"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."
This is NOT how it works. The OS is able to start a process on a particular CPU and then can move the process on to other CPU's as it sees fit, to manage the load. E.g. does dynamically balance based on usage. There are OS commands to "bind" processes to CPUs, but these should not normally required, you are best to leave it up to the OS! ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
