sched /HT processor

From: Arun Srinivas
Date: Sat Apr 02 2005 - 19:39:21 EST



HI

I have pentium4 hyperthreaded processor.I am using kernel 2.6.5 and i rebuilt my kernel with CONFIG_SMP enabled (in this kernel source there is nothing such as CONFIG_SMT...i noticed this only in recent 2.6.11).

1) So, after I rebulit it with CONFIG_SMP enabled does linux recogonize my machine as hyperthreaded or as 2 seperate processor? Also, if it does not recogonize it as hyperthreaded(but only as 2 seperate CPU's), does the scheduler schedule instruction in the 2 cpu's independently? (does it maintain 2 seperate runqueues?

2) If it has indeed recogonized this as hyperthreaded processor...does the scheduler use a common runqueue for the 2 logical processor?

(please read below)
