MonteCristo:
Ok, I remember Numsgil mentioned making a big server for DB, thinking why not make DB a BOINC project? People would connect their computers to to special server, and would share their PC power. That would be a supercomputer, and i would bet, DB would not only run real time, but also mabie faster, just an idea

Idea just popped up, DB doesnt support multiple cores?then why not run as many .exe as there are cores in your CPU, and then set each .exe to a different core? its that simple, or is there a deeper problem?

That's possible and some do it, with the sims combined with bot teleporters.

Seems like IM(Internet mode) to me, or do you mean something different?

MonteCristo:
BOINC combines thousands of PC into one giant web based supercomputer to run a certain task, e.g DB

MonteCristo:
Btw what is bot teleporter?

Botsareus:
First a point: DB2 (vb6 based) can not multi-thread. Therefor, you can not scale up the performance of a single simulation by adding more cores.

Teleporters (as the name implies) let you share robots between running simulations. The idea of IM is to be able to share robots across the internet with all other simulations connected through the internet therefor making one huge complex super simulation.
