"Kernel Hacking"/Developing on a HT CPU versus "physical" CPUs

[mre2007 at cs.columbia.edu]

Hey, I was wondering if from a developing/"kernel hacking" standpoint, are
hyperthreading and two "physical" CPUs any different? At what point do the
differences have to be taken into consideration when working on the
FreeBSD kernel/scheduler/etc? I'm looking to start contributing to the
FreeBSD project and am trying to get some hardware set aside.

Thanks!
