Hi Felipe Multi-threading support has very recently been added to moses chart, so you need the latest svn version. You also need to build moses with threading enables (run ./configure --help to see the arguments). You can check if it's working by running top and verifying that cpu usage is above 100%. Note that multiple threads are only used in decoding - whilst the decoder is loading its models, only one thread will be working,
