filepro on multi-core processor

[Richard Veith]

Walter,
  Thanks for your response.   No network is involved, this is a single PC
application with FilePro and the databases on the same machine.  The largest
database is about 40 GB.   As for "why and where" FilePro might be speeded
up using multiple cores, I was asked to look into this, and I did not want
to assume that, in general, FilePro could not benefit from multiple cores
(we are not doing crypto stuff, nor video processing).

Tips to Speedup Windows filePro.
1) Do not run the application on individual workstations, rather run it via
terminal services (remote desktop to central server) if you have a large
dataset. Meaning if you have a 1 gigabyte file that you are doing a
sequential sort through, you must transfer the entire file over the wire to
be processed with a 100mb network it would take a minimum of 100 seconds
just to move the data to be processed if I did the math in my head right.

I cannot imagine there is anything other than the crypto stuff that would
benefit from more than a single core.

Why and where do you think filePro would be speeded up if it could process
things out of sequence?

In my question below, I should've mentioned that I am talking about a
Windows machine with a multi-core processor.

Is it true that FilePro will only utilize one core on a multi-core
processor?  Or is there a version of FilePro that will make use of multiple
cores to speed things up?  I did not find anything about this on the FilePro
website.

 

Thanks,

Rich
