The Windows 98/SE/ME Multi-Core SDK provides a Drive and a Visual C++ OBJ
File to support the creation of Programs able to use Multiple Core CPUs
and/or Multiple Processors to improve performance or reduce System load.



REQUIREMENTS

Windows 98, 98SE or ME.
Multiple Core CPU and/or Multiple CPUs.

This Demonstraction Package uses a limited single usage version of my
Multi-Core Driver and Subroutines. You will need to reboot your Computer
after each usage of the Driver.



INSTALLATION:

Copy the DEMOCORE.VXD to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM Folder.
Add the following line to the [386Enh] Section in your SYSTEM.INI File:

DEVICE=DEMOCORE.VXD

Place all of the other files into a single folder, preferably on a Hard Drive
that supports DMA.



DEMO:

The Demo Program loads a Subroutine into the first free Core that simply
increments a variable by one as fast as it can.
The Main Code prints out this variable approximately once per Second.
The program will run until it is aborted by pressing CTRL-C.
Refer to the Source Code DEMO.CPP to see how this is coded.

If you have more than two Cores, you can run the Demo in multiple cores by
opening additional instances of the Program. They must run simultaneously as
you will be unable to run the Program after any instance is closed.

You can verify that the Demo is not using the Main Core by running the
SYSTEM MONITOR Program and checking CPU Usage.

To rerun the Demo or go to the Math Demo, you will need to Reboot.



MATH DEMO:

The Math Demo sets up and then solves a large set of Simultaneous Equations
using a High Precision Math Package. The Demo Script sets up 512 Simultaneous
Equations and used 2048 Bit Precision Math. The Program will use all
available cores to do this computation.

You will need approx 40MB of Hard Disk Space for the temporary files created
by this Demo with the given settings.

The script runs the Program twice. The first time all cores will be used.
The second time the Core Driver is disabled so the Program only uses one core.
The Program prints out the time of the first and last passes so you can
compare the performance with one core and multiple cores.

To rerun the Demo or go to the Basic Demo, you will need to Reboot.
