Hi all,
I'm running StataMP on a Windows server running XP. The computer has a Quad core processor, so 8 processors show up in the task manager (due to hyper threading, I believe).
However, if I run a command, such as bootstrap, Stata will only allocate 1 processor to do the job.
Here's an example that I tried:
set obs 100000
gen x1 = uniform()
gen x2 = uniform()
gen x3 = x1^2
gen x4 = x2^2
gen y = 3+4*x1+5*x2 + invnorm(uniform())
regres y x?
bootstrap _b[x1], reps(1000): regress y x?
The real model I'm trying to run is with -xtmelogit- that takes hours to run while only using 1 processor.
Also, the output from -creturn list-
. creturn list
...
c(born_date) = "02 Feb 2009"
c(flavor) = "IC"
c(SE) = 1
c(MP) = 1
c(processors) = 8 (Stata/MP, set processors)
c(processors_lic) = 8
c(processors_mach) = 8
c(processors_max) = 8
c(mode) = ""
c(console) = ""
...
Is there something specific I need to do to get Stata to use more processors? Thanks for your help.
