The Wolfram Language’s parallel computing suite does not necessarily benefit from hyper-threading, although certain kernel functionality will take advantage of it when it provides a speedup. You can find the number of processor cores available on your machine by evaluating $ProcessorCount. Wolfram Language has a suite of parallel computing tools to take advantage of multicore processors. This is important for vectorized machine arithmetic and numerical linear algebra ( BLAS, …) routines, which are fundamental building blocks for many computational tasks. The kernel uses highly optimized multithreaded libraries such as Intel MKL and IPP, which are tuned for optimal performance and take advantage of advanced CPU features when available. The largest gains in the Wolfram Language can be seen in functionality that takes advantage of multiple threads, such as various numerical computation functions, image processing functions or parallelized compiled functions. The actual performance improvements from a more powerful CPU also depend on the workload. This includes Wolfram products, other applications and the operating system itself. Central Processing Unit (CPU) General ComputingĪ more powerful CPU will generally give performance improvements everywhere in your system. Wolfram desktop products are optimized for their supported operating systems, so performance on each is also similar. The user interface is largely identical across these platforms, aside from differences arising as a result of the operating system’s design. The Wolfram Language is supported on recent releases of Windows, macOS and certain Linux distributions.
The best way to test the performance of a piece of code on a particular machine is to actually run the code on that machine. While the considerations of this article apply in general, it may be difficult to predict how Wolfram Language code will run on a particular machine. Here it is discussed how the major components of a computer usually influence how Wolfram products perform. You can use it through WolframScript or through Language Client Libraries.The process of deciding on which machine to buy or build can be overwhelming, given all the combinations of options available to consumers.
