Hi Garry,
Hi Tugkan,
Not sure if I missed one of your setup points or there is a setup out
there you are still seeking. We are running a setup now that is starting
to fit the smarter, smaller, faster and cheaper doctrine that we have
all seen coming for some time. I think it took longer than some expected
but seems to be gushing now.
I currently run three windows/rendersurfaces/cameras on one display.
Three of my cores (dual, dual core cpus) are ticking along with what I
assume is the load from the separate cull/draw paired threads (although
I am not doing any explicit 'runon' or anything like that - not on
Windows anyway). The fourth core seems to idle along not doing too much
and available for extra stuff such as paging I would hope. While not the
Performer model there is what seams like a reasonable parallelisation
happening by default. At present I am also pushing this through an SLI
setup which does quite a good job of boosting the systems capabilities
over just one card and the drivers could do better still.
With similar setups I get multiple threads running but I couldn't see
any performance improvement. Indeed it got much worse. With or without
SLI the result is the same. Maybe it is a Linux issue. Or maybe I have
to redo the tests.
Are you sure you didn't mean SGI and 2-3 years 'ago'? If anything we
have more trouble splitting than combining but even that is seeing
adequate commodity solutions now.
No I meant NVidia. I don't remember exact words though it was about
reaching the limits of SLI in a few years and overcoming it with such
methods.
Tugkan
