Aside from that task, how does the VM behave? Is everything else running smooth and quick?
If you're running mathematical stuff, I have to wonder if the math co-processor doesn't run well, or at all in a virtual environment.
What do you think of this result? All 3 cores assigned.
Test1: 8GB. 8m34s to complete a task
Test2: 16GB, 9m11s
Test3: 24GB, 9m1s
Less RAM to VM is fastest? Does that mean Mac OS and Parallels need 24+GB ram to run effectively in this test?
About 15 years ago, it was generally agreed that Fusion was better at that time. I think it was more stable. As I recall, I tried both and also ended up with Fusion. If I recall correctly, Parallels offered big discounts for Fusion user to switch to Parallels. Over time, I think I heard Parallels became better. How about now?
Myprograms did lots of matrix computations.
Fusion and Parallels have free demos, so you can try if there is any difference.
I think Fusion was free in the past but starting few years ago, we have to pay.
Sorry for not being clear. Parallels and Fusion are paid.
I was referring to free evaluation trials.
