AB does not TODAY make use of multiprocessors or even multi cores.
However, TJ stated awhile back that this would be available in the
not too distant future. At the time he was pointing at the end of
1st quarter '06 but pushed that off ...
As far as when it will be available ... TJ ? ...
As far as how it would work ? ... same source.
IO is already capable of using multiple MACHINES as opposed to
multiple processors and/or cores in a single machine to perform AB
exhaustive search or its own intelligent search processes.

In other words, how much is really coming out of the extra
processing power ? Multiple processors means for me simultaneous
processing. This is not just a hardware but a software task. Is
AmiBroker taking advantage of these features ? I just do not see how
this can be done ...
