 Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2024 5:05 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Hyperthreding Ryzen 9 5950X(100-000000059) |
 |
|
I upgraded from Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core to Ryzen 9 5950X Sixteen-Core. Before the upgrade, top showed 16 CPUs (2 x 8 cores, because of hyperthreading in the 1800X). After the upgrade, top still shows only 16 CPUs, but I expected 32 (2 x 16 cores, because of hyperthreading in the 5950X).
Spending time with google lead me to conjecture hyperthreading is disabled on my 5950X. How can I confirm that, and if so -- or perhaps it is some of the cores rather than hyperthreading being disabled -- then how can I achieve 32 threads with all 16 cores enabled?
Motherboard ASRock x370 Taichi, BIOS P7.30, BIOS setting "SMT Mode Auto" (options are Auto or else Disabled). BIOS reports CPU Microcode A20F10/A201016

Kernel is configured to load | Quote: | | amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam19h.bin i915/dg2_guc_70.bin i915/dg2_huc_gsc.bin i915/dg2_dmc_ver2_08.bin |
(the i915 stuff is for Arc 770 graphics card -- having problems with that as well but will make separate post).
Online I find reference made to "creator mode and game mode" and "Ryzen master" to somehow switch between modes, but as far as I can tell that is some sort of Windoze program.

Please check in your kernel configuration IF:
1. you have enabled this:
| Code: | Processor type and features --->
[*] Symmetric multi-processing support |
2. you have disabled this option and set an indiviual value:
| Code: | Processor type and features --->
[ ] Enable Maximum number of SMP Processors and NUMA Nodes
(32) Maximum number of CPUs |
If yes, THEN check your syslog (with "dmesg") for a message like:
| Quote: | | smpboot: 64 Processors exceeds NR_CPUS limit of 32 |
Some AMD machines want here a higher value than you really have (I dont know why). If you have this message then set it accorfing the message.
(I have described this also here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Tutorials/Manual_Configuring_Kernel_Version_6.6#Part_4_-_My_recommendations )

My problem was Maximum number of CPUs ; I now have it set to 64 and all is well. Thank you  |
