Hi there, I have two questions... they may have been answered before.
#1: I have a dual processor BP6 motherboard running 2 Intel Celeron 433Mhz
processors. I have 2 instances to GIMPS running and everything works OK.
When I close ONE of the instances, the other remaining GIMPS instance runs
*faster*. Can someone please explain that phenomenon to me? Why would it
run faster? It still takes 50% CPU cycle in my task manager.
#2: I understand that GIMPS uses the FFT algorithm to do rapid modulo
multiplication. Is it possible (or even feasible) to split that atomic FFT
task and make it multithreaded to utilize both CPUs in my computer? Would
it improve performance? Would it even make sense?
Thanks in advance,
-Dennis
