Hi, All,
A client of mine is having trouble getting Tomcat 4.1.27 to make use of multiple processors on his quad processor system under Windows 2003. My questions: 1. What can he do to enable Tomcat to make use of all 4 processors? 2. If a single instance of Tomcat can't make use of multiple processors, is it possible to set up multiple Tomcat services, each tied to a processor [I understand completely how to set up multiple Tomcat services, I just don't know how to tie them to a specific processor]? Here are my client's answers to my questions regarding his configuration: * Which version of Windows are you running? Windows 2003 * Which specific version of Tomcat are you running? Tomcat 4.1.27 with the -server flag set * Which version of the J2SE SDK are you running Tomcat on top of? JRE is 1.3.1 * Are other applications successfully using the multiple processors? Yes, Cognos is spawning processes that recognize the multiple processors * How are you determining that Tomcat is running on only one processor? When I look in Task Manager, I always see one processor running at 100%. When I look at the running processes, the java.exe, is running at 13%. This server has 4 processors, and is using HyperThreading, so Windows sees 8 processors. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much for your help.
