Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Sure, this is not a Windows NT group here but I know a lot of expertise hanging around here: We have an application that runs under NT and does a lot of OpenGL. CPU load is high. It's a single process, probably single thread application. I'm wondering if I should invest in CPUs or in Graphics accelerators (video card). Could a monolithic application benefit from multi CPU at all? Could driver code run on a different CPU while the other CPU is running for the application? Comments? -- Chris Christoph P. U.
