Linux 2.6 And Hyper-Threading

Posted by timothy on from the bits-and-pieces dept.

David Peters writes "2CPU.com has posted an article on Hyper-Threading performance in Linux. They use Gentoo 1.4 and kernel 2.6.2 and run through several server-oriented benchmarks like Apache, MySQL and even Java server performance with Blackdown 1.4. The hardware they use in the tests is border-line ridiculous (3.2GHz Xeons, 3.2GHz P4 and P4 Prescott) and the results are actually quite interesting. It's a good read as he even takes the time to detail his system configuration all the way down to the CFLAGS used while compiling the software."

    actually, Intel recommends against using HyperThreading with Win2K (all flavors)

    Intel.com

    it will run but performance sucks
