processor choice

From: Bill Knebel billk@metrumrg.com Subject: [NMusers] processor choice Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 16:18:41 -0500 A few years ago there was a thread about benchmarking results for NONMEM across a number of different processors and systems ( http://cognigencorp.com/nonmem/nm/98apr292002.html). Given the relatively recent release of dual core processors I wanted to know if anybody has compared NONMEM runs on a dual processor machine to NONMEM runs on a dual core CPU. Assumming you were running two jobs simultaneously, I would be interested if anybody has seen any speed (runtime) increase or decrease with either setup.
