how can i run 2 thread per core , i have 8 core and 16 threads on ubuntu

I have an Intel i7 10700k with 8 cores and 16 threads. On Ubuntu, I see only 1 thread per core. I think there are 2 threads per core. How I can solve this problem?

This is the output of lscpu:

Do not think all applications can take advantage of too many cores CPUs. You just don't have 2 threads by cores. looking on your description, I guess here your motherboard is limited on that so additional threads are ignored. I had a machine with that same type of limitation few years ago

Most of them just let the operating system manage that, depending on hardware & bios setup of course.

You can still optimize your runs on software-side

If you are sure, there is no setup/hardware issues, use taskset or similar tool.

You can "force" applications to run on a dedicated pool of cores using taskset

example :

 taskset -cp 4-8 firefox 

Of course if the application uses only one core/thread, only the first one of the pool you defined is used by that application.
