Please wait The number of physical cores pCPU available on a host is calculated as:. If the cores use hyperthreading, the number of logical cores is calculated as:. Please note that hyperthreading does not actually double the available pCPU. Hyperthreading works by providing a second execution thread to a processor core. When one thread is idle or waiting, the other thread can execute instructions. Skew values that are too high typically over a few milliseconds are an indication that the VM is unable to access all its processors synchronously.
Since the co-stopped VM had to wait for enough physical processors to be available to accommodate all its virtual processors, strict co-scheduling could result in scheduling delays and idle physical CPUs. Servers have to be next. Everyone that posted - I believe I have enough answers now to guide me when building and allocating resources to my virtual machines. So the big question is.. Running Windows 2k8 standard which only sees 4 CPU. It shows 8 in the Task manager and device manager too.
Am i missing something? I have a virtualized Server R2 instance that we use as a terminal server. The CPU is constantly spiking during the workday. I have 2 sockets and 1 core assigned with 24GB ram. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to improve performance? The host does not seem to be taking a big hit, its just this VM. My host has dual quad core Xeons, GB ram. I have not tried to scale down to 1 vcpu because to says it may cause it to become unstable. Has anyone tinkered with changing the CPU assignments and experienced any side-effects?
I have done several CPU downgrades with no issues. Hwoever, I recommend taking a snapshot before you do it so you can revert to the snapshot if there is an issue. With 4 sockets with 1 core the performance was really bad under load. Changing to 1 socket with 4 cores seemed to improve performance a lot and make the host work better. I know it sounds like Voo-Doo. In that case, you can assign 1 processor with 4 cores for your guest os. As long as you don't have any other physical processor in your system, do not assign more than 1 processor to your virtual machine.
You can assign more or fewer cores to your guest os, depending on your needs, but you shouldn't assign a value higher than your hyperthreading cores.
But note, that your host also needs some CPU power. I usually set up the half number of my hyperthreading cores and the half number of my memory, e. This is usually a good setting to go, but not if you want to run more than one virtual machine at a time. Sign up to join this community.
