Bumping MAXCPU on amd64?

2010-09-22 Thread Maxim Sobolev
Hi, Is there any reason to keep MAXCPU at 16 in the default kernel config? There are quite few servers on the market today that have 24 or even 32 physical cores. With hyper-threading this can even go as high as 48 or 64 virtual cpus. People who buy such hardware might get very disappointed

MAXCPU at 32 has been good in the 32bit days. Soon there will be (if not already) systems that will have 16cores/socket or more, and motherboards that have 4 sockets or more. Combining this with hyper-threading, you have gone significantly beyond the limits of feasible server. Bumping the
