Hello, I am running a script that needs to check its results with a lot of random data (Monte Carlo methods). I am trying to use ithreads to do this. However, on an 8 CPU server, Perl never uses more than 200% CPU. I am running Perl 5.8.5 on Red Hat EL. Is there some configuration that could allow Perl to use more CPU while using ithreads?
Also, how well do threads scale? My initial attempts are using 100 threads but this may need to rise to 1000. As it stands it is taking forever to complete, but this is most likely caused by not having access to all CPUs that are available. Any help would be much appreciated, Peter Lobsinger
