Unidata 6.0.3 works fine on IBM AIX 5.2 LPAR's and planning to test on AIX 5.3 with 7.x, Unidata is based on per seat/connection as far as I remember.

Hi all, We are about to go to RFP for a new box. How does this change the dynamics if you use/"or are looking at" IBM's LPARS or virtual server technology? -Keith Johnson Lewis-Clark State College 500 8th Ave. Lewiston, ID. 83501 208 792 2510 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Wolverton Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 9:59 AM To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] Unidata and multi-core chips. Go ahead and move to UniData 7.1 -- if you have not already installed 6.1, just skip it entirely - I can't think of a downside... To my knowledge, UniData is unaware of multi-anything... When you start up, in the case of a dual/quad-processor, my understanding is that process is 'bound' to whatever CPU the OS kicked it off on... So, in theory, you do get some advantage of multiple processors, but the load is not dynamically balanced based on usage. Therefore, if all your heavy users happen to get assigned to CPU1, then CPU2 will be vastly underutilized. But if they sign off and back on, and the load has not changed, it's likely their new session would be bound to CPU2, but that is the OS handling the event, not UniData. I don't think Multi-Core will be any different - it's a way to put more than one CPU on a single die... But the brains on here from IBM will hopefully be able to correct me...

We're about to move to Unidata 6.1. Does anyone know if it can take advantage of multi-core chips, and, if so, will the licensing be different? ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
