On the 64-bit version of Asprova, the following commands were extended to support multithreading.
  Assign/peg orders,
  Assign manufacturing orders,
  Assign time fix constrained operations,
  Assign result constrained operations,
  Time wise load leveling,
  Explode orders
On computers with multiple CPUs, multi-core CPU, and Hyper-Threading CPU, processing speed is faster.  For example, 4 million operations can be scheduled in 17 minutes (*1).  
Even when the schedule period is longer than a year or when the process is long such as in semiconductor production, schedules can be created within several tens of minutes to several hours.  Multithreading is available on the 64-bit version of Asprova.
*1 Measurement conditions:
  OS Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)
  CPU IntelR XeonR CPU X5690 @3.47GHz 3.46GHz, two processors (of which six threads are used),
  80GB RAM.
The measurement data characteristics are 3 resource candidates, no process merging or branching, with setup time and teardown time, 50 processes.
