Hello all. I have a brand new AMD64 dual core processor running on Debian Testing using gnubg .15. I am participating in a backgammon rollout program and understand very little about how these dual core processors are supposed to work. When running one instance of gnubg I see that in the system monitor the CPU usage hangs out around 100% for one core and nothing or very low for the other. And then every few seconds the cores switch. I do not believe this is the most efficient use of resources, is it? I see that version .16 has multi-thread support but that the binaries are only for Windows. Will this compile for Linux? And will doing so make the process more efficient? Am I completely misunderstanding all of this?
When I run two instances of gnubg doing rollouts the cores max out and I notice that the estimated time to completion stays the same for both rollouts. That seems like a good thing?
