Abstract
In this study, the performance tests for single and dual micro processor configurations are performed to investigate how the accelerated OpenGL components and applications are dependent on processor configurations. At present, many major providers of the engineering graphics workstations have recommended that multiprocessors are better than single processor. However, we confirmed that the single processor configuration is more faster and more effective than competitive configurations and suggested the economic method to improve the performance of the engineering graphics workstations.
