CPU Pinning Investigation

[Arbadacarba]

My server is set up for multiple pirposes, but one of them is as my primary gaming machine... I have never noticed a problem with "Micro Stuttering" but thought I should be pinning some of the CPU cores just to be sure.

 

My intention is to pin 6 Cores and threads and then keep an eye on how the remaining 4 cores keep up with the other tasks I use the server for.

 

I have pinned them to the Gaming VM and set everything else up to use the rest:

 

 

I've noticed I get a little bit of action on HT 15 even when the VM is shut down:

 

 

Have I done this wrong? How can I see what specifically is using that cpu?

 

I occasionally get a flutter on one of the other CPU's but HT 15 is consistently in use.

I was going to include my diagnostics, but I seem to have another problem... While creating the Diagnostics it appears to be listing every file on my server - not litterally but it's been going for 20 minutes with:

 

sed -i 's/\/mnt\/systems\/Files\/- Torrents\/FolderName\/11972.jpg/\/\/..g\/.../g' '/jupiter-diagnostics-20231209-0925/logs/syslog.1.txt' 2>/dev/null
