Building with VC 7.1 using 2 CPUs

Hi all,

I have a computer with 2 CPUs where I have to build a big project. I am
using WinXP and MS Visual Stuio .NET (VC++ 7.1).
When I'm building the project one of the CPU is completely taken, and
the other one is idleing.
Is there any way to force the compilation of the project on both of the
CPUs?
Thx in advance,
Viv

There isn't native support for this in VS.

However, there are add-on packages that allow you to do this. Saw an ad for
one in DDJ, but can't recall the name at the moment.

Or you could wait for Whidbey, which is supposed to have native support for
parallel builds.

Xeon hyperthreaded CPUs show up as two CPUs in the cpuinfo file. So a dual Xeon machine appears as a quad processor. In Windows, it's the same thing. A dual Xeon will have 4 CPU charts showing in the Task Manager cpu chart. Ok, then question.

I have been reading many of the posting on the GIL and impact on threading etc. I have found is confusing and would welcome some clarity on this. I understand that embedding the interpreter in a C/C++ application limits it to one CPU. If the application is multi-threaded (system threads) in will not use additional CPUs as the interpreter is tied to one CPU courtesy of the GIL. True or False?

One of the things I've spent the last several years working on is a highly scalable socket server written in C#. The SoapBox Server has recently been tested to well over 100k simultanous users.

I finally got around to writing a blog post that describes the different architectures we've gone through, and the pros and cons of each. All of...

I have been unsuccessful locating information about the maximum number of CPU's SQL Server 2005 Enterprise supports. However I did find info in a document about configuring a fail over cluster solution. It said 4 CPUs, but it is unclear how that works out with multi core processors. Is it 4 sockets? So with a quad core quad socket we could go have a 16 core system? BTW the chart shows the CPU count jumping to 64 CPU's under Server 2003...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
