I have no particular desire to repeat the last discussion, but i'll say it again. Hardcoding CPU affinity is: a) unexpected b) a premature optimisation c) not consistent across platforms d) not easily reversible e) a performance killer outside of one specific application model. f) conflicting with other libraries that expect to set CPU affinity linked in the application It is a terrible idea, and doing it in the context of a library is just plain wrong. PS. Reason f) doesn't really exist because other libraries don't do this, for reasons a,b,c,d and e. ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=68716#68716 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
