Re: HiperDispatch with mostly small LPARs

2011-08-11 Thread Santosh Kandi
I think it will depend on how many books you have. HD will likely help your largest LPAR because HD will give exclusive access to 8 physical CP’s across 2 chips which will result in better cache utilization. We have 2 LPARS across 8 Physicals with 45%/55% weight distribution and are seeing
