Dear Peter,
Running your web app across 16 CPUs is not a good idea. Due to CPU
cache issues, contention among threads, and various other issues it
is usually better to run such apps while affinitized to 2, 3 or 4
CPUs (depening on your app). At least that is what we have found in
our testing.
In Linux, you can use the taskset utility to set affinity. I suggest
adding this to the script that starts jbossas.
Have you published any of your test results? I'll be looking to
purchase a new machine later this year. ;-)
