Numsgil:
There's nothing to let a CPU rest in DB, so a single instance should let a single processor go to 100%.  Mind you that doesn't mean the processor is actually working at it's full potential.  The system measures how busy the processor is by how much time the idle windows process gets to run.  A program could "busy wait", that is, do nothing but take it's full time at the processor doing it, and use 100% of the processor.

EricL:
Also, if a thread does block for awhile, Windows will try to reschedule that thread on the same processor it came off last on the presumption that the L2 cache is still useful.  

So, bottom line, if you only have 1 processor's worth of work going on, it is not unexpected that you should see most of it on one processor while the other does little, particularly as Nums says, when the majority of that work is in a seldom blockng single threaded app like DB.  

If you run two DB instances on the otherhand, than you should see both processors working hard.

Henk:
Hi all,

This new internet feature is really cool! gratz EricL!

The coolest thing just happened. I had just started DB, and had forgotten to set any simulation costs. So out of nowhere (well, from the teleport actually  ) came a blob of 'multiply3(peter)' bots, who (ab)used my no-cost environment to reproduce like lunatics!
then they teleported all over the place, just in time (before I activated costs again)

That's so cool!

 

Peter:
I just want to say that the multiply you probably encoutered probably where multiply that have evolved for a month in different sims, I have introduced them a month ago. They have over all those time kept some of the enourmous multiplying. They will probably do it too with more costs but somewhat slower. With that fast reproducing you'd probably had the pretty fast moving one. That one is perfect in no cost suroundings.

I could be someone else intrduced multiply again ofcourse(maybe it isn't a month old), I am not that sure.

With the fast moving one, I mean there are different subspecies.
As I have looked, I found out there are multiple types of multiply one that is shooting far too often and moving as fast as possible, the funny ones. (it's just a little creepy how much they still look like there ancesters). The where meant to not care about efficientcy and just multiply
And on the other side some that are more dull and cheapskates at energie, huh(dumb) an veggie let's go towards it and shoot, but not too fast or else I am losing nrg.
Some tie forming ones, probably taking profit of the teleporter. Moving in as one giant blob. Also a powerfull tactic. This have I too generally seen at most types of bots sometimes. Using ties to come further.

He, I see shimazu coming in my sim. Differsity going up. Let's see if it can beat up multiply.

You're right this internet mode is cool  .
And there will be happening even more cool stuff.

And a question about bots coming in out,
Is there a way to get less bots to be taken away with the teleporter?

The bots don't really care but as I look on the in/out ratio I cannot believe alle bots are being departed. And probably staying in the out folder. Is there a way.
I don't really have a problem with it, most bots are after awile transferred back, and that brings me on question two
The bots that are transferred in from your own sim, are those the bots that are in the out folder the longest ?

That would mean then that the new bots would every time be chalenged by bots that have been frozen by time. old vs new all the time and that would probably mean you're pretty sure of bad mutations being taken out fast even if they take over a sim. And that is good by my idea.

And Henk are you from the Netherlands too, I see Henk and I am thinking dutch.

Henk:
Shimazu is my first bot. I posted it like... I don't know... 2 or 3 years ago, back in the days when we had the old forum and PY was still doing the programming... *nostalgic*

But yeah, I'm breeding it in my own sim. I hope it will someday be able to survive in another one, and that my population will be able to withstand the invasions of the other bots. How is Shimazu doing in you sim, Peter?

And I am dutch  (Enschede)
