Abstract
One or more virtual processors can be added or removed from a virtual machine based on CPU pressure measured within the virtual machine. In addition to the foregoing, CPU pressure can also be used to determine whether to remove a virtual processor from a virtual machine, which may cause the computer system to consume less power. In the alternative, virtual processors can be parked and/or unparked in order to reduce the amount of power consumed by the virtual machine. In addition, virtual processors can be forcibly parked during a migration operation.
