Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed herein related to scheduling of virtualized runtime threads to hardware threads that share hardware resources to improve processing performance. For example, one embodiment provides a computing system that includes a scheduler to schedule execution of virtualized source code. The virtualized source code may include virtualized runtime threads that may be scheduled by the scheduler onto hardware threads that share hardware resources. The scheduler may include a decoder to catalogue hardware resource parameters used by the virtualized source code. Furthermore, the scheduler may include a virtualization engine to schedule execution of the virtualized runtime threads onto the hardware threads based the hardware resource parameters and a hardware-specific profile of the computing system.
