[libvirt] NUMA cell?
Hi, I have a question regarding the documentation of libvirt. There is a structure called 'virNodeInfo' and in the doc, you speak about NUMA cell. I was wondering what that is. And what do you understand by 'the number of threads per core'? Thank you for a quick response, since I need to write an explanation in a report until this evening. Have a good day!

A NUMA cell in libvirt terms is a NUMA node in other terms. Unfortunately the word "node" is horribly overloaded in libvirt, so we choose another name.

For processors that support hyperthreading, this is the number of hyperthreads they have per core. On a machine that doesn't support hyperthreading, this will be 1. -- Chris Lalancette
