16 threads on a hex core machine?

Deprecated Deadline 6 Beta Discussion
#1

Hi,

I just noticed that the render slave on my hyper threaded hex core machines shows up with 16 threads in the log window, while only showing 12 (as expected) in the slave properties window in the monitor.
How come?

That’s completely normal. A slave will always have 16 render threads available, regardless of CPU count (corresponds with the concurrent task limit of 16).

Cheers,

thanks. I’m a little bit confused about it but I’m sure there is a good reason for it.

I did notice that you have the same issue I had in that the CPUs are not running at full speed.

You have 3.2ghz CPU’s running at 1.2Ghz (look at cpu mhz) :slight_smile:

Ryan @ deadline pointed me in the direction of experts-exchange.com/OS/Linu … -Tips.html which did resolve the problem for me.
