Push cpu to 200%

[cheng]

Hi,

I have a server with 4 CPUs and I want to utilize my java thread to 200%. What is the best way to do it?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can do it, but you need to enable SMP in your kernel. Also, your application or sciprt should support multi-thread, otherwise kernel wouldn't know about it.

Your certainly going to need a 64 bit OS before those multi-threaded applications are going to work with your os layer in your system.

32 bit versions of linux handle smp just fine... y would you have to have 64 bit?

That's true, however using a 32bit kernel on a 64bit CPU is a waste of CPU.

why would you want to do this? just out of curiosity
