I have Stata MP 2-core running on a laptop with 2.20GHz dual core cpu. When I run 2 do files my cpu usage gets to about 80% so I try not to run more than 3 do files at a time. However, three do files running 24/7 is not cutting it. I need to double or possibly triple my computing capacity which made me start thinking about running stata on a server. So, if I run Stata on a server with two cpus of the kind I have on my laptop, does that mean I can the run 6 do files and if I install 4 cpus on the server I can run 12 files, basically quadrupling my production? I know nothing about servers but I do know that getting a second laptop and another Stata MP is probably not the way to go. Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks
