Assigning CPU Priorities

Access the preferences on the Genie Server (Mac: Genie Server > Preferences Win: Edit > Preferences)

In the Application theme, click on CPU Priorities as displayed below:

cpu

The middle slider allows you to specify the percentage of CPU cycles used by 4D Server (Genie Server). The default midline position gives 4D Server 20% of CPU cycles, and leaves 80% for the operating system and other applications.

However, if Genie Server is the only application running on your server computer, moving this slide to the right gives Genie Server 80% of cycles, leaving 20% for the operating system. This may result in better performance but it could equally make it worse. If you change this setting, ensure that you monitor the impact on performance and return it to the middle position if it causes the server machine to run more slowly or use too much processor.

Note:

•	If you have other applications running on the server, or if you have 2 or more copies of Genie Server running separate databases, then you should leave this slider in the midline.

•	Changes made will not take effect until the server machine is rebooted.
