Dave, We run our 250-user UniVerse system (10.1.x at the moment) on Windows 2003 Server. We have 2 x quad-core Xeon E5345 2.33GHz/1333FSB and 3GB RAM (no point in more on 32-bit O/S like Windows, Windows-64 could use more). So we have eight actual CPU cores, and it shows as 8 CPUs in Windows Task Manager.
Yes, multiple Telnet, phantom and uvcs (UniObjects) processes do 'spread' themselves across the available CPUs. This is completely automatic and it 'just happens'. An individual job is a single process (BUILD.INDEX and some sorts excepted) and will run on a single CPU core. To get a single job to run across multiple processors, you would have to re-architect it as a controlling process splitting up the data and somehow allocating it to a number (# CPUs - 2?) of phantom processes to run in parallel. I know of an ISV who looked seriously at this, but decided they didn't need to bother, the Moore's Law 'free lunch' solved their throughput issues! :-) Happy New Year Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Liesse, Dave > Sent: Tuesday, 1 January 2008 04:09 > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: RE: [U2] Server Processors (Universe) > > Thank you all for your answers.
