Is dual CPU load balancing done automatically?

Poweredge T410 with dual Xeon CPU, 32G memory is the platform I have. My question is, does Server 2022 automatically load balance between the CPUs or can I manually assign duties to each CPU?

As in, one CPU has responsibility for OS and user management, the other CPU has responsibility for Application and DB management. Is this even something I want to delve into?

    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Yes, Windows Server 2022 automatically load balances between the CPUs in a dual CPU system. The operating system is designed to distribute the workload across all available processors to optimize performance.

    However, you can manually assign duties to each CPU using processor affinity settings. This allows you to specify which processors are used by specific applications or processes.

    It's important to note that manually assigning duties to each CPU can be a complex task and may not always result in improved performance. It's generally recommended to let the operating system handle load balancing unless you have a specific reason to manually assign duties.

    Best Regards
