You will get more vcpu ids than you have threads, but since you disable 16 out of 64, you will have 48 active. vcpupin should continue as follows: This is if you pin all vcpus to the VM, which may not be the best thing to do. The maximum number of vcpus you can pin on a Threadripper 3960X are 48. -- = You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856335 Title: Cache Layout wrong on many Zen Arch CPUs Status in QEMU: New Bug description: AMD CPUs have L3 cache per 2, 3 or 4 cores. Currently, TOPOEXT seems to always map Cache ass if it was an 4-Core per CCX CPU, which is incorrect, and costs upwards 30% performance (more realistically 10%) in L3 Cache Layout aware applications. Example on a 4-CCX CPU (1950X /w 8 Cores and no SMT): =C2=A0=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0EPYC-IBPB =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0AMD =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 In windows, coreinfo reports correctly: ****---- Unified Cache 1, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64 ----**** Unified Cache 6, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64 On a 3-CCX CPU (3960X /w 6 cores and no SMT): =C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0EPYC-IBPB =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0AMD =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 in windows, coreinfo reports incorrectly: ****-- Unified Cache 1, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64 ----** Unified Cache 6, Level 3, 8 MB, Assoc 16, LineSize 64 Validated against 3.0, 3.1, 4.1 and 4.2 versions of qemu-kvm. With newer Qemu there is a fix (that does behave correctly) in using the = dies parameter: =C2=A0 The problem is that the dies are exposed differently than how AMD does it natively, they are exposed to Windows as sockets, which means, that if you are nto a business user, you can't ever have a machine with more than two CCX (6 cores) as consumer versions of Windows only supports two sockets.
