[Asterisk-Users] RE: [on-asterisk] Brainstorming dual-core and Asterisk

[John Cianfarani]

I believe you can assign processors in vmware, and xen as well.
So you could probably do something funky like that to try to reduce
load.
The only thing that probably becomes difficult is trying to manage
physical hardware between virtual machines.

Subject: [on-asterisk] Brainstorming dual-core and Asterisk

Let me run something that's been floating about in my noggin by
everyone:

Given that Asterisk does not make use of dual core CPUs or dual
processors,
I was contemplating whether running Asterisk in two (or more) VMWare
sessions on a system might actually allow for more total performance.
For
example, set up one VM to handle incoming lines, echo cancellation and
all
sets, and then set up the other VM to handle VoIP, including
transcoding.

A bit kludgy, to be sure, but would VMWare allow for both cores/CPUs to
be
more fully utilized?

Very possibly not practical, but it's been floating about my head for a
bit
and I figured I'd send it out into the ether to see what thoughts might
come
back.

So . . . thoughts?

Jim.
