vSMP
For scheduling a VM with multiple vCPUs, ESX2 used the "Strict Co-Scheduling" technique where a skew value for each vCPU was tracked & increased when vCPUs were at different progress levels. With enough skew, the entire VM was descheduled.
The co-scheduling algorithm was improved to a "Relaxed Co-Scheduling" scheme in ESX3 resulting in a significant reduction of co-scheduling fragmentation.
