Using Parallele Processing using FME Server

Hi there,

This is a question of a general nature. I understand that parallel processing is making use of the CPU's cores to process certain grouped data. However, since the FME engines are running/licensed each based on the existing cores in the server's CPU; would the processed workspace consume an additional engine?

 

Thanks.

To illustrate what @david_r said:

All done on a FME Clould 2017 Starter instance (2 engines)

Job 752 is without parallel processing, 753 and 754 are run simultaneously with Moderate parallel processing, 755 is run by itself, also with Moderate parallel processing.

The fact I was able to start 754 while 753 was already running indicates it (753) didn't grab that additional engine.

Parallell processing does not use additional engines, it will only create multiple child processes within each engine thread.

Thanks for the confirmation Hans @redgeographics
