Subject: What are the rules for hyperthreaded CPUs?
Date: Sun, 04 Dec 2011 16:41:03 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EDC131F.5070905@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi All,

My host has an i7-960 processor (4 cores, 8 hypterthreaded cores.)
/proc/cpuinfo on my host shows 8 processors.

On my Fedora Core 16 guest, /proc/cpuinfo shows 4 processors.

Question: what is the maximum number of processors I can assign to my
guest?  4 or 8?  What are the rules for Hyperthreading?

Many thanks,
-T
