Dual Processor Problems

[pdavis]

Has anyone experienced any problems running 9.1 on a dual processor workstation. We are experiencing problems since we upgraded to 9.1.

I know there were some problems with dual processors on ADT and adjusting the whipthread system variable resolved the problem.

Perhaps try using:

SMP Seesaw (http://www.mlin.net/SMPSeesaw.shtml)

SMP Seesaw is a utility for dual-CPU or dual-core computers that controls how Windows balances the compute load between the two processors. By default, Windows balances the processing load to both CPUs as evenly as possible among all programs. SMP Seesaw provides a convenient means to change the processor affinities for all running programs at once. In particular, the most common use is to dedicate one of your processors to a single program, thereby improving the performance or responsiveness of that program.
