<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I made a few tests for the utilization of dual core CPU under Windows 2000 with Erlang/OTP R11B5.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It seems that:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- if I start 2 CPU consuming erlang processes within the same Erlang node they use one core only</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- if I start those 2 processes in different Erlang nodes then both cores are used reducing the execution time to about 60%</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My question is if Vista or OTP R12 brings improvement so that Erlang processes in the same Erlang node would utilize both cores?</FONT></P>
