I'm confused - the doc seems to conflict and BMC architects have signed off on our ar.cfg settings in the past in which they were set by CPU and not by Cores.
My previous understanding was that these values should be set by the number of CPUs and not Cores, in fact BMC architects have signed off on these settings many times - and if you look at "BMC Remedy AR System Server 7.6 - Performance Tuning" page 33 - it states CPUs However, in the recent publication for performance and scalability "Performance and Scalability White Paper" released this month - see page 4 and 48 - this was set at the number of total cores. So - we have a Quad CPU 2.2 GHz Quad Core AMD with 12GB ram Windows box. So should I use x4 or x16 = a huge difference in the number of threads, which could substantially impact performance. See: "Performance and Scalability White Paper" page 4 and 48 - http://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/97/70/249770/249770.pdf "BMC Remedy AR System Server 7.6 - Performance Tuning" page 33 - http://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/90/37/199037/199037.pdf Regards, Andrew Goodall Software Engineer 2 | Development Services | jcpenney . www.jcp.com <http://www.jcp.com/> <font face="monospace"size="-3"><br>The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and <br>may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
