We are trying to run an application on a multicore platform (DELL PowerEdge 2900, 2x quad-core 1,86GHz), but our application utilizes only one core. Is there a way to utilize multiple cores or it can only run on one core? We are going to connect about 20 clients to the server using Terminal Client connection and we expect a perfomance degradation when all 20 clients connect and run our application on only one core. I forgot to mention that the operating system is Windows 2003 standard edition.
Thanks in advance.

Best regards!

Dear Mr.Boris,

As far as I know, a single-threaded application can generally utilize only one execution core on a multi-core processor. In order to take advantage of multiple cores, you have to introduce multi-threading into your code. I may be wrong.
