Multi core processors

[GeoffC]

I have an EViews program I run frequently which takes about 10 minutes to execute. I'm running on a PC with an Intel I5 processor chip which has two cores and supports four threads. When my program is running the cpu is only about 25% utilised, which I presume means that EViews is only using one of the threads.

Is there any way to get EViews to use more than one thread?

Thanks

You can't multi-thread an EViews program per se, but most of EViews' internal routines are multi-thread capable. However, EViews will only switch to using multiple threads when it is advantageous to do so. It is possible that you have turned multi-threading off on your copy (Options->General Options->Advanced System Options), however it is more likely that the internal routines you're using would not benefit from switching to multi-threading (i.e. they'd run slower).
