Other than for determining the number of threads to use for parallel GC, the JVM does not care how many CPUs there are. I don't know what Windows returns for the number of CPUs installed when hyperthreading is enabled, but you can determine that with the Runtime.availableProcessors() method. You really should be measuring performance by some measurement of actual workload completed, not CPU utilization. Turning off hyperthreading may actually reduce your overall throughput. (Then again, it might make it better - very application dependent.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
