if you're using the server for pure floating point compute, don't run more threads than you have actual cores. high concurrency server workloads that aren't IO bound generally benefit quite a lot from using hyperthreads to double the number of active workers. the HT on the X5600 and such newer Xeons is quite a lot better than the old netburst/p4 architecture where the benefits were marginal in many cases.
Hi Pierce
This servers would be used for MySQL DB purpose. I suppose it would be IO bound instead of CPU cycles. Please help me understand.
