Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Can one VCPU use all physical CPUs in the host
Hi, it can use just one physical CPU at time. If the VCPU is not pinned on 
particular CPU (CPU core), it can be migrated over various physical CPUs over 
time by Xen. But it cannot "aggregate" performance of more physical CPUs. It 
will utilize 100% of single physical core in the best scenario. :)

Regards

Matej

Hi all

I have a multi-core physical machine, and I run domain-1 whose VCPU count is 
one, Can this VCPU use all the processors in the host?

Many thanks!
