Sage has many components. Some of them can take advantage of multiple cores, but there's still a lot of work to do in that direction. There is also support for more coarse-grained parallelization. > Also, does it matter (in term of speed) > that SAGE is running on a 64-bit OS vs 32-bit? For most things the speed is comparable, but IIRC there are cases where 64-bit is faster. > In general, what would > have to most significant impact on the speed of running SAGE, # of > cores, OS or simply the clock-rate of the CUP? Bumping up the clock-rate of the CPU will certainly help everything, whereas increasing the number of CPUs will only help certain things. It all depends on what you're doing. > I know very little about computer hardware, so I apologize if my > questions doesn't quite make sense. They make total sense. Are you planning on purchasing a computer and running Sage on it? I'm sure other people could give you even more specific details. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
