CPU utilization changed?

Post by Max-OpenpointAB »

Hi Daniel,

I have a question about whether Cloud compare has changed its use of processor power. I am using version 2.13 Alpha. I have a process where I color pointcloud data with the function "interpolate from another entity". What I have noticed is that if I use, for example, version 2.14, the processor is not utilized as much as in version 2.13 Alpha.

In version 2.13 Alpha, the processor is utilized at 100%, which makes the process fast and smooth. In version 2.14, not all cores are used, and they are not fully utilized.

I wish I could use 2.14 because CLI functions have been added, which would make the process I currently do manually, could be done automatically. But because the process time is so much longer, it is faster for me to continue using the manual process for the time being.

Finally, I just want to say that you have done such a solid and awesome job with the entire cloud compare, hats off to you!

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Max

Sooo...

I found what i've been looking for on github. Release v2.13.0

"Multi-threading

If possible, CC will now try to use less threads/cores than the maximum number, so as to let the application breath
(warning: some dialogs may keep the previous value as it's stored in the system registry)"

Guess that explains it :P.
