New VM Question

Kirk Fraser
Does the new VM support multiple processors?  I was thinking of an 8 core.  What happens?  Does the image get split by 8 automatically or does one need to start 8 images to fully utilize the processor?  Or would it be best to just use an old one core computer?
 
Is there a tutorial on using sockets to communicate between cores and/or internet separated computers?  
 
Thanks,
Kirk Fraser

Hi Kirk,
the Cog VM does not use multiple cores. If you want to use multiple
cores with one VM, there is the Roar
VM[https://github.com/smarr/RoarVM]. But I don't know whether that is
stable, yet.
With the other VMs, you would have to use multiple vm-instances.
Best,
Lars Wassermann
