Re: st: multiple Stata jobs on Windows
Bulent,
I'm not sure what you're asking. It's certainly *possible* to run
multiple instances of Stata under Windows. You can launch it as many
times as you want. I've never noticed any problems resulting from doing
so. If you're asking about whether Stata does its own record and/or file
locking to protect against one instance of the program modifying a file
that another instance is also reading or modifying, I think the answer
is "no". If your programs are careful to stay out of each others' way,
I don't think there would be a problem. (One question I have is whether
you can count on multiple instances of Stata not creating temporary
files of the same name.) As for the "optimum" number of jobs, I suspect
that depends entirely on your purpose, your system, and how disk or cpu
intensive your jobs are.

Dear Stata Users,
I was wondering if it would be possible/feasible to run multiple Stata
jobs by using the Windows version. I have a machine with the following
properties:
Inter Xeon CPU, E5430, 2.66 GHz, 16 GB RAM
Can I launch, say 8 Stata sessions at the same time? If this is
possible, how can I understand the optimum number of jobs possible to
run without getting stuck? Thank you for any help.
