtual processor cores to heterogeneous physical processor cores. A device determines that a processor system has a heterogeneous set of processor cores, which include a first physical core with a first attribute and a second physical core with a second capability different from the first capability. The device associates a plurality of physical cores with a virtual machine (VM). This includes the device associating the first physical core with a first virtual core, which includes, based on the first physical core having the first capability, exposing to the VM that the first virtual core has a first feature set. This also includes the device associating the second physical core with a second virtual core of the VM, which includes, based on the second physical core having the second capability, exposing to the VM that the second virtual core has a second feature set different from the first feature set.
