Zusammenfassung: | An approach is provided in which a first core broadcasts a cache line request in response to detecting a cache miss corresponding to a first virtual central processing unit (VCPU) executing on the first core. Next, the first core receives a cache line response from the second core responding to the cache line request that includes tag extension data. The first core determines a cache miss type of the cache miss based on the tag extension data and, in turn, sends the cache miss type to a hypervisor that utilizes the cache miss type during a future VCPU dispatch selection. |
