Dear Torsten,
The Mozart virtual machine is single-threaded. So it will run just like
on a single core system. In order to take advantage of all the cores,
you have to distribute your program (which will then run in several
virtual machines that communicate via the language).
If you are solving big CSPs, you can use 100% of machine power with the
parallel search engine. Simply specify how many Mozart processes can
run on a given machine (8 in your case).
The distributed programming support makes Mozart "multicore-enabled" for
free ;-)
Cheers,
raph

Dear all,
we are currently planning to install Mozart on a grid of machines with 2
x QuadCore Xeon E5310 (10 x 8 processors :D). The installation will be
done by the cluster maintainer (Fortran camp, never touched Mozart), and
I try to make the experience for him as smooth as possible ;-)
So, I would like to confirm: the compilation of Mozart on 8 core
machines shouldn't pose any problems, right? I assume, we don't need any
extra settings when compiling the source RPMs provided at
http://www.mozart-oz.org/download/view.cgi?action=rpm&version=1.3.2.
Thank you!
Best
Torsten
