Multithreading done right

I can see the image ok but i need a microscope to read it

What about now?

Or do you require the use of hubble =P

So, I’m at a little loss as I don’t know what this image means. Can someone explain it to me?

Join the club…

Maybe it should have a comparison to single core and Dual core =]

Thx CheeseOnToast!

OK.

As we all know, there is many Virtualization Techniques.

None of them is better or worse - it all depends on the specific problem.

So our problem is Multithreading under MS Windows for legacy application at x86 platform.

From my own experience I know that Linux/Windows Guest oses works fine in ESXi or vSphere with perfomance near native - RAM and Storage are bottlenecks.
Fixes - more RAM, Hardware Raid with more Cach Memory, storage with RAID 10, ect : ) )

I did choosed ESXi 3.5 because my servers spec somewhere at http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3.5/Whiteboxes_SATA_Controllers_for_ESX_3.5_3i.htm:

CPU with VT technology, Intel Pro/100 Ethernet card and Silicon Image 3512 based Storage Controller.

For example guest machine has 2 vCpu, but sitting on 4 cores:

Btw there is availability for expiriensed admins to make 1 vCPU but with two vCores

Alex.

So everything running in the virtual machine thinks it’s on a single CPU core, but the virtual machine software actually runs it on more than one…?

I dont understand what any of this has to do with the original topic…

Ah , sorry.
I mean to utilize all the cores - not to divide flserver.exe by tasks on different machines.

Please move messages from #16 to http://the-starport.net/freelancer/forum/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3690&post_id=38419#forumpost38419 thread if there is possibility.

From a technical perspective I seriously doubt that this will achieve much. To put it simple: FLServer is written in a way that every calculation depends on another one which has to be executed before. So you just simply can’t parallelize it, because there is nothing to calculate parallel. Thus a VM just cant magically merge x cores to one…

Topic about VM is here.

This topic is about running flserver.exe like different processes:

2 FL Server processes as main and 1 FL Server process as direct-play gateway

Sry, you have lost me.

Hehe, nvm
