Oracle and Hyperthreading
-----------------------------
Oracle will work just fine on any O/S that is running and recognizes a
hyper-threading enabled system. In addition,
it will take advantage of
the logical CPUs to their fullest extent (assuming the O/S reports that
it recognizes that hyper-threading is enabled). It is also a supported
configuration...any issues should be logged as bugs. All Oracle versions
can take advantage of hyper-threading, since no support code has been
added for it, all the changes were in the O/S, the bios and the hardware.
When Oracle asks the O/S how many CPUs are in the system, the O/S
just reports the total number of logical CPUs and Oracle doesn't know the
difference.
