dhruv Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Nemetschek should make a benchmarking utility for Vectorworks so that users can compare performance of various machines available on the market and wisely make there buying decisions. Correct me if i am wrong. I read some where that only raytracing in VW is multiproc. aware. ofcourse it is rendering which takes most of the time. But i would like to know what are the other processor intensive tasks in VW. I guess panning and zooming would be taken care of by the GPU. Boolean and other 3D operations could be CPU intensive, but most of us rarely have very complex geometry anyway. I was also wondering that, the days of higher Ghz on a single CPU are over and chip companys will hence forth start cramming more proc. cores in a single processor. So it is about time that CAD companies made their applications multiproc aware. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Apple provides Developer Tools for OSX which can be used to test the performance of VW processes. file://localhost/Volumes/Developer/Applications/Performance%20Tools/ Quote Link to comment
