My computer has a Pantium D dual-core process running Windows XP x64. I use the 32 bit Intel Fortran compiler 9 in MVD.net 2003. CanI do parallel computionusingthetwo CPUs in the dual corein this case? Does it work better if I run Windows XP x32 instead. All I care is the speed.
Thanks

Yes, you can use the two cores if your program is written to be multithreaded. You'll get better performance using the EM64T compiler but it should work ok with the IA-32 compiler.

Steve,
Thank you for the positve response.
I do have the EM64T compiler, but itdoes not work under the MVS.net 2003. Doyou have a beta version of the EM64T compiler thatcan run in MVS.net 2005?

Yes, we do. I will send you a beta invitation. Please note that this is as a courtesy as the beta is essentially closed and we are building the final release, to be made available in early May.
