My PC has 8 cores, 2*Opteron 2378. I have been testing speed with different number of cores. And to my surprise I must tell you, that when more than 5 cores are used - the speed drastically drops down!
For instance with 4 cores is is steady 200it/sec. On 6-8 cores it is 1 it/sec, and occasionally (less than 5% of the time) the speed jumps up to 2000it/sec). It is visible also in OpenGL window - everything is stalled, and after 10 seconds it suddenly moves extremely fast, for 0.5 of sec. Then again everything stalls. -- Janek Kozicki http://janek.kozicki.pl/ | _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
