Hi Uday,

I've specified the cores if you look at my previous answer to Warren. Are there some more
places where to define multi-threading for ECJ? I don't find any other information than
setting the cores with breedthreads and evalthreads.

Greetings

Bojan

Bojan
ECJ can be multi threaded, look at the manual, various elements of
breeding, evaluating, etc can be multithreaded and you can specify
threads=cores to get full parallelism. I am running ECJ on 12 core and
using all of them, so shouldn't be an issue.
Uday
