Re^5: parallelism v.python

Oops, sorry, missed your Q earlier.

Two socket, 6-core X5660 Xeon @ 2.80GHz.

I don't know about 'safe' assumptions, but in this case, such an assumption would be correct -- er.. wait, what's a VM again? ;-)

I am running a numa-aware kernel, w/default policies, V3.13.5, SMP PREEMPT, 1000Hz clock interrupt in 'tickless mode'.

2 sockets x 6 cores x 2 (hyperthreading) = 24 "processors". Using 9 threads for your benchmark is a really weird choice. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
