Re: Multiprocessor PC, NT, pcANYWHERE

From: Nick Holford <n.holford@auckland.ac.nz> Subject: Re: Multiprocessor PC, NT, pcANYWHERE Date: 23 Nov 1997 00:23:13 -0500 We have been running NONMEM with a dual pentium II 233 Mz PC under NT 4.0 (Watcom f77 v 10.6). We use the machine as a computation server and have 2 NONMEM jobs running simultaneously most of the time. We can control the machine using pcANYWHERE (we use v 8.0) with a TCP/IP connection directly from a machine on our LAN or with a 33.6 k modem via PPP. The dual pentium is a cost effective way to do computation because we only need one hard drive, one ethernet card, one video board etc. We do have 64 MB RAM while out single CPU machines (Win 95) have only 32 MB. With 2 NONMEM (v 5.0) jobs running on the dual pentium NT machine we still have about 15 MB of RAM free according to the task manager. -- Nick Holford, Dept Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacology University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand email:n.holford@auckland.ac.nz tel:+64(9)373-7599x6730 fax:373-7556 http://www.phm.auckland.ac.nz/Staff/NHolford/nholford.htm
