Omar Wanis 0 Posted August 7, 2018 Hey Guys i have a workstation with a Xeon E5-2660 Processor (lots of cores but only 2.2 GHz per core) How can i know what nodes are multi-threaded and what are single-threaded in Houdini? i wanna know where things start to get slow because of my cpu. I tried to google it but didn't find sth really useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandrake0 57 Posted August 12, 2018 The progress from single thread to multithreading is still in progress. Dynamic system and mantra are multitreaded(MT). All Vex / vop's code is MT. Under sops one part has MT other part hasn't. Every node that can be in a compiled block is MT. Hope this helps a bit also what i have heard nodes that have MT will run the task on a single core when the data is to small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably, since most modern CPUs use a higher boost frequency when only 1-2 threads are running. That being said, even the viewport display has highly multithreaded parts in it (generating normals, transfering data, convexing, etc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
