Example 1. With processor resource capping

Edit online

In the following example:

  • Six physical cores are online
  • All LPs are capped
  • All LPs have sufficient workload demand to use their shares
Table 1. PR/SM processor weight management with processor resource capping and with HiperDispatch Disabled

Total Capacity of the Shared PCP Resources 1000 / 6 PCPs = 166.7 = PCP capacity

Notes:
  1. Use the Customize/Delete Activation Profiles task to open a reset or image profile to set the processing weight for an LP. The Processing weight field is located on the Processor page for the LP.
  2. The logical cores for LP C (2) fall outside the enforceable range because each logical cores share is only 4% of a physical core.
  3. The LP's range is bounded by the line shown for LP C (3). Typically, though, even this configuration will see results comparable to the line shown for LP C (2).
