For actual rendering you're likely to see a performance hit if you let 
the renderer use both "cpus" of a hyper-threaded system.  Best to check 
the force-single-processor flag in the settings and use the second 
execution unit for non-number-crunching operations (Surely your 
underlying OS has something else it'd like to do)!

Re: [CinCVS] Single (Powerful CPU with Hyperthreading) vs. SMP vs. Multiple Cinelerra Render Nodes

2006-06-11 Thread Petr Vacek

Hmmm,  we have very simmilar machine here (2x opteron 270 @ 2.0ghz), and I must 
admit that cinelerra takes
advantage of that quite good, we are using automated splash titles generator,
where user can type text within browser and scripts will glue xml together
and send it to rendering  , it usually contain a few effects, but
one Athlon XP 1800+ used to have 1 minute 30 secs rendering time for classic 
template.
Nowadays, with 4 CPUs, common time is around 20 seconds.

I look forward to see openMosix for 2.6 kernel come out this year, it might be 
a pretty
good for cinelerra.

As you have mentioned Adobe Premiere,from my point of view it may use multiple 
cpu's , but the program doesn't
have smart logic, so even that won't help  (try applying a blur efect to an 
image which last
a few minutes for example ... it will calculate frame by frame ;) - I gave up 
rendering after
waiting an hour and receiving 40 hours expected rendering time - it was no big 
deal for fx and it had to be done yesterday
already )(Yes, it used all 4 CPUs ... I've tried same video later on 2 CPU 
system and it should complete
in 100 hours)
If have to be less brief, yes , it's sad nowadays, as a new generation of 
codecs is out
and HD resolutions are getting trendy, there are no traditional computers ready 
for this,
not that even 4 or 8 CPU can be good enough, at least that x264 can handle 
threads well.

I own a Dual Dual Core Opteron system (4 logical cpu's), i'm using Opteron 270 
cpus.

Based on my experience, although this system is a beast you'll never find 
software that can take advantage of its abilities. Current applications don't 
really use the 64bit architecture in their coding and most of them don't render 
on multiple threads to take advantage of the SMP capability. Its a waste really.

I've been told that Adobe Premier is the only application that can split 
rendering in multiple cpus, but i haven't tried it.

Have you tried cinelerra on this system?  Your comments seem odd, as on
my dual systems, cinelerra will use both cpus (or cpu pipelines on HT
machines) during rendering.

I haven't done testing to determine what kind of speedup this provides
though.

I get improper characters instead of "รก", for example. I have configured
ISO8859-1 coding, so it should work.

I use Cinelerra in Debian, with CVS packages.

Thank you.

When I select "Video MPEG" with options:

Bitrate: Any
Quantization: 4
I Frame Distance: 45

It seem render works but I can't find resulting file: It doesn't exist!

Where is the problem. Cinelerra supports so little formats without problem, but
"Video MPEG" always had worked.

Help!
