using multiple renderers in 1 process?

MichaelJPCT:
Hello Egon,
i have a strange idea. can we use 1 opengl renderer and multiple software renderers at the same time in 1 process?
software renderers don't use gpu but only cpu. nowadays all cpus have multiple cores. if we use most cores for rendering (for example render-to-texture) it should be great, right?
if so, the software renderer can be a great tool.

EgonOlsen:
It is possible to use the renderers in parallel to a degree. IIRC, it will hinder the GL renderers performance slightly and combining the results of both will most likely eat up all the benefits that doing so might have. I don't think, that it's worth it.

MichaelJPCT:
what if gl renderer and software renderer are used to render 2 different display port? not combining the images, but still in 1 process. is this do-able? would it be faster?

EgonOlsen:
Yes, that should work. Would it be faster...faster than what?

MichaelJPCT:
i mean, faster than using only gl renderer to render all display ports.
