Thats probably the best reasoning I've heard

I'm thinking about loaders mostly atm, so if you say the hooks are there I'll jump in that way.

Made a update to the "game" today to add more tracks/cars etc. It's just getting out of hand:

I've cross posted this onto JGO to try and get more performance figures:

Ok, strange results here.

I'm using:

      Config.useMultipleThreads = true;
      Config.loadBalancingStrategy = 0;
      Config.maxNumberOfCores = Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors();

On my box (2 processors, 1 core each) it seems to utilise both.
On another box (1 process, 2 cores) it seems to only use one thread
On a third box (4 process, 2 cores each) it seems to use each processor, but only at 40%ish.

I've had people check what Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() returns, each time it returns the number of hardware threads available (equal to the cores). So above 2, 2 and 8.

Should I be able to use more cores than processors?

Kev

Frickin awesome, I'll upload the new applet in a moment. I get a 60fps->100fps increase, about 66%? 2 Cores here so thats fantastic.

Great work!

Kev

Oooh, that sounds freaking awesome

Kev

Sorry if this has been asked before, I can't find the answer on the wiki or through searching the forums.

I'm using the software renderer at the moment (very cool btw!) and was wondering if it's possible to use more than one thread/core to generate the output image if available. At the moment I'm seeing 100% usage of a single CPU on multicore machines.

Thanks for any help (and for the wonderful jpct)

PS. Just experiementing at the moment, will write up on cokeandcode soon
