Maximum number of cores
Hi all,
I would like to install Xpenology on my rig. The rig has dual Xeon processors and I guess it will exceed the maximum number of cores, according to the topic posted in 2016.
Is it still limited to activate 9 or more physical cores?
CPU: 2× Intel Xeon E5-4620 v3
M/B: ASRock Rack EP2C612D8C Dual LGA2011-v3 with Intel C612 chipset
I would appreciate any ideas!
AFAIK the limit is in the kernel itself, as compiled by Synology. The platforms enabled by the current loaders have the following compute characteristics:
DS3617xs - Xeon D-1527 - 4C/8T
DS3615xs - Core i3-4130 - 2C/4T
DS918 - J3455 - 4C/4T
There has been some confusion about cores vs. threads. I think that 16 threads is the kernel limit.
As you can see, 16 threads covers all these CPUs and we have evidence that 16 threads are supported on all three platfo
