What is multithreaded rendering?
-
Does it mean I am using more of the (cores) power of the core2duo chip, so it should be faster?
-
Yes. Most renderers that can do multithreded rendering can use as many cores/threads as you have in your computer simultaneously. See two examples in these screenshots.
-
Could one of the cores be broken and this lead to it struggling with multithreaded rendering?
I rendered one drawing with it turned off and it took a long time but completed the rendering, I then rendered another image with MT turned on and it kicked me out, shutting down SU.
-
Which renderer is it?
-
Do you have a reason to believe one of your cores is "broken"? (other than this incident)
-
No not particularly just this happens reasonably often and I also had some autoCAD problems, which the AC forum thought was RAM/videocard. I'm just guessing really.
The renderer is podium.
