  • 0

On top of a dual quad core physical host, I would like to run a single VM with 8 virtual CPU (if possible) or at least 4 virtual CPU – for the purpose of scientific computing.

I have investigated what the market has to offer at this date and it seems that

  • VMWare Server 2.0 is limited to 2 virtual CPU.
  • Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 RC2 is limited to single CPU.
  • Microsoft Hyper-V 2008 is limited to 4 virtual CPU (with restriction on the guest OS).

Is there any solution to get 8 virtual CPUs?

  1. Xen, KVM, VirtualBox, all can emulate more CPUs than you have, up to 32 CPUs per VM, at least.
