RE: [suse-amd64] AMD Dual Core & kernel 2.6
An optimized kernel will see 4 CPU's and 2 memory nodes. It will see CPU 0,1 on node 1 and CPU 2,3 on node 2 My question is where does SLES 9 stand on dual core optimizations? -----Original Message----- From: James D.

Will the kernel in Suse 9.1 support Dual AMD, Dual Core, processors?
It should work, but no optimizations and the CPUs are not reported as siblings (this means if you have a license manager that licenses per CPU it might make you pay too much)
So the kernel will only see 2 CPU's not 4? Thanks, ~James -- Check the List-Unsubscribe header to unsubscribe For additional commands, email: suse-amd64-help@suse.com

SLES9-SP2 will have the NUMA optimizations for DC, but no scheduler related optimizations. -Andi
So, will any of these NUMA and scheduler optimizations be back-ported into
the 9.2 Profesisonal kernel updates, or will we have to move to 9.3, and
updates to get the scheduler optimizations ?
Thanks,

Scheduler optimization will be only in the next releases. Dual core NUMA should ok in 9.3. No backports to 9.2. -Andi
