我正在运行一台带有Intel(R)Xeon(R)CPU E3-1230 v2(共8核)的KVM主机。使用VLC播放器播放1080p视频时,KVM进程的perf stat结果如下。

Performance counter stats for process id '120879':

VM guest虚拟机消耗的CPU过多。我想知道为什么结果的频率是1.98GHz,而实际的CPU频率是3.3GHz(cpufreq调控器设置为性能)。此外,上下文切换和CPU迁移非常频繁。唯一正在运行的应用程序是VLC。

该过程的perf kvm --host --guest stat结果是:

如何降低KVM的CPU使用率?

不确定这是否对您有所帮助,但虚拟环境中的软件可能缺少一些加速,这需要更高效的解码。

您已经添加了很多功能

-cpu core2duo,hv_spinlocks=0xffff,hv_relaxed,hv_time,hv_vapic,+sse4.1,+sse4.2,+x2apic,+pcid,+pdcm,+xtpr,+ht,+ss,+acpi,+ds

如果您的Win7 guest虚拟机使用完整主机cpu的Xeon芯片没有问题,可能会增加一些功能。

-cpu host

此外,您已经在guest虚拟机中启用了spice / qxl以及virtio IO - 遗憾的是,enter link description here还没有Windows Direct3D代码

它可能也很大程度上取决于您在客人中使用的软件 - 如果您可以将其添加到您的问题中,那么下一位尝试提供帮助的人就会很好。

通过使用,我得到了更好的结果(例如,空闲的CPU使用率更低)

/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64

代替qemu-kvm
