Actions Modified

report suitability

Description

Use the number-of-processors action-option to specify the CPU count for a Suitability report, selecting a value within the range that you want to model. For example, if you expect to support up to 16 processor cores, you could create a series of Suitability reports from the same result, specifying 4, 16 and 128 processors to compare estimated performance gains between these platforms.

Tip

The CPU count value specified here cannot exceed the Maximum CPU Count set in Options.

This option is used only with -report suitability.

Example

Create a Suitability report for a 64-core system where the number of processors to evaluate is set at the maximum - all 64 cores.

$ advixe-cl -report suitability -number-of-processors 64 –project-dir ./advi
