SMP vCPU scheduling in vSphere 4.1

Hi,

I haven't worked with ESX since 3.5 U4 so I'm interested to know what the current state of play is with using multiple vCPUs on Linux.

Is co-scheduling still a concern? Are there any obvious limits/restrictions to be aware of?

Thanks

I think they have done a lot to improve this and co-scheduling is not as much of an issue. Great whitepaper here

Thanks,

I guess I could've found that quite easily but thanks all the same! Just what I was looking for.
