Abstract
Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for tracking per-virtual machine ('VM') resource usage independent of a virtual machine monitor ('VMM'). In various embodiments, a first logic unit may associate one or more virtual central processing units (“vCPUs”) operated by one or more physical processing units of a computing device with a first VM of a plurality of VMs operated by the computing device, and collect data about resources used by the one or more physical processing units to operate the one or more vCPUs associated with the first VM. In various embodiments, a second logic unit of the computing device may determine resource-usage by the first VM based on the collected data. In various embodiments, the first and second logic units may perform these functions independent of a VMM of the computing device.
