Hi Neil
Have you tried the command
set max_threads, 4
That should enforce 4 threads, even on single CPU machines. Then it's up
to the kernel scheduler to distribute them to the defferent CPUs
Cheers,
Esben

Subject: [PyMOL] multi cpu rendering
Dear All,
I've been preparing figures for a manuscript on a Sun v40z with
4 x Opteron 850 cpu's and 8Gb of memory (and Suse9.0). When I start
pymol:
> pymol.com -c script.pml
pymol says that it detects 4cpu and enables multithreaded
rendering, but I never see it using more than one cpu.
Especially for producing ray traced movies, I'd really like to
see the multiprocessing benefits.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers,
Neil
