The technology behind Hyper-Threaded, or HT, and multi-core processors enables processors to far exceed the performance of single-core, non-HT processors. The differences between the technologies are ...

Soft Machines demonstrated a 28nm dual-core version of their virtual core approach at the Linley Processor Conference. The 300-400MHz prototype chip ran 32-bit ARM software at performance levels that ...

Soft Machines' goal with Variable Instruction Set Computing (VISC) is to break through the efficiency barriers that have prevented modern chips from realizing great architectural improvements. The ...

While Hyper-V largely handles NUMA placement automatically, admins can still hurt VM performance by overallocating virtual CPUs past a single physical CPU's core count, making it important to size VMs ...
