What factors could cause the scalability issue on a 10-core CPU?
- by JackWM
I am tuning the performance of parallel Java programs. And want to check the impacts from the Architecture. I'm look into the Intel 10-core CPU, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-L8867. I found my program only scales up to 5 cores. What could be the causes? I'm considering the Architecture effects. e.g. memory contention? More specifically,
Are the 10 cores symmetric to each other?
How many memory controllers does it have?
