Does it see each core as a physical or logical CPU or ? Vanderpool is a hardware support for OS virtualization (running multiple OS "at the same time"), how does Linux kernel make use of this, particularly which part of the kernel code? I poke around the source (2.6.10) some but haven't figured both issues out yet. Many thanks!
