Hi All,
Is there any way /any setting - by which we can dictate how many cores will be utilized by TM1 servers?
For example - we have a machine - which has 24 CPU cores. OS is Windows 2008 R2, 64 bit Enterprise server. Can we make TM1 use only 16 cores out of available 24 cores by some setting?
I understand the parameter "MaximumCubeLoadThreads" in tm1s.cfg is used to make the TM1 server loading multi-threaded. Is it used just for server loading purpose - or it also dictates the number of CPU cores to be used when server is loaded - when I run a heavy TI process / or say 100 concurrent users fire query on the server?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards.

I know you can do this on Nix but that's a feature of Unix not Windows. Unix is much better at managing resources. I can't say for certain that there is no way of doing this on windows as I've not tried it but I doubt it's easy to do, if you can at all,

Run it as a virtual machine and limit the cores using the vm settings?

Good plan. That's one way of doing it.

Search "Windows processor affinity". You can assign specific processors to an instance of TM1 before or after it has been launched.

Re: How to make TM1 server use lesser number of cores than a
I could be wrong but I assume the OP is trying to limit the number of cores for licensing purposes ( ie reducing the PVU count) ? If so, I wonder if this method would be accepted by IBM (with or without the IBM license monitoring tool)TableManagerOne wrote:Search "Windows processor affinity".

I'm pretty sure the answer to that would be a resounding no.stephen waters wrote:If so, I wonder if this method would be accepted by IBM (with or without the IBM license monitoring tool)

@Stephens : Yes you are absolutely right - I am trying to do it for licensing compliance purpose - reducing PVU count. So, process affinity setting, wont work.
@ All : Thanks a lot. Looks like, I can safely conclude - Its a no, It can't be managed in TM1. Either it has to be managed in OS Level (UNIX) or using a VM ware.
