In the post here I listed the units of parallelism (UoP) applied by various products on a single node. Those findings are summarized in the table below. Product Version/HW Cores per Node UoP per Node Notes Teradata EDW 6700H 16 32 Uses hyper-threads. Greenplum DCA UAP Edition 16 8 Recommends 1 Segment for each 2…
6 May… There is a good summary of this post and on the comments here. – Rob 17 April… A single unit of parallelism is a core plus a thread/process to feed it instructions plus a feed of data. The only exception is when the core uses hyper-threading… in which case 2 instructions can execute…
