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."

      Dude, getting a first post in the Developers section is like nailing a fat chick; I mean, sure it's cool and all that you got to have sex, but it's not hard and no one's impressed.

      I was trying to impress anyone. I was just surprised. I've never attempted a first post before, so I don't follow the different types.

      I posted my comment simply because I thought it was odd.
