Hi Brian,

Yep, I guess -GE:not sets -SK:not...

Hi Brian,

AFAIK, MIRA uses multiple threads only for the skimming part (all against all comparison). You choose the number of threads to use at run time using -SK:not=<integer>

From the manual (http://mira-assembler.sourceforge.net/docs/ mira.html):

The parameters for SKIM3:

number_of_threads(not)=integer >= 1 Number of threads used in SKIM, default is 2. A few parts of SKIM are non-threaded, so the speedup is not exactly linear, but it should be very close. E.g., with 2 processors I get a speedup of 170%.

Although the main data structures are shared between the threads, there's some additional memory needed for each thread.

HTH,

Lionel

Hi

You say mira supports multiple processors. Is there a flag when running mira to do this or is it specified during installation

regards

Brian
