VSX performance on M8 per VS

[gnujuba]

hi cpusers,

can anybody tell me what performance I can expect per VS on a M8 appliance?
No numbers just theoretically:
If I only run ONE VS at the beginning, is this process running on one core or on all (multithreading?)?
If I run multiple VSs, is it possible to assign different cores to different VSs?

What release is available at the moment? Equador?

thanks,

gnjb

VSX's Firewall kernel is not multi-threaded and is monolithic across all VSes.

SecureXL & Performance pack are multi-threaded and will take advantage of the multi-core/CPUs in the M8

[varera]

FW kernel is uniprocessor one and shared between different VSs.

SecureXL uses other CPUs, but please check all the limitations fro SecureXL, there are many.

I would run R65 I had a lot of issues with R60 and using Dell I ran into server crashes all the time. I just upgraded to R65 on the Dell 2850 platform and it seems much better all around. One of my Dell clusters in hot-standby does about 15 - 20 million connections a day, with 10 vs's and an evr and it handles it really well, I would think the M8 would kick butt.
