Scientific Linux defines logical CPUs equivalent to cores/virtualCPUs, so a dual-core (non-hyperthreading) CPU is counted as 2 logical CPUs and a single hyperthreading CPU is counted as 2 logical CPUs.
CPU counts over 8 for AMD64/EM64T require use of the largesmp kernel.
The "SMP" kernel supports a maximum of 16GB of main memory. Systems with more than 16GB of main memory use the "Hugemem" kernel. In certain workload scenarios it may be advantageous to use the "Hugemem" kernel on systems with more than 12GB of main memory.
