HSF Server and multithreading

Question

Hi,
I just got a good production server with a multicore CPU. Unfortunately, when I run CPU intensive tasks like scenario calculations and consolidations, the HSFServer.exe process uses only one of the cores, so I still obtain very slow results.
Is HSF not multithreaded at all which could explain it never uses more than one core ?
Any tuning tips to improve calculation speed ?
I haven't found anything related to this in the documentation.
edit : I know the option in the HSF Administrator, Server, Settings, Advanced.
The documentation says :
Optional: In Max number of worker processes, enter a number for the MaxBackgroundWorkers register.
Defines the number of slots available for simultaneous long runtime background processes such as database exports, server consolidations, and Entity Change Manager runs.
If the number of long runtime processes exceeds MaxBackgroundWorkers, new processes are queued until a BackgroundWorker slot becomes available.
Use this equation to estimate the MaxBackgroundWorkers setting:
For consolidation-intensive servers: (Number of Physical Processors) - 1
For database export-intensive servers: 2 x (Number of Physical Processors)
But that only means that if I set 2 workers, I can perform a consolidation on one core, and a database export on another core, but it doesn't mean I can run a calculation that uses more than one core simultaneously.
Thanks in advance.
Regads,
JM

Answer 1

create a class 'exampleServer' externed JCO.Server.
//in your main method,create a array of JCO.Server by:
exampleServer serverConnections[] = new exampleServer( i );
//than start your JCO.Server
serverConnections[] .start();
the array length i decide how many server do you create.
