One of my friends owns and operates a web hosting company. He uses some substantial hardware, and has his myth cluster in the rack beside his web hosting machines.
One of his web servers, a 8-cpu, dual-core (yes, that's 16 CPU's) Operton server now helps with commerical flagging at night (when web duties are very light) but even with that much horsepower, it's only flagging a single program per CPU. And a seriously doubt he'll ever have 16 programs to flag all at once. He's asked me, and now I humbly ask thee, oh great and powerful developers..... How difficult, has there been any thought/work/etc, into making mythcommflag multi-threaded? Something like a command-line for number of threads, etc, would allow it to even be tested on single cpu machines. With the growing popularity of Pentium-D's and AMD x2's, being able to commflag in half or even 60% of the time would be beneficial and appreciated. Now obviously it would benefit those with access to XX CPU machines more than others, but most of us don't have a datacenter in our garage. :) And, is anyone aware of a multi-core happy version of ffmpeg? that would help transcoding happen more-better-quicker as well. In fact, it should be theoretically possible to both comm-flag and transcode in next-to-real-time on the server above, according to my paper-napkin math. _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
