Will your climate prediction software run in smp mode?
I am using Linux 9 on a dual P3 machine and I would like the software to take advantage of both cpus, how can I make this happen?

In your preferences, it has one something like "On multiprocessor PCs, use at most X processors" where the default is 2. So, if your kernel is SMP enabled, then it should start two models when you install it.

Of course it would be great if CPDN/Boinc could be improved that the two CPUs share the work of *one* model. This yields many advantages.
