Indigo Renderer Forum

Hey yall... I'd like to know how to hyper thread render... You supose to add a -t in your xml file right..... But where are you supose to put it?? Cud some1 post up an example code showing how and where to place the -t.


Thanks

The '-t' should go on the command line, like this:
... where 'scene.xml' is the scene to render.

You can also change the default setting in infile.txt:

oh my bad... i thought ur supose to add -t in the xml file... haha.. i must have miss read the topic about that...




Thanks ryjo

you also can edit the 'inifile.txt' file where it says
"num_threads" "1"
to "num_threads" "2"

My experience with my 2.4 Prescott HT was that using dual threads wasn't very useful (+5-10% Mutations per second, but Deathly killed other processes). My new C2D is a very different animal (+90-100% M.P.S., Hampering computer use)

A good way to start indigo is to use
This works on Win XP. It will put the indigo process in a lower scheduling class ("below normal") so the pc doesn't run so slowly for other processes.

Prescott cores haven't always been dual core. Also, hyper threading itself doesn't mean dual core - it provides two logical cores. Though, if you have a dual core with hyper-threading, you could use 4 threads!

That might explain the performance difference.
