Hello, Thanks for the FLTK improvement.
There are plans to multithread gazebo, although it won't happen in the near future. We are currently trying to get some more basic functionality and usability issues tied down right now. The easiest way to incorporate threads with gazebo, would be to separate the rendering from the physics simulation. I'd be happy to help you out with this, if you want to take stab at it. The physics sim will take up significantly more CPU than the rendering, especially when numerous models or heightmaps are invovled. -nate On Jan 16, 2008 8:25 AM, Hendrik Skubch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I moved a simulation to a faster computer today (an Athlon X2) and > noticed that the simulation was only using about 50% cpu time of one > core.
