dual and quad cpu
Posted: Wed May 14, 2014 5:13 pm
I was wondering If indigo can handle well multi cpu setups.
I am thinking in investing in a dual or quad cpu computer even if it is double the price per performance because I can have more memory, but, I do not know how indigo handle the memory. I have read that there are slots of memory for each cpu, does it mean that the used memory is the overall memory divided by the number of cpus? If I want to render a large image with supersampling and I need 128 gigs of memory, does a quad cpu computer need to have 4x128 gigs of memory?
In this benchmark with HT off It seems that it is faster, does this happen in indigo?

Thanks.
