Does Rhino 5 use all six cores on six core processors? For example the Intel X79 chipset? Is it worth getting a six core processor for Rhino?

Oh ok. Thanks for quick response. I have one more question then I’m through for now. I have notices Rhino is extremely Memory thirsty. What exactly is Rhino doing with the memory?

Holomark2 used all six cores on my computer for quite a few of it’s tests. This is, of course primarily a display tester but the CPU has to be used to support the rendering. Also: I think that John’s explanation was over-simplified. While it should be obvious to most that even with just one process…

All true. I’ve been in Tech support for 25 years. Sometimes a little inaccuracy can save tons of explanation. We are working on ways to use multi-threading when possible and it will help in some specific situations to some limited degree. It will never deliver the expectations of users. For the …

Some scientist may disagree with you. But I understand you.

[image] John_Brock: It will never deliver the expectations of users. Sure it will. After the users adjust their expectations to reality. :smile: [image] John_Brock: The normal gestation period of a human baby is 9 months. You can’t wire up 9 women for parallel processing and get a full t…

Sort of. For many years, computer chips were getting faster and faster AND less expensive. They’ve hit a technological performance limit and have tried to pass off multiple cores as being the same thing. It’s not. Some applications and processes can benefit hugely from multiple cores while others …

If you do a lot of rendering, and I do, then I would also add: During a rendering, every CPU and core (including hyper-threading) will be used, including those on a network. The new V-Ray 2.0 has a RT/Real-Time render feature, where it can also use the video GPU. These RT previews can then be sa…

Good explanation John, but you could multi-thread a single operation, just rhino hasn’t done it, AFAIK. The MOI mesher for example uses all your available cores to mesh a model. It’s unbelievably fast in a multi-core machine. …Someday? G

Yes, I think I heard that meshing is one of the candidates Steve is looking at for multi-threading. It would probably be done in conjunction with writing a new mesher instead of trying to modify the current one.
