Brian Beach, Solutions ArchitectCustomers running high performance computing (HPC) workloads on Amazon Linux occasionally ask to disable the Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) that is enabled by default. In the pre-cloud world, this was usually performed by modifying the BIOS. That turned off HT Technology for all users, regardless of any possible benefits obtainable, for example, on I/O intensive workloads. With the cloud, HT Technology can be turned on or off, as is best for a particular application. This post discusses methods for disabling HT Technology. According to Intel: Hyper-Threading Technology makes a ... Read More
