Multi Core/Processor Support

Currently, Imaris has only limited support for multi core/processor machines. Only when two or more hard disks are assigned for storage of temporary files a second processor will be used for file-i/o. However a setup with multiple cores/processors can be very useful if you plan to run two Imaris in parallel or if you run deconvolution software on the same machine.
