Subject: Re: Parallelize Findbugs search?

yes, this would be a good thing.

All the computers I run FindBugs on are multicore or multiprocessor.

But BCEL isn't thread safe, and a number of bits of FindBugs weren't designed to be thread safe.

I hope to do this sometime soon, but it might not be until this summer.

Hi all,

I've just asked myself why findbugs uses only one CPU core if running on multicore systems? I saw in my process monitor that one core sleeps and another one was 100% loaded.

Many users have 2x core systems already. E.g. in our lab we have ~50% multicore systems now, next year probably all 100% of workstations, and then we expect to see 4x core workstations soon.

Unlike compiler, findbugs does not really requires *sequentual* analysis, so are there any plans to parallelize bug search task? I could help with Eclipse integration of this feature, if it is needed.
