Subject: [Opensim-users] Multi-core, multi-threading OpenSim<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>A simple and stupid question. I was trying to look for
some <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>information if OpenSim is multi-threaded and able to
automatically run <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>on multiple cores, or if due to some limitations of Mono
(unknown to <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>me), this is impossible. Google seems quiet on this (or I
might just <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>have been unable to trigger the right combination of
keywords that <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>provide me with the answer I need).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If so, it would make more sense to launch multiple
separate Mono <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>instances, each running a set of regions, instead of
having just one <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>instance with all the regions in that server?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>What would you recommend as a more reasonable
configuration? I usually <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>have Linux installations with 4 virtual cores, and from
visual <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>observation, only two (sometimes even just one!) is being
used all the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>time by OpenSim and Robust. Does Mono somehow pre-bind to
a single <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>core and never changes? (In that case, launching multiple
OpenSim <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>instances would all get pre-bound on a single core, thus
not really <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>making any difference?) For a server that is exclusively
used for <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>OpenSim, it seems a waste to let all those cores run
idle...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Thanks for any input on this :)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
