[Opensim-users] OpenSim and Multi-core/Multi-processor Systems

[Alan Miller]

Hi,

I think that depends on what you are doing.

A single loaded simulator, where performance is an issue, ie lots of NPCs objects, scripts etc, will probably benefit most from high clock speed. So Xeon Haswell processors would probably fit the bill.  Once there are multiple loaded i.e. in use simulators the benefits of multiple cores and processors and lots of memory will likely shine through.

I recently saw a suggestion from the MOSES team for their MOSES in a Box that two processor systems were recommended. That got me wondering whether OpenSim can or does use multi-core and multi-processor systems if they are in the same computer/server?  So would dual processors (2 rather than 1 say) and adding cores (4 or 6 or 8?) for each processor make a difference or is it better to go for higher powdered and faster clock speed with a single processor.
