This document contains information about limits of Xen 4.2.

== CPUs & Memory ==
* Xen can scale up to 4,095 host CPUs with 5Tb of RAM.
* Using Para Virtualization (PV), Xen supports a maximum of 512 VCPUs with 512Gb RAM per guest.
* Using Hardware Virtualization (HVM), Xen supports a maximum of 128 VCPUs with 512Gb RAM per guest.

== Other Limits ==
* Maximum of 32K interrupts and 2k PCI segments: this limits the number of devices that can be
used in two ways.
** The number of devices many can be attached to the system must fit into 2k PCI segments, i.e. 2k * 256 [buses] * 32 [devices] * 8 [functions])
** The number of hardware interrupts they may surface (one would expect at least one interrupt per device function, so this is the stricter of the two limitations).
