1. A method comprising:

  • obtaining resource requirements for a plurality of virtual machines;

    evaluating an efficiency of executing each of the virtual machines on a single hardware context, wherein the evaluating the efficiency comprises evaluating the single context execution time for each of the virtual machines, and dividing the single context execution time for each of the virtual machines by a latency of the virtual machine;

    selecting a candidate from the virtual machines based on the resource requirements and the evaluated efficiency; and

    binding the candidate to one of a plurality of hardware contexts associated with a processor.
