Hi all,

I am running some simulation on VMware on Ubuntu 12,

the simulation takes a really long time,

back to my host OS(Windows 7) I see the cpu utilization of vmware-vmx is 25% only,

How can I change my setting so I can increase the utilization of vmware-vmx,

I wish I can run my simulation more faster.

Best regards,
Danny

Then the VM is waiting for something most of the time. In most cases it
waits for disk access, caused by swapping in the physical or virtual
machine. How high is the disk usage?

Make sure that your VM has *less* RAM than your physical machine has,
else parts of the virtual RAM resides in the swapfile. OTOH virtual RAM
should be so high that your application doesn't cause swapping in the
guest system.
