Method and apparatus for scheduling virtual machine thread

An electronic device, comprising:

• a processor, and
• a memory, wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• the processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to cause the processor to:
• determine processor affinity of a first virtual central processing unit (VCPU) thread on a virtual processor of a virtual machine in response to receiving a scheduling instruction for the first VCPU thread, wherein the processor affinity of the first VCPU thread is used to configure a first hyper-threading logical processor running the first VCPU thread and a target physical processor to which the first hyper-threading logical processor belongs;
• determine, based on the processor affinity of the first VCPU thread, a second hyper-threading logical processor in the target physical processor as processor affinity of a second VCPU thread in the virtual processor;
• and
• schedule, based on the processor affinity of the first VCPU thread, the first hyper-threading logical processor to run the first VCPU thread, and schedule, based on the processor affinity of the second VCPU thread, the second hyper-threading logical processor to run the second VCPU thread.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• determine processor affinity of a first virtual central processing unit (VCPU) thread on a virtual processor of a virtual machine in response to receiving a scheduling instruction for the first VCPU thread, wherein the processor affinity of the first VCPU thread is used to configure a first hyper-threading logical processor running the first VCPU thread and a target physical processor to which the first hyper-threading logical processor belongs;
• determine, based on the processor affinity of the first VCPU thread, a second hyper-threading logical processor in the target physical processor as processor affinity of a second VCPU thread in the virtual processor;
• and
• schedule, based on the processor affinity of the first VCPU thread, the first hyper-threading logical processor to run the first VCPU thread, and schedule, based on the processor affinity of the second VCPU thread, the second hyper-threading logical processor to run the second VCPU thread.
