Right, the SPARC T5 supports 8 hardware threads per core, so 16 threads for 2 cores here (because not all the cores of the physical machine are available). But hardware threads on a core share resources (2 ALUs and 1 FPU per core). -- Eric Botcazou _______________________________________________ cfarm-users mailing list cfarm-users@lists.tetaneutral.net https://lists.tetaneutral.net/listinfo/cfarm-users
