Parallel Processing

[sdruley]

Goal: Run solver along with another separate subroutine in a parallel manner using Microsoft Excel.

One class of Parallel computing can be demonstrated in multi-core processing. It would seem that many of the computers being used today have more than one core. IBM's cell microprocessor that powers the Sony Playstation is a good example of a system that can issue simultaneous multiple instructions from one thread.
Having said that, will there ever be a time when I can run Solver along with another separate subroutine in a parallel manner?
This means, in a practical sense, that both computational instruction sets can be carried out, in parallel, without one interfering with the other.
To a user like me who has two fast computers, is there a way to jury-rig what I have to meet my goal short of using IBM's Blue Gene/P massively parallel computing system.

Hi sdruley and welcome to Tek-Tips.

Tek-Tips has MANY diverse forums. Unfortunately, you chose to post in the Microsoft Office forum, that addresses questions regarding the Microsoft Office Suite of applications.

You might want to use the SEARCH feature to look for a Windows, Linux or some other OS that you might be running that might address this issue or a particular programming language that you might be using.

Good luck!
