    Linux Terminal Server Question

    Yeah I'm still working on this.

    I have a dual Xeon board that takes up to Quad cores.
    I intend to use Centos 64-bit.

    Is it possible to:
    - Dedicate cores to specific terminals.
    - From a terminal, select specific core for specific tasks.
    - From a terminal, open a virtual machine and select a specific core.

    I'll be starting out with a single dual core probably but I do have the parts to go to a pair of dual cores.

    I see no point in multiple cores if most will be idle most of the time anyway. But if I can specify which cores do what that's another story.

    What I'm trying to figure out is what I want to do in so far as an upgrade path. Once I know I can keep my eyes open for good deals on the CPUs I'll need for it.

    Thanks in advance.

      I don't wanna google I wanna hear from people that know what they are doing.

      That's here.

        Dedicate cores to specific terminals.
        -Terminals in a vm? Isn't a terminal just a shell with a user?

        From a terminal, select specific core for specific tasks.
        - Set affinity maybe for processes, scripts, etc.

        From a terminal, open a virtual machine and select a specific
        core.
        - You can probably run a vm on its own core.

              Last I was aware, Linux doesn't support CPU affinity for particular processes. But that may have changed.

                I guess it didn't when SMP wasn't so popular. Now its like 40 cores to a chip

                  That's helping.
                  It's so much easier when someone knows the terms (words) I need to learn about.

                  Thanks guys.

                    Just looked it up on google, apparently they added affinity with the 2.5 kernel.
                    I think 2.5 was a development series, but I guess it should be in 2.6 then.
