[cpu_enable] means using all the cpu when gpu are working ?
« on: March 13, 2017, 03:58:13 PM »
Hello, Admin,

I saw the change of 1.3 about the [cpu_enable] changed from [cpu_cores_inactive].

I am wondering [cpu_enable] means that photoscan will use all the cpu when gpu is working ? so it does not leave any cpu to operate with the gpu ? Or it means anything else ?

Thanks

Hello jiji,

When cpu_enable flag is on, PhotoScan automatically disables required number of CPU cores depending on the number of GPU devices used in processing.

Thanks for the reply

So it means that it will use the rest cpu availble ?  like I have 8 cpu and 2 gpu, so if the cpu_enable flag is on, it retains 2 cpu to operate with the gpu, and the 6 cpu will be used to compute ?

thanks
