Nobody answered on -hackers, I try to ask there.

> 1) In what particular order are these cores numbered? Can I assume =
that 0..11 correspond to 1st physical CPU and 12..23 to second? How SMT =
threads are numbered within each core?

> 2) This machine has Intel network adapter (em driver). I want to pin =
network interrupt thread and proxy software to the same processor so =
they share at least L2 or L3 cache. How can I do this? =46rom the one =
hand, I see the following processes:

intr{irq260: em1:rx 0}

intr{irq261: em1:tx 0}
>=20
> =46rom the other hand, the following processes seems to be unrelated =
to network but they share same PID:

intr{swi4: clock}
> 11 root -88 - 0K 720K WAIT 17 40:03 0.00% =
intr{irq263: ahci0}

intr{swi1: netisr 0}
> 11 root -88 - 0K 720K WAIT 3 3:08 0.00% =
intr{irq256: mfi0}

and 261 in my example)?
