jang430 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I am using Xeon E3-1240 v2. It has 4 cores, 8 threads. I am using several docker apps. Now, that I am using VMs, how do you assign 4 cores to the VM? 0,1,2,3? and 4,5,6,7 for a different VM? But when activies are running, I oftentimes see 1 core maxing out, and not all of them. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment
zyurph Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) If you look on your dashboard you can see the CPU cores in two columns. Each row is a physical and a hyperthreaded core. I would recommend that you keep your related physical and hyperthreaded cores together on any VM. Edit: You can also see this in tools --> system devices CPU Thread Pairings cpu 0 <===> cpu 14 cpu 1 <===> cpu 15 cpu 2 <===> cpu 16 cpu 3 <===> cpu 17 cpu 4 <===> cpu 18 cpu 5 <===> cpu 19 cpu 6 <===> cpu 20 cpu 7 <===> cpu 21 cpu 8 <===> cpu 22 cpu 9 <===> cpu 23 cpu 10 <===> cpu 24 cpu 11 <===> cpu 25 cpu 12 <===> cpu 26 cpu 13 <===> cpu 27 Edited June 12, 2017 by zyurph Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Meaning, I should use 0,1,2... For 1 VM? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
BobPhoenix Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Don't forget to leave at least 0 for unRAID. I would recommend you leave the hyper thread pair as well so likely leave 0 & 4 for unRAID and use 1 & 5 for one VM and 2,3,6 & 7 for the other VM. Quote Link to comment
