Why Zorro supports up to 72 cores?

Why Zorro supports up to 72 cores? - 03/23/24 21:41

As I indicate in the title, my question is why does Zorro only support up to 72 cores? The question is given that I want to purchase a Workstation with 128 or 192 Threads to perform optimizations or training.

Along with the previous question, I have the doubt of whether optimization with the genetic algorithm takes advantage of Multi Thread or is it only when WFO is used?
Is there a way to make Zorro use 192 Threads?
Maybe by running 2 instances with different optimizations you can take advantage of 144 Threads (72*2) or is this not correct?

Thank you.

Hi, correct me if I am wrong, but multiple cores are used mainly for WFO. If you don't use WFO, by default training will run on one core. I didn't try running 2 instances with different optimizations, but of course, each instance will utilize new core.You can also utilize more cores using techniques described in Zorro processes.

The new version supports more cores. But yes, they are for WFO only.
