Just curious, how much does LinuxCNC benefit (or not) from multiple processors or 'cores'?
Some software does well, others need 'vertical mips' rather than 'horizontal mips' (to use some old terms). Linux handles multiple processors pretty well, the focus of this question is on LinuxCNC as an application. Much software can deal with being on multiple processors pretty well, even if they do most of their work in one thread (and ancillary processes and system services would mainly run on the 'other' processors while the primary application can saturate one processor with its main thread). Thanks...
