Hi All,
I am trying to optimize the core options for my system. It is an 8 year
old laptop with 8Gig RAM and 500 GB SSD.
GeForce GT 525M/PCIe/SSE2 (apparently too slow).
Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz × 8 (sandy bridge 4 cores 8 threads
if I am not mistaken).
Ubuntu 16.04 / DT 2.6.2
I read https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/core_options.html
The memory settings are displayed in minimalistic approach
My (current) settings are
1. thumbnail cache 3096 (I tried with lower values but looks like it
impacts lighttable more than I would like to) - I do have the back end
disk cache enabled.
2. number of background threads 16 (I used 8 for a long time but didn't
observe ill effect for now by increasing the value)
3. host memory limit for tiling 2500
4. minimum amount of memory for single buffer tiling 48 (I kept this to
16 for a long time but it looks like increasing the limit is beneficial
- not sure if I am doing the right thing here).
What do you use (or what would you use if you were in my situation)?
Again - this is an older machine and I know that it is having a
challenge. I am simply trying to set it to the best I could. When I use
DT normally I turn off all other programs except system monitor so I can
keep an eye on the memory usage.
Thank you in advance...
B
