Mathematica 7 multi-core results
Wolfram and our Systems Administrator has been so kind as to give me an 8-core Mathematica 7 license, so the least I could do was to benchmark it.
A very interesting result is that linearity as you add more CPU’s seem to be quite good, only when you activate the last available core, you see a performance drop. This is naturally explained by the fact the the system needs to run other processes then just Mathematica Kernels.
