I’m not sure if this is might be of interest to this topic when it comes to GH components, BUT:

Multithread Boolean Difference - GHPhython with Trees retained

Hi All, I had a recent project that required a lot of Boolean Differences in Grasshopper - all on separate branches on a data tree. The standard SDiff component even a small sub-set of the final project was giving a run time of ‘life of the universe’. To speed things up I went looking for multithread examples of Sdiff and found: BWA C# example: Which then also lead me to djordje’s GHpython example: For some reason I could not get the C# version to work, but the Python one worked well i…

I rolled my own Multi Thread Boolean Difference component back in 2019 for a project.

In particular I had a requirement to keep the data trees retained thru the component.

With a LARGE number of Booleans required, a single run of the final version of this project took about 45min on a 3GHz quad core i7.

Cheers
