| Have a Internet content provider with C++ app written for NT4.0 named pipes.
The application running on Alpha 4100, runs 17% slower on 2 cpus than on a
single cpu. The ASAP group confirmed this and also showed that as we add
CPUs, our throughput measured in resolutions/sec is further degraded. The
same thing happens on an Intel machine. Our field engineers have confirmed we
are on the latest firmware releases and HAL so we are down to determining if
the application is written wrong for SMP or there is a bug in NT (hmm?)
Anyone willing to take a shot at this? We need someone who knows how to write
C++ for SMP to help or tell us where we are wrong. Ten 4100s are riding on
this versus our friends at Sun.
Cross-posted in Windows-NT and NT-Developers.
Thanks for any help/suggestions,
