Parallel processes in Optimizer profile

[former_member503200]

With or with out parallel processors in SNP optimizer profile, we are not seeing any difference in run time.  We tried multiple locations and we the same run time for both.  We used all the slots defined in /SAPAPO/VS_OPT2 and still no luck.  Did any body come across the same problem.

We are in SCM 7.2 SP 6

thx

Hi,

When running the SNP optimizer in parallel mode, you will not see parallel processes. Instead, the optimizer would try to separate your scenario into several independent sub models and would optimize each in a separate thread (not process). Therefore, a performance increase is not necessarily guaranteed when using parallel processing profile. Only if the scenario is well decomposable it might be solved faster than in non-parallel mode.
