April 10, 20206 yr Hey All, Just a few quick questions to clear up the use of the Emulator Pin. From what I've read / seen the current rule of thumb is to pin the emulator pin the lowest physical CPU, as Unraid prefers to use the lower cores. It's also considered best practice to isolate the cores of the VM's that you're using (if you're using them for gaming PC's / latency sensitive PC's). So my questions then --> 1. If the VM cores are isolated, can't we just let Unraid control where the emulator functions occur, or does KVM use the emulator on the isolated CPU's? 2. If we do need to specify the emulator pinning, wouldn't it make sense to either pin it to more cores (so that unraid tasks don't conflict) or alternatively pin it to your highest pair of cores (again so no conflict)? 3. Again, assuming we've isolated cores for our VM's, what's the best practice with our dockers? Isolate them from the emulator pin, or simply let Unraid control everything? Thanks in advance for any insight! ~Spritz
