Summary: Dual-core not being correctly supported Product: Wine Version: 0.9.22. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-kernel AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: agustin@nucleosys.com
I'm running Wine on Ubuntu Dapper with an AMD X2 Dual Core. The Linux kernel is 2.6.15-27-amd64-generic SMP, so both cores are correctly detected and made use of (I can confirm this with System Monitor).
While Wine itself does seem to make use of the second processor, the emulated application does not. I can be certain of this because the program I'm trying to run is a rendering application (Cinema 4D) and I can only see one rendering thread, whereas two were seen on Windows with the same hardware. I have been told that perhaps Wine is not correctly informing the emulated application of the existing hadware.
I have submitted this bug as "major" because this is seriously impacting on the performace of the application. This probably extends to other similar multi-threaded applications as well.
