Can AREV utilize both processors in a Pentium II dual processor

configuration. I have been told Oracle databases are able to

do so, and wanted to know if AREV can! TIA, Jim Dierking

Jim, a dual processor *will* increase AREV performance.

You should right justify the RBASIC source code

intended for the first processor, and left justify

the source code for programs to be run on the second

processor. The compiler takes care of the rest.

I believe you are pulling his leg. The left-justified code runs on the first processor.

If you are asking about Netware using the Revelation NLM, then the answer is "perhaps, but only slightly" because the NLM will only utilize one processor.

If you are asking about NT using the Revelation NT Service, then the answer is yes, since both the OS and the Service use multiple threads that will get distributed to multiple processors.

If you are asking about just raw file access without a server-based network product such as the NLM or NT Service, then any increase in speed is due to the architecture of the NOS itself.

Generally speaking, in the case of Netware, you should always try to get the fastest single processor you can. In the case of NT, to make it as fast as Netware you will need to get two of those processors.

Not in this hemisphere it doesn't…

Eric,

So what happens if you center the text?

Carl

The issue is not AREV, but the OS it's running on. Any OS, such as Windows NT, will show a dramatic improvement. I am currently running AREV 3.12 on a dual 300MHz Pentium II, and you'd almost think it was a fast database!

Once the text is centered, and in touch with it's inner typeface, it can begin develop it's true character.

Doh!

…but will this work for a third processor, and if so what happens if I center-justify all my programs and only have one processor? Will they work then?

Thanks for any advice….

Thanks for all the help. It took a lot to rejustify our 1000+

subroutines, but I've just finished and really excited to see how

it performs.

Carl,

Once you get past two processors then you have to use

the other side of the page. Stand behind your monitor,

and use the keyboard backwards. Emus find it easier

by using a Microsoft split keyboard, then ripping

their arms out and stuffing them in the opposite

shoulder joint. Humans often do the same thing.

Another tip - the only difference between a Pentium

233 and a Pentium 300 is that you rotate the chip in

its socket 90 degrees (233 + 90=300). You can also

force more than one chip into the CPU socket at once-

(up to six in parallel in fact) without blowing the

power supply to kingdom come.

Eric

Carl,

Remember, Eric is south of the equator. In order for his suggestions to work, you must remember to turn the monitor upside down before following the instructions.

Also, instead of rotating the chip, you must rotate the computer.

If you can't find a pentium chip, just use a corn chip and write Intel Inside on the chip with a little Salsa.

Just remember, Emu's can't due math. They can't even fly.

Gary Gnu

Just make sure you rotate clockwise, not anticlockwise south of the equator.

Anti Clockwise

Anti Em!

It's a twister! It's a twister!

Oh, it was so wonderfull…you were there and you were there even Toto was there..although he kept barking something about it raining in Africa…everyone was there except for my bitmaps. That's when I knew something didn't checkout.

Gary Gnu

Actually all of this is irrelevant as we've decided to use Macs in future. Thet may not have any decent software available for them but at least they made a profit last quarter.

Nice to see that Eric will no longer be a bastard as of 1999 as the EC are planning to adopt him apparently.
