#define SC_HYPERVISOR_PRIORITY

This macro is used when calling sc_hypervisor_ctl() and must be followed by 3 arguments: an array of int for the workerids to apply the condition, an int to indicate the size of the array, and an int value indicating the priority of the workers previously mentioned. The workers with the smallest priority are moved the first.

## SC_HYPERVISOR_MIN_WORKERS

#define SC_HYPERVISOR_MIN_WORKERS

This macro is used when calling sc_hypervisor_ctl() and must be followed by 1 argument(int) indicating the minimum number of workers a context should have, underneath this limit the context cannot execute.

## SC_HYPERVISOR_MAX_WORKERS

#define SC_HYPERVISOR_MAX_WORKERS

## SC_HYPERVISOR_MIN_TASKS

#define SC_HYPERVISOR_MIN_TASKS

This macro is used when calling sc_hypervisor_ctl() and must be followed by 1 argument (int) that indicated the minimum number of tasks that have to be executed before the context could be resized. This parameter is ignored for the Application Driven strategy (see Resizing Strategies) where the user indicates exactly when the resize should be done.

#define SC_HYPERVISOR_NEW_WORKERS_MAX_IDLE

This macro is used when calling sc_hypervisor_ctl() and must be followed by 1 argument, a double value indicating the maximum idle time allowed for workers that have just been moved from other contexts in the current context.
