Oracle VM and Hyper-Threading

Hello

I was wondering if someone could comment on Oracle VM with vSMP and underlying hyper-threading with Intel 55xx series processors?

If I remember correctly, Oracle used at least suggest HT has not been activated, but it applies to both virtual machines?

Thank you!

Does not relate to VM recommendation here. For Nehalem, I would recommend to enable as HT has been greatly improved.

  • I7 Intel hyper-threading processor (only every second core is used)

    Dear users,

    the "CPU Information.vi" gives me the following result (see "CPU Information.png"). When I run a Labview vi, only four cores are used (see "CPU usage.png"). I believe that my processor has 4 physical cores and hyper-threading functionality: http://ark.intel.com/products/48500/Intel-Core-i7-880-Processor-8M-Cache-3_06-GHz

    Do you have an idea how use also other virtual hearts as well, please?

    How to access the BIOS and disable hype-threading on xp

    THX

    During the initial boot, you should see a brief message posted to press a specific key (usually the delete key) to access the BIOS. If there is an option to disable Hyper-Threading, you will need to find it.  You can also see if there is a guide for your motherboard and the BIOS options.

    Any reason, you need to disable?

  • Hyper-threading and vCPUs

    A few years ago I was working with VMware Server 1.0 on Windows 2003. I had 2 servers with VMware Server, one of them has a CPU Intel Hyper-thread, and the other has the same Intel processor but with HT disabled.

    I had a VM running a 16-bit application, which took all the cycles available CPU. When this run on non-HT Server virtual computer, the Windows host reports 100% CPU usage. When the virtual machine running on the active HT server, host the CPU utilization was 50%, and the Task Manager showed the virtual machine, taking all the cycles of a demi-processeur and the other half processor almost in slow motion.

    Assuming that the processors are equal, I think I know that the virtual machine has got more CPU power running on non-HT server to run on HT-enabled server (because HT divided by 2 CPU and just one half CPU is assigned to the virtual machine).

    My question is: what happens with HT on ESX?

    When I assign a vCPU virtual machine, it will use just half a nucleus in a Hyper-Threaded Server, but a full kernel on a server of HT-people with reduced mobility? (assuming that no other virtual machines compete for resources).

    Thank you and best regards.

    With the following reflections on 2 and 3.

    (2) but do not forget hypervisor (vmkernel) provides these vcpus to the LCPU he will ensure that the vCPU is scheduled to LCPU who has cycles CPU available - if you are in the situation where all LCPUs are heavily loaded, then you need to increase the resource capacity by adding additional hosts to the cluster (if you ave a)

    (3) the virtual machine has no direct access to the LCPU but she is planned there by the vmkernel - if the virtual machine is idle, it can theoretically be used no. (or at least very few CPU cycles)

    hope this helps-

  • Satellite R630 - how to disable hyper-threading technology

    Hi all

    I can't find the option in the bios to disable hyper-threading.
    There is an option "disable carrots", which translates as windows only showing 1 core in the Task Manager.
    But this isn't what I want.

    I do some supercomputers and my experience tells me that allowing the use of thread cache on its own gives me the best performance that have multiple threads share the caches by SMT.

    I have the newest BIOS (BIOS 1.60, THIS 1.40). Why Toshiba would prevent such an option.
    It is available in the R700 models?

    Cheers, Jim

    Hello

    What to say;
    It seems that the BIOS does not support this option and therefore you would not be able to disable the s CPU hyper-threading and I doubt you'd be able to disable this somewhere else.

    In my opinion, there is nothing to see

    Hello

    Hyper-Threading technology is supported by CPU and it of not possible to disable it, if this option is not available in the BIOS.

  • On the hyper-threading technology

    Hello. I rather heard a lot of the inefficiency of the Hyper-Threadyng, especially that it is a useless load of each carrot with two operations. Efficiency can be no more than 30% and not always. Should I turn off this function or not? If I have to, I need to know how. After all, there are not these settings in the BIOS of my laptop (HP Envy 15 j-001er).

    P.S. This thread has been moved to storage > General for laptops - pavilions, Presario. -Forum moderator hp

    > There is not these settings in the BIOS of my laptop

    Then you can not turn it off.

    But don't you worry.

    If the performance with Hyper-Threading disabled technology is 100%, then with Hyper-Threading active technology, the heart of processor can achieve a level of performance which is between 100 and 130%, depending on the characteristics of the workload.

  • How can I enable hyper-threading?

    I have a phenom 2 x 6 1100 T UC. PC Wizard says that hyper-threading is turned off. How can I activate it and what benefits it will give me? Any advice would be appreciated.

    As afr as I know this processor (AMD) doesn't support hyperthreading.

    It has six distinct cores if.

    Hyperthreading for Intel processors operates as if it were two processors by heart.

  • Hyper-Threading

    My CPU does support HT?

    Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3,20e GHz

    I heard that this E means CPU support hyper-threading.

    You are welcome.

    That I don't know, if a piece of a processor (thread) might not work, but overall the processor itself.

    I guess anything's possible, but I recommend you check that I mentioned first before drawing conclusions.

    I see another post of yours that you have a d530. That the PC supports hyperthreading, but if you have installed a processor Prescott, sometimes they do not work in the d530.  Sometimes you get same microcode errors when you start it.

    My recommendation is to get a Pentium 4 Northwood 3.20/800/512KB (sSpec SL6WG) processor and I pretty much guarantee that your PC will work fine.

    They are plentiful and cheap on eBay.

    I've updated four d530 CMT with this processor and each of them worked very well.

  • Better NUMA or Hyper Threading is for overall performance?

    Let's say I have a 5.1 ESXi host that has 2 quad-core processors with Hyper Threading, for a total of 16 logical processors. If I have a very greedy CPU VM that I want to give 8 vCPUs, it would be preferable to extend on the NUMA nodes, or apply the configuration numa.vcpu.preferHT = TRUE to force the VM to stay on a single NUMA node and use the Hyper Threading instead?

    I am interested in both to get the best performance for this virtual machine while ensuring that the other (much less CPU intensive) virtual machines running on this host didn't get hungry CPU or block this virtual machine to access the CPU.

    You must understand that this 'Core Hyperthreaded' is not true core. It can do only certain things. It is difficult to assess this performance, but I would say in common, you can not get tasks more than ~ 20% of the performance of ht-core (relative to the true core). Sometimes more, othertimes not.

    So if you run CPU tasks (such as video encoding), it is best to let your virtual machine (with 8 vCPU) to use the two pCPUs (4 real cores of each of them), even if you lose a few cycles of CPU per NUMA.

  • More physical cores vs less with hyper-threading

    I'm sure that this has been answered before, but is it better to have more physical cores, or I can get the same performance with half of the carrots but enable hyper-threading technology?  It is of course a discussion of type AMD vs Intel...

    Thank you!

    Hi friend

    Visualize this:

    You are in a supermarket and a bonehead out a checkbook to write a check.

    You have a gallon of milk and a $5 ticket in your hand.

    The Fund puts the first transaction on hold while the old lady wrote the check and treat your transaction. You go out, it ends by the check writer.

    That's the theory behind the HT. If a thread stops, it can perform a second thread on the same kernel. But the problem is that it can only manage a thread on any cycle, so it depends on inefficiencies in executing 'slide in this teaching of the second.'

    Now, imagine that the grocery store stops take control. Efficiency is increased, the main thread has more effective, but it is less likely for this second operation to occur. If you wait longer with your milk.

    Would you rather have a cashier multitasking or more open channels? If the company is light in the store and transactions are small, the cashier multitasking could be allowed.

    But if it's Saturday afternoon, you want only to open more lanes due to heavy traffic.

    HT works well in loads of light work where the traffic is "burst" and ineffective. But if the workloads increases (and I believe that we all have more work to do on our systems than ever) so the benefits of HT begin to slip and the benefits of dedicated hearts really shines.
