Hi,
I got a question.
Iam running a quad 200 Mhz (4*200Mhz) compaq server with 1 Go of ram . The
main purpose of the machine is to serve a web application (find nearest dealer)
for hundred of peoples using MapXtreme.
So Most applications are not
multi-threaded, and will not directly benefit from multiple CPUs. They run
as a single process on only one CPU at a time (even if the OS likes to run them
on each CPU alternately :) The important thing, is that, in the NORMAL
case, an application only runs on one cpu at a time, and thus will not really
calculate or "run" any faster on a multi-CPU
system.
The advantage of a multi-CPU system is that the whole system
runs faster, since the OS can put one process on one CPU and another different
process on another CPU. So I wanna know if MapX (the motor of MapXtreme)
is compiled to use the maximum power of a smp processor or it will just run at
the speed of a single processor?
?
