Re: hyperthreaded?

2011-02-02 Thread Matthew Dillon

:The guy who gave me the box says he has another one like it, but one is 
:hyperthreaded and the other isn't. Here's the beginning of dmesg. Is it 
:hyperthreaded, and if so, should I compile a kernel to take advantage of it?
:
:CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2793.02-MHz 686-class CPU)
:  Logical CPUs per core: 2

Yes.  It has 2 real cpus and 2 hyper-threads per real cpu (4 total).

Definitely worth running a SMP kernel.  Even things like the atom
with one real cpu and 2 hyperthreads is worth running a SMP kernel
on.

Oops, I've been corrected.  That baby has 1 core and 2 hyperthreads.

In anycase, it is worth running a SMP kernel on it.

 With this last build finished, we should have a complete set of binary

 uploads are complete yet; I'll check later tonight.

I can download packages for i386 2.9, but not i386 2.8, and some packages, 
including kde and the new version of pkgin, require liblzma in world, which 
2.8 doesn't have. I've also had two different failures trying to build 2.9 
world.
