[ovirt-users] Re: Best CPU topolgy for VMs (Socket / Core / Threads)

As long as you keep inside the NUMA limits you should be OK.For example:1 core , 2 threads is equal to 2 cores, 1 thread eachAfter all, all VMs in KVM are just processes. Yet, if your server has 2 CPUs each with 6 cores ( 2 threads per core ) ,you should avoid setting VMs with 13 vCPUs (13 real threads) as you will have to use some of the threads on the second CPU. i think there is a guide for High Performance VMs where NUMA cases are described quite well.

So, no performance issue if the virtual topology does not match the physical one ?

When ? Linux vs Windows ? (One example I know is that Windows 10 won't access more than 4 sockets.) _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/5BN4OWEHKAY...
