SpaceInvaderOne Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I would love to be able to view the cpu thread pairs from the vm templates like this Edited August 27, 2017 by gridrunner 2 11 Quote Link to comment
alexciurea Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 And not only this, but to be able to reallocate the resources without editing individually each VM. For example, by having an overview of the entire VM's (e.g. a table with all VM's and their most changed resources) so that one could allocate CPU pairs, RAM, GPU, Audio, USB controllers in bulk.

darkslyde Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'd also would like to see this implemented in the future! Quote Link to comment
methanoid Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Since the info is already gathered elsewhere I cannot imagine this would be difficult to do but it would be useful.... Quote Link to comment
sarf Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 This would be a very useful and nice addition to the user interface!. I would also love to see a check box that switches the CPU allocation method so you simply have all the logical CPU's displayed but none of the thread CPU's displayed. All you would need to do then is click on a single CPU and due to the current mode it would automatically select the corresponding correct matched thread CPU. Would be very nice indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment
GFRoSTY Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yes please, would make things a lot easier allocating resources Quote Link to comment
sjohnson Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm in for this as a feature! Quote Link to comment
jrdnlc Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 In for this feature request as well. Quote Link to comment
billington.mark Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 A couple of things to take this a step or two further... Auto 'tick' the cpu thread pair when you choose CPUs NUMA node management so memory is assigned from the same NUMA node as the selected CPU(s) (Dual CPU system problems!) Building on the second point... a flag if you're passing hardware which isnt on PCIe lanes attached to the CPUs?.. not sure if thats even possible though? 1 Quote Link to comment
Josecitox Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I want this feature too, it's great to make everything easier. Quote Link to comment
666gene Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Great additional feature please consider implementing Quote Link to comment
jsdoc3 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Limetech / JonP: Another Plus one for Spaceinvader's request. Would seem a pretty simple addition (fine if it's in advanced mode if you have concerns it makes the screen too busy, etc.) As a Noob, I was previously not aware this hinders performance and is not recommended to assign non-matched threads to isolate the CPU to the VM properly.

bonienl Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Teaser ... this is how it looks for me 3 Quote Link to comment

1812 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 need emulator pin assignment... then it's perfect. Quote Link to comment
-Daedalus Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Would also be nice to see current core/thread assignments somewhere. Since you're playing with applicable things anyway... Quote Link to comment

I don't know @1812 if assigning emulatorpin from the GUI would be good. Don't you think many users may not know how to correctly use this function so having it in the GUI could be counter productive? Maybe to be able to have a checkbox in the GUI , which says use emulator pin. Then opens a text box to be able to add the vcpus you want for this function manually. That way anyone who didn't know how to use it wouldn't use it without researching it. Otherwise, I could imagine people maybe clicking all the vcpus etc. Edited June 28, 2017 by gridrunner Quote Link to comment

ljm42 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 This sounds great! Can it be added to the docker interface as well? Quote Link to comment

Both are more than basic knowledge of vm creation and occur regularly. To mitigate someone using all, a simple "you should only need to assign 1-2 cores that are not the same as your vm" would solve the problem, and hiding it under the advanced toggle.

We can see the pairings in the template then just write the numbers separated with a comma in the box. If nothing is entered the function isnt used. I just think The template would be too busy with another check box to assign too. We just need the emulator pin really only to just not be removed when editing templates. IMO Quote Link to comment

IMO fixed your statement. also, I agree on the line vs check box. what you have there looks good and functional. Edited June 29, 2017 by 1812 1 Quote Link to comment
