Abstract
Using resource sets for job-level control of the simultaneous multi-threading capability (SMT) of a processor in a data processing system. A resource set defined with respect to the processor is adapted to control whether the simultaneous multi-threading capability is enabled.
Claims20
A data processing system comprising:
- a bus;
- a memory operably connected to the bus;
- a processor operably connected to the bus, said processor having a simultaneous multi-threading capability;
- and
- a resource set defined with respect to the processor, said resource set adapted to control whether the simultaneous multi-threading capability is enabled.
A method of controlling whether a simultaneous multi-threading capability of a processor in a data processing system is enabled, said method comprising:
- establishing a resource set within the data processing system;
- wherein the resource set is adapted to control whether the simultaneous multi-threading capability is enabled.
A computer program product in a computer readable medium, said computer program product adapted to control whether a simultaneous multi-threading capability of a processor in a data processing system is enabled, said computer program product adapted to carry out the steps of:
- establishing a resource set within the data processing system;
- wherein the resource set is adapted to control whether the simultaneous multi-threading capability is enabled.
