[gentoo-user] Hyper Threading

2004-02-06 Thread Manuel Pérez López
Hello: Well, I 've changed my system to a Pemtium IV with Hyper Threading. I need to recompile all the system for this new posibility. How can I emerge the packages with HT support? How can I compile the kernel with HT support? Thanks Manuel Perez -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You do not need to recompile all the system only make the kernel for SMP if you ran a non SMP system before. All other is automagically done. (Edit make.conf for the extra CPU to use it during compilation.) Also enable HT in BIOS. Imre Manuel Pérez López wrote: Hello: Well, I 've changed my sy

No it is for making user space programs threaded if they support it (I think). I do not use it and I am HT. You can check that HT is working because you start multiple kernel compiles in the background and then you can see both CPUs utilized around 99 % in "top". (Hit 1 when in top if only one C

I'm building a system with an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe mb. I'm using the smp kernel on the Gentoo livecd, v1.4-20030911. The BIOS settings tell me that hyperthreading is enabled, and the flags line in /proc/cpuinfo lists the ht flag, but only one CPU is listed in /proc/cpuinfo and only one shows up in t
