Question on Multi processor

[Blue Fish]

Hello:

May I have idea how Windows work with Multi-Processor. Does the
application can use both CPU power or depends on the application? It was
because when Citrix application was launched. One of the CPU processor
performance is higher then the others.

Thanks!

Hey Blue Fish,

Citrrix is a special case and will not need to have an application be
multi-processor aware. This means that citrix can cload balance applications
across processors itself. If an app is multi-processor aware, it can get
complicated as it changes how citrix handles the app.

You may see processor differences, especially in the lower end versions of
citrix as their load balancing abilities are less and don't take into account
the same metrics.

Generally this isn't a problem.
