Default Multiprocessor

What is the purpose of the multiprocessor? I purchased the ebook for my class, and so far it doesn't describe it well. Do the multiprocessor perform work on 2+ items at a time or is it for performing multiple tasks on 1 item?


Also, it there a tutorial on setting up and working with the basic conveyor?

Thank you.

the Second is right. A multiprocessor perform several tasks one after another.
If you set a higher capacity or content on a simple processor more items are processed.

Hello Joe,
You will find some sample models in the download section. Or you can search the forum. But the basic conveyor is not a simple conveyor. It is a special object on which you can set more parameters than on a conveyor or merge sort conveyor. It is an object to develop a special behavior.

Edit: please look at the post from David
