Hi everyone
This is a general question which may well be offtopic so apologies if it
is the wrong place to post.
My scenario is this: -
I have various multicore servers at my disposal - between 4 and 8 cores
each. Most of the software that's run on them is for statistical
genetics and it comes as is without source code. I've noticed that they
only make spectacular use out of just the one core - top says 98 - 100%
which is a total waste of the other three to seven cores that are
available per machine. So common sense say's to run the processes in
virtual machines to make more use of the machines as they stand. I'm
familiar with vmware server 1, but noticed that vmware server 2 allows
you to nominate cpu's for virtual machines which looks pretty good.
My question is has anyone else done this successfully and can this be
done with other vm's like Xen for instance. I'm just about to go off and
do some research for myself but would be interested to hear about anyone
elses experiences if they've done this already.
Thanks
Bryan
