DsInitializeSystem(3D)  —  Stardent Computer Inc. (\*(Dd)

NAME

DsInitializeSystem − Initialize Dor´
e

SYNOPSIS

C:

void DsInitializeSystem(processors)
DtInt processors;

Fortran:

CALL DSINIT(PROS)
INTEGER∗4 PROS

DESCRIPTION

DsInitializeSystem initializes the Dor´
e
system. This must be the first Dor´
e
  call made by an application. Successive calls to this function are ignored unless preceded by a call to DsTerminateSystem <DSTERM>. 

The processors parameter specifies the multiprocessor usage of this run of Doré.  The allowable values are:

0use only one processor
positive numberrun in multiprocessor mode, with the specified
number of processors

Note that a value of 1 tells Doré to run in a multiprocessor mode, but with only one processor.  This mode is useful for debugging purposes, but is generally less efficient than specifying 0 (true uniprocessor operation).
