Multithreading done right

: )

Can anyone read the above image? Could be a recipe for a Sidewinder Fang, can’t read a thing i’m afraid/

right click->display image (or whatever it is like on english systems)

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

gibby, just do it. your browser will display it in original resolution, this is quite readable. here it is

Ahh, that’s better, can see the thing now, nearly had to get my bi noc u lars out there, the old mincers not what they were lol

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

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
