CPU usage

Question

Analyzing the CPU usage, we noticed that just one of the CPU cores is predominantly used while assets are being inserted in node, and others are running on <10%. Is it possible to make some optimizations, to make insertion asynchronous so more cores would be utilised fully and performance enhanced? I attached screenshot of a typical moment in time: http://imgur.com/JjT6HBs.

Answer 1

MultiChain is not yet optimized to parallelize all processes across multiple CPUs, although the key network-level bottleneck, signature verification, does take advantage of multiple cores.
