Hardware Config to Reduce Optimisation Time

[kassaindia]

I want to run optimisation but it takes lot of time as data is huge. I wanted to buy a Apple Mac Pro with 2- Quad Core Processors. Is Ninja able to split its processing on 2 processors so that the speed increases. If it cannot split the process for it 2 run on 2 processors simultaneously than I will buy single quad-core machine. Any other specs that you can suggest that will reduce optimisation.

Hello kassaindia,

NT6.5 supports multi-core/multi-processor hardware. NT internally supports multiple threads of executions which would be run by the Windows OS on different cores/processor. However, NT6.5 is not optimized to make full usage of a multi-core/ multi-processor hardware.

NT7 will come with optimized multi core/multi-processor support. This would allow you to make full usage of a multi-core/ multi-processor hardware.

However, due to the nature of the Window OS, NT7 would not be able to fully use all available multi-cores/multi-processors at any given time.
