Maple 11 Enable Multithreading

Question

How to enable multithreading in Maple 11 ? I can't find this thing in preferences. kernelopts(multithreaded); - gives me false, how to set it true? Thanx

Answer 1

If you are launching the commandline interface of Maple 11 then you should be able to use the -M option.

Eg, on Linux, say,

$ maple -M
   |\^/|     Maple 11 (X86 64 LINUX)

                                 true

This does not seem to work if the GUI is launched similarly, ie. via maple -x -M at the commandline.

I recall that on MS-Windows the launch icon for the GUI brings up a dialogue window that asks whether to start with the serial or parallel kernel.

Which platform are you on, and which interface are you trying to run?

[edited] In the Standard GUI, multithreading in the Maple kernel is enabled by the checkbox "Enable SMP support" in the preferences dialogue window opened by the main menubar Tools -> Options -> General
