Support	Dual Core Processors Posted: Friday, August 12, 2005 3:38 PM (EST) We've not worked with dual processors.  However, we don't expect there to be any real benefit with this hardware configuration for single-threaded processes like APL+Win.   APL2000 Support
brent.hildebrand	dual core processors Posted: Friday, August 12, 2005 9:41 PM (EST) I have not tried this, but, if one starts an ActiveX copy of APL, and uses the Defer method on the server side to get a process started, so you really do have multiple threads running, will the operating system run the second copy of Interpreter on the second processor? And what about Web Services; same thing, multiple copes of the Interpreter running. Would not a dual processor system help in this situation?
Michael.Hughes	dual core processors Posted: Saturday, August 13, 2005 6:07 AM (EST) I haven't tried it either but I seem to remember Eric Baelen saying once that a COM session would run as another thread if multi-threading was available.   I thought this was said when Dyalog claimed to have multi threading in their interpreter.
Jairo.Lopez	Dual Core Processors Posted: Saturday, August 13, 2005 11:42 AM (EST) Brent is right about both things. Using APL+Win as an ActiveX server, using the 'Defer' method will take advantage of the dual processor. Also, having multiple copies of a workspace in APL+WebServices  will take advantage of multi-processor machines.
Richard.Hill	Dual Core Processors Posted: Friday, December 01, 2006 5:00 AM (EST) Since the postings in August 2006, has anyone any actual experience to report?. One of our clients is testing a dual core processor for a non-APL app, with performance limitations. They are planning to go to multicore if tests successful. I expect questions about APL performance in multicore will arise.
Michael.Shumate	Dual Core Processors Posted: Friday, December 08, 2006 4:25 PM (EST) So...   Will APL+WIN be adding support for true controlled threading?   Just a thought....   'Thread1' []THREAD 'Start'  processor1 'Thread1'[]THREAD  'Assign' fn   /mas
