I am rather interested in how you determined that this program
(it is a program, right?) needs an eight-core CPU.
[snip]
It's Java, albeit pretty horrible Java - Exceptions are quietly swallowed,
Good news. Then it's on topic.
everything is public, no comments, and the parts of the program I looked at
look like one giant race condition, where bugs are treated with the good
old "sleep and retry in a moment" method.
I could also find no indication that this program would need a special kind
of CPU, other than it spawning 16 ThreadS. My best guess is that this is a
port of a C program by someone who doesn't understand Java very well yet,
and probably never programmed for a living.
So let's punt back to the OP: What would you like from us with regard to
your post?
Are you looking for comments? Advice?
Yes, I would like some comments :)
Be careful what you wish for.
The reason, why I said it needs an 8-core, is such that it renders in
realtime.
How did you relate that to number of cores?
Your code needs an awful lot of work. You've got source that does nothing, Swing GUIs
started off the EDT, non-conventional variable names and indentation, and the issues Joerg
mentioned.
Check out the Java online tutorials at oracle.com and snoop around there for the Java
coding conventions.

Thank you for responding to our questions.
