I'm guessing we have completely the wrong idea here, but anyway...
we're evaluating ESX on a quad core CPU machine. Now, what we were hoping is that by presenting a VM with one vCPU, it would effectively be able to use all 4 cores at once, but looking at the performance while running a CPU intensive task, it's only using 2400Mhz as opposed to the 9600 I was hoping/expecting.
The application I am testing isn't multi-core "aware" as such, hence the question.
Can Vmware be made to do this? Reading the overview of Virtual SMP it sounds like maybe it can, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding things...
