Multi-threading/parallel computation?
Does anyone know if Processing is by default limited to CPU/RAM usage defaults? I'm integrating it into a facility at my university on a ridiculously powerful system (24 cores, 36GB in graphics power and a stupid amount of RAM). Yet, some sketches run at a poor frame rate (10-20 per second), which isn't much better than my MacBook Pro, so I feel there's something wrong. I've tried multiple renderers as well. For example, the flocking example that comes with Processing couldn't handle more than a few hundred objects (which wasn't much more than any other computer could), or with 3D scenes only a few hundred boxes causes a very laggy navigating experience. OPEN GL rendering didn't seem to make a big difference.
Does anyone know what this might be? It's been hard searching for "processing performance" in relation to the actual program "Processing". Thanks!
Answers
Maybe your question should be re-phrased as if Processing supports parallel computations, the usage of multiple cores...

Thanks for the advice. Might also be a threading problem as I've found information elsewhere...

@GoToLoop what is Reddit? Parallel posts?

How do you keep track of reddit and processing, specifically when it comes to posts related to processing?
Kf
I've just realized that posted subject there corresponded to the 1 here. ~:>
And yes, I've got a link for that sub-reddit, like I do to this forum: :>

@GoToLoop Ok, so probably the OP open a parallel post. For one second I though you did. It would be polite to cross-link those postings but ohh well... I guess there are no policies related to this here. Thank you for your clarification related to reddit. I have to ask one more thing. Who follows reddit and who follows this forum? I can infer reddit has a wider audience and is it safe to assume their audience are more mid to advance developers? Are their contributions processing-relevant or are they more general-programmers... like for example C++ developers or linux gurus contributing to these posts? I just wanted to have an idea. Thanks,
Kf
No idea either. My participation there is merely a fraction of what I do here. 8-|
