I have a 2 socket machine, so when I assign cores I pick 2 soeckets and 1, 2, or 3 cores per socket<br />
<br />
This always results in an even amount of cores allocated<br />
<br />
I want to try an odd number of cores<br />
<br />
Since I have 2 physical cores, If I allocate with one core and 5 cores, will that work efficiently<br />
<br />
Anything I have to look out for

VMWare, vPCU allocation

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
