Hello Alexander,

Hello

I faced a problem with PCM, it can't recognize second CPU available on the board and attribute all core to the single one.

Below is an output from PCM and after that from wmic

Briefly in reality there are two CPU E5-2680 with SMT disabled so 8 cores each and 16 totally. PCM in turn found single CPU with 16 cores.

What could be a source of the problem?

Thanks

Alexander,

thanks for your report.

could you please attach /proc/cpuinfo from your system?

Thank you,

Roman

It is Windows system.

What information I can provide then?

Hello Alexander,

Do you have NUMA disabled on the system?

Yes

PCM uses code based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683194%28v=vs.85%29.aspx to enumerate the nodes. Since you have numa disabled I'm assuming that pcm only sees 1 processor.

Can you check if after enabling numa then does PCM run okay?

Maybe we need to change PCM to look at processorPackageCount instead of numaNodeCount in the GetLogicalProcessorInformation() logic.

With NUMA enabled PCM shows two sockets.

Hi Alexander,

thanks for reporting this. I will send you a patch for testing.

Thanks,
