Hi there! I'd like to know if it is possible or imaginable to have htdig use more than one processor.
I have htdig running on a multiprocessor machine, and whilst the first CPU has 99.9% load, the second is idle most of the time. If there was a way to split the work into some pieces, this might speed up the indexing process a lot, I suppose. The dual PIII-1000 machine I talk about is now indexing for more than 17 hours CPU-time and not yet finished. The network probably isn't the bottleneck. It's connected to the webservers it indexes via Gigabit Ethernet. Well, it's not really a problem if indexing takes 72 hours, but it'd of course be nicer if it took less. So if you have any idea what I could do... let me know. I'd be willing to test any weird multiprocessor patches on an old multiprocessor machine I also have access to. I'd need a version of htdig for Solaris 2.6 for that, though (I never managed to compile htdig for Solaris). Well, maybe I could also have 2.8 installed, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance, Peter Asemann _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
