Hi Eric, To my knowledge, the SpectroServer application is still single threaded. Until it is made multithreaded so it can use more than one processor there will always be that bottleneck.

One thing that came out of that review is that on one of our DSSes (managing about 8,000 devices) Spectrum had max'd out the number of threads (20, I think) that it could use for polling. So it seems that no matter if the SS was 64-bit and had tons more memory available, we would still need to move some of the workload (managed devices) off to another SS. But maybe there are other advantages SS on 64-bit other than lifting the memory ceiling?

(Legacy KB ID CNC TS29305 ) SPECTRUM 9.0 will install and run on 64-bit OS that are supported (listed above). However, they will run only as a 32-bit application and therefore will not take advantage of extra memory resources beyond what a 32-bit application of that platform allows. Spectrum 9.0 with Solaris x86 is not supported. CA plans to add support in Spectrum 10.0 to allow for 64 bit OS to be supported.
