[jade-develop] Is Jade multi-core

[krishna rangaiah]

Hi All,

We have a platform built using Jade, and as and when we start loading
agents one by one the performance of the Existing Agents getting decreased
and surprisingly just two or three cores are used to maximum on my 8-core
Machine. We wanted to confirm whether Jade is Multi-Core?

Thanks in advance.

Krishna:

Have a look around pages 10 and 11 of the JADE Programming Tutorial for Beginners and also at the API documentation for jade.core.behaviours. Typically, each agent has a dedicated thread, which works really well in general. But as you can see in the API documentation I referenced, you are not absolutely limited to one thread per agent. I think it is up to your JVM environment how many and which cores are available to run threads on.

Best regards,
Dale Visser

Hi,

In addition to what Dale said, if a single JVM is not able to fully exploit your cores (this is related to Java, not to Jade), you can create more than one container (more JVMs) in the same host. and distribute your agents on them.

Bye,

Giovanni
