Windows 2000 Performance Guide: Help for Administrators and Application Developers - Multiprocessing
Overview Multiprocessing technology lets the user harness the power of multiple microprocessors running a single copy of the Windows 2000 operating system. Enterprise-class server models with multiple CPUs abound. When is a two- or four-way multiprocessor solution a good answer for the processing needs? How much better performance should the user expect from a server with multiple engines? What sorts of workloads lend themselves to multiprocessing? These are difficult questions to answer, but this paper tries to tackle them here. For even bigger problems, the user might even want to consider more exotic solutions where multiple multiprocessors are clustered to work together in parallel to power the web site, for example. However, clustered Windows 2000 solutions are beyond the scope of this paper.
