Wrote on the subject of Blender Irix Development at Jan. 1, 2007, 5:06 a.m...

hello

i have try the latest Blender provided in the previous topic, support up to 8 cpu is great

i cannot resist to do some benchmark and i observe some strange behaviour in multithread

i use the same test scene between the Octane2 dual R12k and the O2k 8 R10k 250

the first try i do with the O2k was about 1m17s75.....slower than my Octane2.... ??

parametters was, 8 threads, render tile 4x4

at the begining of the rendering all the cpu are loaded, and gradualy as therendering progress, the used cpu number goes lowering. why ??

at the begining the rendering was very fast, and when the most rendering parts are done, the rendering brake seriousely

so i have found a solution, i adjuste the tile render zone as multiple of numbers of cpu, so this is the result with this mods:

8 threads, render tiles 8x8 done in 25s63...... awesome no ?

from to start to the end of the rendering, all the cpu are used....

regards & happy new year

Laurent

hum, not for now.....

i think it's possible to make a version for more cpu no ???
i'm sure i can get some more speed with more than 8 thread on 8 cpu.....

i do this with dual (or more cpu config), you can push the thread number as twice the real cpu number.

i can gain some 10-20% on rendering time with dual cpu Octane with 4 threads
because blender rendering engin, assign definite image parts to each thread, and once the part is finish, the thread is not re-allocated to an unfinished part. so the cpu idle, what a lose of power.... so more thread feed your cpu(s).

why i am a sgi fan ?

because when i was younger, i does 3D with my amiga , using real 3D, sculpt ,image and lightwe, and i was dreaming about SGI hardware to compute and model my scenes.

i stay with my amiga to 1999, i had an A4000 / 060 oc at 66Mhz, 128Mb and equiped with a picasso II.
in 2000 i move to PC and windows....until i bought my first sgi in 2005, an indigo2 R10k maximpact, and then i was fell in love for these.

since i collect all the old stuff i can find
