Basically looking good. Hyperthread though is vendor specific. For AMD it's Clustered Multi-Thread while for Intel it's Hyper-Thread Official name is simultaneous multithreading (SMT) but no one outside of the academy will recognize that. in libvirt if I read it right it's <attribute name='thread_siblings'> So why not just call it threads. We'll have cpuSockets, cpiCores, and cpuThreads, should be clear when in CPU context. In the GUI just change hyperthreads to CPU threads. While in the tool tip explain that it's either AMD Clustered Multi-Thread or Intel Hyperthread > > Thanks in advance, > Greg > _______________________________________________ > Engine-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel > _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
