Hardware partitions for a cloud server

A method, comprising:

• partitioning a plurality of processor cores into one or more partitions;
• configuring at least one distributed virtual memory (DVM) hub to:
• obtain a first DVM message from a first processor core of the plurality of processor cores, the first DVM message comprising a processor core identifier of the first processor core,
• determine, based on the processor core identifier of the first DVM message, one or more recipient processor cores of the plurality of processor cores for the first DVM message, and
• provide the first DVM message to the one or more recipient processor cores;
• configuring an interrupt interposer to be associated with the first processor core, the first processor core belonging to a first partition of the one or more partitions;
• and
• configuring the interrupt interposer to prevent a first interrupt originating from the first processor core from being provided to a processor core that is outside of the first partition.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations, comprising:

• partitioning a plurality of processor cores into one or more partitions;
• configuring at least one distributed virtual memory (DVM) hub to:
• obtain a first DVM message from a first processor core of the plurality of processor cores, the first DVM message comprising a processor core identifier of the first processor core,
• determine, based on the processor core identifier of the first DVM message, one or more recipient processor cores of the plurality of processor cores for the first DVM message, and
• provide the first DVM message to the identified one or more recipient processor cores;
• configuring an interrupt interposer to be associated with the first processor core, the first processor core belonging to a first partition of the one or more partitions;
• and
• configuring the interrupt interposer to prevent a first interrupt originating from the first processor core from being provided to a processor core that is outside of the first partition.
