RE: [suse-amd64] number of CPUs for SMP kernels
Does that count physical processors or cores on the processors? Currently AMD has dual core CPU's on the market, they are supposed to release quad core CPU's sometime in Q1 2006. Would we then be restricted to 2 quad core CPU's? -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Andi Kleen [mailto:ak@suse.de] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 1:13 PM To: Mikhail Kuzminsky Cc: suse-amd64@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] number of CPUs for SMP kernels On Fri, Jun 10, 2005 at 10:47:51PM +0400, Mikhail Kuzminsky wrote:
Sorry, what is the restriction for number of CPU's for standard SMP kernels used for SuSE 9.0 (2.4.21) and 9.1 (Professional) ?
For 64bit kernels? 8 CPUs. -Andi -- Check the List-Unsubscribe header to unsubscribe For additional commands, email: suse-amd64-help@suse.com

local APIC IDs, cores or even HT threads. Remember he asked for ancient distributions. Modern ones (including SLES9-SP2) have these limits extended, however there is no supported AMD setup right now with that many CPUs.

8 APIC ID is four socket dual core or 8 socket single core. -Andi

Oh - is SP2 out yet? I didn't see any announcement from Chris. -- Boren's Laws: (1) When in charge, ponder. (2) When in trouble, delegate. (3) When in doubt, mumble.
