intel的超线程技术能让一个物理核上并行执行两个线程，大多数情况下能提高硬件资源的利用率，增强系统性能。对于cpu密集型的数值程序，超线程技术可能会导致整体程序性能下降。鉴于此，执行OpenMP或者MPI数值程序时建议关闭超线程技术。
以下是github上找到的动态打开、关闭超线程技术的脚本。其原理是根据/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list文件找到逻辑核的关系，然后编辑/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online文件实现动态开启和关闭超线程技术。
#!/bin/bash
HYPERTHREADING=1
function toggleHyperThreading() {
for CPU in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*; do
CPUID=`basename $CPU | cut -b4-`
echo -en "CPU: $CPUIDt"
[ -e $CPU/online ] && echo "1" > $CPU/online
THREAD1=`cat $CPU/topology/thread_siblings_list | cut -f1 -d,`
if [ $CPUID = $THREAD1 ]; then
echo "-> enable"
[ -e $CPU/online ] && echo "1" > $CPU/online
else
if [ "$HYPERTHREADING" -eq "0" ]; then echo "-> disabled"; else echo "-> enabled"; fi
echo "$HYPERTHREADING" > $CPU/online
fi
done
}
function enabled() {
echo -en "Enabling HyperThreadingn"
HYPERTHREADING=1
toggleHyperThreading
}
function disabled() {
echo -en "Disabling HyperThreadingn"
HYPERTHREADING=0
toggleHyperThreading
}
#
ONLINE=$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online)
OFFLINE=$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/offline)
echo "---------------------------------------------------"
echo -en "CPU's online: $ONLINEt CPU's offline: $OFFLINEn"
echo "---------------------------------------------------"
while true; do
read -p "Type in e to enable or d disable hyperThreading or q to quit [e/d/q] ?" ed
case $ed in
[Ee]* ) enabled; break;;
[Dd]* ) disabled;exit;;
[Qq]* ) exit;;
* ) echo "Please answer e for enable or d for disable hyperThreading.";;
esac
done
备注：
1.脚本需root权限执行；
2.可以通过cat /proc/cpuinfo查看启用的cpu信息，该命令无需root权限；
3.lscpu命令可查看cpu的状态(无需root权限)：超线程状态下threads per core数值为2，禁用时为1.
