Go up one level in this thread


Thanks all for the comments .... I guess in the demo that they showed ... they
gave an example of what slows down Hyper-Threading ... from what i understood it
seems to be what someone mentioned earlier as a race condition ... I think what
could have when seeing if a program is optimize for hyper-threading ... the got
this new software that makes sure the system is hyperthreading enabled, it boots
up right before the operating system loads up. It checks all the things needed
for Hyper-threading.  Then it monitors the cpu's workload.

Well if anyone gets a program that they want me to test for Hyper-threading I am
going to be upgrading to Dual 3.06 Xeons ... I believe they will be released 10
Nov ... I seen also 3.22 will soon follow.
