<Thread_UseAllCpuGroups> Element
Specifies whether the runtime distributes managed threads across all CPU groups.

Syntax

enabled="true|false"/>
Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
enabled |
Required attribute. Specifies whether the runtime distributes managed threads across all CPU groups. |
enabled Attribute
Value | Description |
---|---|
false |
The runtime does not distribute managed threads across multiple CPU groups. This is the default. |
true |
The runtime distributes managed threads across multiple CPU groups, if the computer has multiple CPU groups and the <GCCpuGroup> element is enabled. |
Child Elements
None.
Parent Elements
Element | Description |
---|---|
configuration |
The root element in every configuration file used by the common language runtime and .NET Framework applications. |
runtime |
Contains information about assembly binding and garbage collection. |
Remarks
When a computer has multiple CPU groups, enabling this element causes the runtime to distribute managed threads across all CPU groups. To use this feature, you must also enable the <GCCpuGroup> element, which extends garbage collection to all CPU groups and takes all cores into account when creating and balancing heaps. Enabling the <GCCpuGroup> element requires enabling the <gcServer> element. If these elements are not enabled, enabling the <Thread_UseAllCpuGroups>
element has no effect.
Example
The following example shows how to enable support for multiple CPU groups.
<configuration>
<runtime>
<Thread_UseAllCpuGroups enabled="true"/>
<GCCpuGroup enabled="true"/>
<gcServer enabled="true"/>
</runtime>
</configuration>
