When running in Dedicated Processor mode - that parition may donate unused cycles to the shared pool. However, when using it's processors CPU1 will always be the exact same physical core, idem for the other three - whatever is assigned when it is activated is what they will be.
When running is Shared Mode only the number of virtual cores is defined. On a system with, e.g., 16 cores activated - while the PHYP will attempt to map virtual to the same physical core (aka Home node) - it is not a requirement - hence the physical core assigned may change (e.g., another LPAR is using it, so rather than wait for it to be free a different core is assigned)
p.s. When donating a core - if a dedicated (processor) partition wants it CPU the borrowing LPAR gets removed immediately by the PHYP.
Hope this explains the basics!

2. HP-UX
I'm working on a system to monitor a wide-range of Unix platforms, and I'd like to know if HP-UX has anything similar to AIX's SMT (simultaneous multithreading)? If there a way to separate an HP-UX CPU into multiple logical partitions which can then act as multiple CPUs?
Thanks in advance,

I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability.
Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion. (0 Replies)

Calling upon all Solaris zone experts.
I have a Sun T3-1 that is running a few whole-root zones. I've set the 'capped-memory' setting on all the zones.
However, I have a problem on the one zone. Under load it uses more memory that has been allocated to it.

XFCE4-POWER-MANAGER(1) General Commands Manual XFCE4-POWER-MANAGER(1)
NAME
xfce4-power-manager-settings - Settings dialog for the Xfce 4 Power manager
SYNOPSIS
xfce4-power-manager-settings [options]
DESCRIPTION
xfce4-power-manager-settings is a utility that comes with the Xfce4 power manager to access/change its configuration. It is a separate
program that uses xfconf to load/save settings according to the user's choices. xfce4-power-manager-settings requires the Xfce4 power man-
ager to be running because it connects to it via DBus and gets information about which settings should and should not be displayed; for
example, the xfce4-power-manager-settings utility will not show the LCD brightness settings if no device was detected by the running
instance of the Xfce4 power manager.
xfce4-power-manager-settings does not have any command line options.
