Question

jane has remoted into a virtual machine being hosted on azure and sees that the intel cpu being used supports the ability to schedule tasks such that a single physical core can be addressed as two logical cores. which of the following cpu characteristics has jane discovered?
○ ldap
○ cpu overcommitment ratio
○ hyperthreading
○ virtual cpus

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is for directory services, not related to CPU logical cores.
• CPU overcommitment ratio is about allocating more virtual CPUs than physical, not about a physical core appearing as multiple logical cores.
• Virtual CPUs are virtualized representations, not the technology to make one physical core act as two logical cores.
• Hyperthreading (Intel's technology) allows a single physical core to be treated as two logical cores, enabling simultaneous execution of multiple threads. This matches the scenario where one physical core is addressed as two logical cores.

Answer:

Hyperthreading
