Abstract
A computing node includes at least one hardware layer comprising a plurality of hardware resources and at least one virtualization layer operative to manage at one virtual machine defined by at least one resource from among the plurality of hardware resources. The computing node includes load balancing interrupt logic configured in the hardware layer of the node. The load balancing interrupt logic is operative to compare at least one resource utilization level of the plurality of hardware resources by the at least one virtual machine with at least one threshold. The load balancing interrupt logic is operative to generate at least one load balancing interrupt indicating at least one load balancing status of the computing node based on the comparison of the at least one resource utilization level with the at least one threshold.
