Given the set of tasks in each VM, we compute the VCPUs' periods and
budgets, using the CARTS tool [1]. Note that each task has a period
and a worst-case execution time (wcet).

The configured set of vcpus in the experiment setup may not use all
pcpus bandwidth. For example, if we have one task (period = 10ms, wcet
= 2ms) on a VCPU, the VCPU of the task will not be configured with
100% bandwidth. If the VCPU is the only VCPU on a pcpu, that pcpu
bandwidth won't be fully used because there is not enough workload to
fully use all pcpu bandwidth.
