Hi Austin, the reason I recommend you configure multiple processors for MIAB is because of all the different processes running in the VM. In addition to OpenSim, there is Apache, MySQL, etc... The extra processors help balance load.
The only time I've seen multiprocessor systems benefit OpenSim was with our DGS experiments. Currently your best bet for performance enhancement with regular OpenSimulator is with vertical scaling (faster computer). Hope this helps.

That got me wondering whether OpenSim can or does use multi-core and multi-processor systems if they are in the same computer/server? So would dual processors (2 rather than 1 say) and adding cores (4 or 6 or 8?) for each processor make a difference or is it better to go for higher powdered and faster clock speed with a single processor. _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
