From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Tue Jan 14 19:06:48 2003 Subject: multi-threaded octave? From: "Shahbaz Chaudhary" To: Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 20:06:28 -0500 Hi, I just installed Octave and it works great. But as I was running a particularly long computation, I noticed that it was only using one of my cpus (my computer has two). Apparently it is single threaded...is there a multi-threaded version of the program? Actually I installed octave (and every thing it depended on) using redhat RPMs (for my RH 7.3) system. Later I found out about ATLAS...while I was installing that it asked my about multiple threads. Once I had configured and installed atlas, I ran my octave session again, but didn't see any difference...I'm not sure if that is because my pre-existing octave didn't even pickup the newly installed atlas. Any way, if there is something I can do to improve performance (especially since one of my cpus is going to waste), I'll appreciate it. BTW, if I run octave on Apple's g4...will their vector technology significantly speed up octave? Thanks.
