[erlang-questions] How to setup Erlang to run on physical cores

[Dániel Szoboszlay]

If you don't mind binding the schedulers to logical cores, I think the
quickest solution is:

erl +sbt ts +SP 50:50

This will tell Erlang to lay out schedulers by first binding to the first
logical CPU in each core, then the second and so on. Then +SP tells to only
use 50% of the available logical CPU-s (e.g. 1 hyper thread per core).

You can avoid the scheduler binding and/or better deal with NUMA
architectures by passing in a custom CpuTopology that reveals only 1 hyper
thread/core for Erlang. This can be done with the +sct command line flag,
but the syntax for CpuTopologies is a bit complex.
