SUMMARY
The configuration documentation in the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) build of Visual Studio .NET includes incorrect information for the  attributes. This article provides the correct documentation.

MORE INFORMATION
cpuMask (used only on multiprocessor Web servers)

This attribute specifies which processors on a multiprocessor server are eligible to run ASP.NET processes (Aspnet_wp.exe). The cpuMask value specifies a bit pattern that indicates that the CPU is eligible to run ASP.NET threads. For example, the cpuMask value &quot;13&quot; represents the bit pattern &quot;1101&quot;. On a computer that has four CPUs, this indicates that ASP.NET processes can be scheduled on CPUs 0, 2, and 3, but not on CPU 1. ASP.NET starts one worker process for each eligible CPU. If the webGarden attribute (see the following section) is set to true, the cpuMask limits worker processes to the number of eligible CPUs. (The maximum number of worker processes allowed is equal to the number of CPUs). By default, the webGarden attribute is set to false and ASP.NET has one worker process.

webGarden (used only on multiprocessor Web servers)

This attribute, which is used in conjunction with the cpuMask attribute, controls CPU affinity.

webGarden=&quot;true&quot; indicates that the cpuMask attribute is used to specify which CPUs are eligible to run ASP.NET processes. When webGarden is true, ASP.NET can run multiple simultaneous worker processes, with each process assigned an affinity to an eligible processor that is specified by the cpuMask value.

webGarden=&quot;false&quot; indicates that CPU usage is scheduled by the Windows operating system and that all processors are eligible to run the ASP.NET process. The default setting is false. Additional query words: kbreadme
