Hello.

I'm trying to understand the sizer.

How to calculate Applied Weight?

CPU Type : 2 x Intel Xeon Processor 6252 (2.1 GHz, 24 cores) (48 Cores)

Actual Core Capacity : 336.00
Applied Weight : 74.39
Adjustment Due To Memory Issues : 0.00
Adjustment Due To NUMA Considerations : 0.00

Effective RAW Capacity : 410.39 (Actual Core Capacity + Applied Weight)

To answer your question “How to calculate Applied Weight?” you do not calculate it. It is a known quantity provided by the vendor, a characteristic of the selected processor based on industry standard benchmark testing.

You utilize the Applied Weight figure to calculate your Effective RAW Capacity because this gives you a real-world-applicable figure on which to base sizing.

Hi Alona.

Thanks for the answer. 

is there any error displayed or is the page not loading or…? → Nothing happened….(blank page)

 

This is all the menu I see.

Hi there!

I’m surprised the link does not work for you (is there any error displayed or is the page not loading or…?)

Try navigating in Sizer Help>Sizing Approaches and Logic>Cluster Sizing>Cores (Actual Cores, Adjusted Weight, Memory Adjustments like Unbalanced DIMMs).

From the page:

“Applied Weight

Intel designs a wide range of CPUs to meet different market needs.  Core count certainly varies but the speed of a core is not the same across all CPUs.

So applied weight is where we have adjusted the cores to the baseline processor.”

Let us know if that helps.
