Hi!

I have spent some bucks in order to upgrade my system with an AMD x2 Dual Core. - Now I was wondering if it is possible to detect a dual core system within bmx and to assign certain tasks to different cores?

For instance I have two very cpu intense For..next loops. Could I tell bmx that each loop shall be done on one core?

Thanks, Grisu

Using threads, I believe.

No. BlitzMAX doesn't support multithreading.

Pseudo yes:

if you want the other core only to calculate stuff, it can be done using 2 executables and let them communicate through networking (I'm the lazy ass -> GNET :))

Nice idea Dreamora. :o) - Thanks for that.
