Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with virtual machine application processor startup, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus for computing may include a plurality of processor cores; and a plurality of OS modules of an OS. The OS modules may include a BSP module and an AP module. The BSP module may be configured to write into a storage area a start state of an AP of aVM, while the VM is being started up; and the AP module may be configured to start the AP at the start state, directly in a protected mode of execution without first going through a real mode of execution. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed. 本文公开了与虚拟机应用处理器启动相关联的装置、方法和存储介质。在实施例中，用于计算的装置可以包括多个处理器核心；以及OS的多个OS模块。OS模块可以包括BSP模块和AP模块。BSP模块可以被配置为在VM被启动时将VM的AP的开始状态写入存储区域；并且AP模块可以被配置为在开始状态处直接以保护执行模式来开启AP，而无需首先经过实执行模式。可以描述和/或要求保护其他实施例。
