How to correctly dedicate server processes to specific CPU cores?

[Peter Booth]

So some questions:

What hardware is this? Are they 16 “real” cores or hyper threaded cores?
Do you have a test case setup so you can readily measure the impact of change?
Many tunings that involve numa will only show substantial results ion specific app
What does cat /proc/cpuinfo |  tail -28 return?
When you say maxed out do you literally mean that cores 6,7 show 100% CPU utilization
