Is it possible to run multiple LTspice simulations simultaneously? These co mputers have multiple processors and I don't know how optimized for paralle l processing LTspice is. I wonder if there would be much of a penalty for r unning two simulations at the same time.
Sure, works fine. The control panel lets you set the maximum number of threads that the engine will use.

The Engine Max threads and the Run and Stop simulation commands are greyed out for me in the second schematic. I guess I need to set this up before I start the simulation. I'll try it once my first simulation stops.
Dunno. I'm on a Linux box at the moment. I did try running two copies of LTspice on Win 7 32-bit, but didn't get as far as running two simulations at once, since my Linux box is so much faster.

It's a Supermicro 16-core Opteron Magny Cours box with 4TB of hardware RAID-5 and 32 gig of memory. I bought it a couple of years ago to do simulations on, and it flies. The exact model number is on my equipment page,

I paid $3.8k-ish for it, iirc. I had it built by a reseller called Alvio, who are a pretty good bunch. Call Alexander and tell him I said "Hi".
