Abstract
A method and system for managing a virtual computing system including a virtual machine (VM) configured to send an event to a host CPU executing a memory monitoring instruction. The virtual machine is configured to receive from a hypervisor a notification identifying an address range writeable by a virtual central processing unit (VCPU) associated with the virtual machine to send an event to a host central processing unit (CPU). The virtual machine is further configured to receive an instruction to write to the identified address range for sending an event to the host CPU. The VCPU of the virtual machine may then write data identifying an event for execution by the host CPU to the identified address range, without causing an exit to the hypervisor.
