Hyperthreading is enabled in BIOS, but the variable:

machdep.hyperthreading_allowed

is '0' by default in FreeBSD 6.2R :(((
I just changed it now to '1' and all cores in all CPUs started to work :)))

Very simple change and so much power more :)

Thanks a lot for this hint!!

Regards,
Robert

Have you tried the hyperthreading setting?

machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1
(put that in /etc/sysctl.conf)

Hi,

I have FreeBSD 6.2R running on Intel SE7501HG2 motherboard with two Xeon installed. System detects 2 CPUs with 2 cores in each of them (total 4 cores) but it uses only one core in each Xeon (total 2 of 4 cores are used only). I see it in the 'top'. I tried the same hardware on FreeBSD 7.1R and this OS uses all of the detected cores.

What should I do FreeBSD 6.2R to use all of the available cores?
I cannot upgrade it to 7.x, must use 6.x

Robert Heron
