Configuring Control and Data Cores
There are eight cores in a PIC. Some cores, called control cores, are dedicated to running control functionality for the application. Cores dedicated to processing data for the application are called data cores.
To be able to deploy services on the PIC, you must configure at least one control core.
To configure control and data cores, use the control-cores and data-cores statements, respectively, at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number pic pic-number adaptive-services service-package extension-provider] hierarchy level:
Whereas you must designate at least one core as a control core, it is advisable you designate, depending on the nature of the application, a minimum of five data cores to achieve good performance. The total number of cores, both control and data cores, that you can dedicate using the extension-provider statement ranges from one through eight. Any cores not configured as control or data cores are treated as user cores.
 | Note: When the extension-provider statement is first configured, the PIC reboots. When the number of control or data cores is changed, the PIC reboots. |
