Optimize KVM host performance by mapping virtual CPU to physical
Assign all cores to KVM is impossible and not workable solution, because no CPU resources to KVM host, therefore need to reserve part of cumulative CPU resource to KVM host, therefore firstly need to understand your CPU structure, for example compare computers below. First computer has 6 core with 2 thread per core, second computer has 4 cores with 1 thread per core, third computer has 8 cores with 1 thread per core and 2 sockets, last computer has 2 sockets with 6 cores and 2 thread for each cores in each sockets.
This is a way to assign VCPU to KVM-host CPU.
And this is workable solution when most of CPU resources is reversed to KVM host. (This is future of TOP command TOP (press 1 to show workload separately per processor).
And this is real example of KVM VM with mapping VCPU to host CPU.
