Hey, I have a question that I can't seem to find a decent answer to. The mailing lists have had some similar topics, but they were mostly for the 6.x-RELEASE and other minor differences.
Heres my situation; I'm trying to create a beowulf cluster running FreeBSD
7.0-RELEASE consisting of 8 systems all running on Dual Xeon w/HTT both running
at 2.8Gz. What exactly this system will be doing I can't say, so lets just
think about the performance of the cluster running a benchmarking tool similar
to sysbench. Because they are dual processor systems, I will be using the SMP
kernel already, so I'm wondering if turning on HTT will help or hinder my
Beowulf' performance. The cluster is not yet operational, otherwise I would do
some tests myself!
The answer is always "HTT performance depends on your workload. Try it
and see if it helps".
