Hello,
I have ise 12.4 isntalled on my e5400 computer (duall core), and i dont have an -MP switch when i enter process properties (for example, implemetation process)
what can be done?

Looks like the multi-threading is not available for all device families. My snapshot was from a Virtex6 design. Just checked when I changed the target device to a Spartan3E, the multi-threading option is not there on the Map Properties.

Demand that Xilinx finally do multi-processor versions of their tools.

Great idea. What other things should we demand?

It's already in the tool under multithreading (see the snapshot below). The actual speed-up varies for different designs.

Jim,
This is exactly what i was talking abput - i dont have this switch (-mt) although i DO HAVE a multi processor computer E5400.. my college has the same computer, the same version of ise and he DOES have this switch... i am really confused?

Most of the Xilinx apps folks are sleeping - it's the dead of night. So I'll try an answer :)
I'm running ISE 12.4 on a Vista x64 machine with 8GB of DRAM. Both 32bit and 64bit ISE Navigator show the MAP process multi-thread switch.
The OS and the DRAM complement might have something to do with enabling or disabling the MAP multi-thread switch. By the way, you won't see this switch unless you have selected/highlighted the MAP process in the PROCESSES pane, then select in the command toolbar Process > Process Properties.

Assuming you're on the Map Properties window, right above the "OK"/"Cancel" buttons, there is a dropdown list called "Property Display Level". Change it to "Advanced" and you will see the Multi-threading option.

Oh,
thats explains everything.. my desing is of spartan3adsp and my college is of virtex -5
very strange whough, why it is not supported for all devices
Thank you all

Just a guess on my part....
ISE navigator is a 'shell', and behind the shell are completely different SW modules for MAP:

Sounds logical... wht bother make a new code for old devices..
