Hello
I am running ADS 2004A on a Win XP Pro machine with a Pentium IV 3 GHz HyperThreading Processor. In the Windows Task Manager, I observe that the Momentum MomEngine.exe never has more than 50 percent CPU usage. The remaining CPU capacity is used by the System Idle Process. Why is this? Can I allocate more CPU usage to Momentum to speed up simulations? I tried to set the priority of the Momentum process to "high" but nothing changed.

Don't know about your CPU if it is a dual core or not, or if Intel Hyperthreading makes it to look like two CPU's by Windows.

The right answer to my knowledge is that the hyperthreading is useless if the program is not written properly to use this resource.
The other connected to this subject is a question how effectively a double-core CPU uses EM simulator?
