NAME

DsInitialize − Initialize Dor´
e

SYNOPSIS

C:

void DsInitialize(processors)
DtInt processors;

FORTRAN:

CALL DSINIT(PROS)
INTEGER∗4 PROS

DESCRIPTION

DsInitialize initializes the Dor´
e system. This must be the first Dor´
e  call made by an application. Successive calls to this function are ignored unless preceded by a call to DsTerminate <DSTERM>. 

The processors parameter specifies the multiprocessor usage of this run of Doré.  The allowable values are:

0use only one processor
positive numberrun in multiprocessor mode, with the specified
number of processors

Note that a value of 1 tells Doré to run in a multiprocessor mode, but with only one processor.  This mode is useful for debugging purposes, but is generally less efficient than specifying 0 (true uniprocessor operation).
