# HV_VCPU_ACCEL_RDPMC

Instructs the kernel, when set, to handle RDPMC VM exits directly rather than passing them to user space.

```
var HV_VCPU_ACCEL_RDPMC: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

When the guest issues RDPMC instructions, a VM exit occurs. When set, this flag instructs the kernel to handle RDRPMC VM exits directly, and more efficiently, than passing them on to user space.
