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

Betreff: Re: ECJ is not using all cores

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
