catia can use more than one processor

catia can use more than one processor

catia can use more than one processor

(OP)
I am using catia V5 R13 on an IBM computer with two Zeon 3.06Ghz processors. The hyperthreading is activated in the BIOS on my computer.  Catia see four processor instead of two with this option.  When we look at the task manager we see that it only use one of the four processors at a time. In fact, it tops off at 25% of the power of the processors. Can we change the configuration of Catia so it can use all four processors at the same time?  If not, should we remove the hyperthreading so we can use a full processor?

Thank you

RE: catia can use more than one processor

No, CATIA will not make use of multiple processors in parallel (well, elfini stress analysis supposedly will, and CATDMU builder can me made to, I believe).

The code is simply not multi-threaded.

Disabling hyperthreading won't buy you anything either.
