Cosmos & Multiple core
Cosmos & Multiple core
(OP)
Does Cosmos use multiple core? Does it use it in every aspect (meshing and calculation). I plan to buy the new dell m4400 and don't know what to choose between 2 core at 3 ghz or 4 cores at 2.5 ghz.
Thanks!
Thanks!

This is exactly the info I was looking for. Chances are good that Cosmos wouldn't use other cores for meshing but would use then for solving. I don't thing they put a maximum core number on tasks. They just code it so task can be splitted or not.
Bottom line, I'll buy the faster dual core.
RE: Cosmos & Multiple core
this is an interesting question.
With a quad-core, Cosmos will run at 68% of all cores, during the solving (not the meshing), using the FFEPlus solver. For the Direct Sparse, it hogs the RAM and runs at 100%.
See brief discussion on scribd. There isn't much concrete information "out there".
That dell m4400 sounds very cool.
