Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to spread the load around and need some help understanding the numbering of my CPUs. I've got 2 Xeon X5650 processors. This is the view on the dashboard:

 

Note that CPU 24-27 does not have any load, and has never seen any load. Meanwhile CPU 12-15 is "missing". This load you can see here is with Handbrake running an encode with the following parameters:

 

 

As we are not seeing load on CPU 20-23, and instead seeing it on 16-18 I'm suspecting the dashboard view to be skewed, and that it should have been 0-23 instead of skipping 12-15.

 

Also, when I'm adding a VM this is the numbers I can choose from:

 

So my guess is that it's the dashboard view that is in fact "off". Any idea how I can fix this?

 

Also does this mean core pairing should be:

0-12

1-13

2-14

3-15

etc.

 

PS. Do you have Handbrake pinned to cores when its running with the SYS_NICE parameter, which I understand is "low priority"? Maybe I can just let it have access to all cores, and the OS will just prfioritize other tasks?

You can try unRAID v6.4, it has some updates for this.

I'd prefer to stick with stable releases tbh

I just built a dual-core Apollo Lake server.  unRAID shows "CPU 0" and "CPU 2".  There's no "CPU 1" and CPU 2 is always blank.  Is this a UI problem, or is unRAID only using one core?  Will this also possibly be fixed in 6.4?
