| DukeBox 2002-10-29 07:36:15 | When i change the thread count to 16, only 3 cpu's are used.. (2 100%, 1 +/- 34%) the rest is near 0%. |
| DukeBox 2002-10-29 07:47:29 | quote: Hmm, funny when i change is to 4 threads, 4 cpu's are used 100%.. and 12 are 0% when i increase the thread count.. it's the story above.. |
| [DPC]Scorpion 2002-10-29 08:59:08 | yeah dukebox i tought when i read the 1st post hey my 4 cpu pII200 box is running 100% loaded so the thread 4 is working funny the thread 16 ain't  |
| Stephen Brooks 2002-10-29 12:40:59 | Probably with that many threads, most of your CPU power ends up going on managing the threads rather than actually doing calculation?! Just a thought. Setting more threads than you have CPUs is generally a bad idea because the computer then has to figure out how to balance them when they conflict for resources on the same CPU.

| [DPC]Scorpion 2002-10-29 13:46:53 | but dukebox realy has 2*16 CPU in in 2 machines that's why he goes so fast |

| Stephen Brooks 2002-10-29 15:32:46 | Oh - I misread that post and thought you had 4 CPUs instead of 16. I don't really know why it would be acting like that to tell the truth. Are your CPUs arranged in four blocks of 4 for any reason? Also, I don't know how Windows scales to use more CPUs... I thought the Win9x commands only coped with 4 max. OK here's a suggestion: install muon 4 times into 4 separate folders, and set threads=4 for each. That should do well.

| DrHanser 2002-10-29 16:45:29 | quote: Win9x and (IIRC) XP Home only support one CPU. 2000/XP Pro supports 2. 2000 Server Supports 4. 2000 Advanced Server Supports 8. 2000 Datacenter Server Supports up to 32. I do not know about NT flavors. I would imagine that it is a similar setup. Windows 2000 scales to multiple CPUs quite well, especially compared to NT from what I've heard, I have no first-hand knowledge. -- The mark of an educated man is one who knows a lot about something, and a little about everything. |
| DukeBox 2002-10-30 13:45:09 | They are scaled in 1 unit of 16 cpu's running ms datacenter. they are not scaled in any way by thread devine. |
