Hi there, People. I have a question and haven't been able to get an answer for a week already.
I bought recently a new computer with a Pentium D processor (which is supposed to have two cores, if I understand it) and one of the first things that I did with it was to enable SMP. Seeing in /proc/cpuinfo that the CPU supports Hyperthreading (the ht flag is in the supported CPU features of this computer), I compiled a brand new kernel (2.6.19-rc4 at the time) and answered Yes to the option of using Symmetrict Multithreading (aka Hyperthreading in Intel-speak). I posted things that I thought were relevant at http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/pentium-d/ and it shows two processors, but I don't actually know if they are two "real" processors (cores) or two "virtual" processors (1 processor with hyperthreading). Also, the dmesg put there doesn't mention that the system has hyperthreading enabled after I booted it with the acpi=ht kernel option. I would love to know if anybody could help me with this. Thanks in advance for any help, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
