Hi,

I'm running a program to estimate a lot of ARMA models to record some statistics like aic, sic, hq, etc. The problem is, however, that it take a very very long time to go through all the models. I have noticed that when eviews is running the program it only uses 25% of the CPU. Is there a way to increase the CPU usage and should I be cautious when doing so?

Many thanks!

It isn't really using 25% of your CPU. Rather it is using 100% of one of the cores on your 4-core CPU. It would be massively inefficient for EViews to use more than 1 core for the type of estimation you are doing. Thus there isn't anything you can do to get it to use 4-cores. Unfortunately EViews does not offer a way to multi-thread an EViews program, so you cannot estimate the different models simultaneously.

However, you could start up two separate EViews sessions and run models in each. Might help some.

Thanks.
