If I have computers that are multicore (some dual some quad), is there a way to safely run multiple instances of the RoboRumble client without causing skipped turns? Would I need to set the affinity of each instance to separate CPUs? I'm a bit new to this, and my parallel computing class doesn't start until the Fall. =) --[[User:Bwbaugh|bwbaugh]] 10:05, 8 June 2011 (UTC) | If I have computers that are multicore (some dual some quad), is there a way to safely run multiple instances of the RoboRumble client without causing skipped turns?

| + | Welcome to the wiki, glad you are contributing to the rumble =) If you're worried about causing skipped turns first open up robocode and reset the CPU constant, then close robocode and open up the config/robocode.properties file with notepad. Manually increase the CPU constant there to something you feel would account for anything like cache thrashing, possible external logins etc (I'd say just double it...) and save the file. Make sure you run each instance of roborumble from a different install, otherwise there will be issues with all of them saving to or uploading from the same file concurrently.

RoboRumble
Question: Number of Client Instances
If I have computers that are multicore (some dual some quad), is there a way to safely run multiple instances of the RoboRumble client without causing skipped turns? Would I need to set the affinity of each instance to separate CPUs? I'm a bit new to this, and my parallel computing class doesn't start until the Fall. =) --bwbaugh 10:05, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
