RosBE Questions

[Pi_User5]

I was wondering if RosBE for Windows uses all the CPU cores by default for NINJA. I know CMAKE can use a parameter to use more than one core. Also, what would be faster at compiling: 1.6GHz dual core or a 1.4GHz quad core. Thanks!

Yes, RosBE uses all CPU cores when building - I confirm it can use at least 8 vcores for parallel build.
As for the CPUs... if the two CPUs were the same clock-for-clock, 2x1.6 would be slower than 4x1.4 if simply counted arithmetically. In case the architectures differ, direct comparison is hard.

Thanks! The quad core computer was 32bit and had 1GB of RAM and was an Acer Aspire One. The dual core is 64bit with 2.5GB of RAM and is a Compaq nx6325.
