HyperThreading Support in VMware ESX Server 2
Overview Intel recently developed Hyper-Threading Technology to enhance the performance of their Pentium IV and Xeon processor lines. The technology allows a single processor to execute two independent threads simultaneously. In Intel's terminology, the single chip is referred to as a package, while the hardware threads are called logical processors. VMware ESX Server 2.1 now fully supports Intel's new Hyper-Threading Technology (HT). This paper explains the changes that an administrator can expect to see when running ESX Server on a HT system and provides details on the advanced algorithms and configuration options used to maximize performance of ESX Server on a Hyper-Threaded system.
