如何计算虚拟化vcpu_【虚拟化实战】VM设计之一vCPU

作者：范军 (Frank Fan) 新浪微博：@frankfan7

虚拟机需要多少个vCPU呢？是不是个数越多性能越好呢？这方面存在着很多误区。给VM配置CPU资源的时候，要精打细算才能最大可能的利用已有资源，来满足商业应用的需要。有的情况下为某个VM设置过多vCPU数目，反而会造成该应能的性能下降。也造成整个系统的资源浪费。

本文从概念到实战来阐述如何做好虚拟机上CPU资源规划。

一概念：

首先我们明确一些概念。

A CPU socket or a CPUpackage refers to a physical unit of CPU which is plugged into a system board.For example, a 4-way system or a 4-socket system can contain up to four CPUpackages

Core

A CPU socket or a CPUpackage refers to a physical unit of CPU which is plugged into a system board.For example, a 4-way system or a 4-socket system can contain up to four CPUpackages

Logical processor:

Hyperthreadingtechnology allows a single physical processor core to behave like two logical processors.The processor can run two independent applications at the same time. Aprocessor core may have multiple logical processors
