CPU usage on quad-core structures
Posted: 04 Nov 2015 21:04
Hello,
as a possible suggestion for future releases could be to add the management of multi-core CPUs. As it stands today, only one CPU core is used by OpenLCA.
For example, equipped with a quad core 3,6 Ghz processor, my CPU usage is limited to 25% (meaning only one core out of for is working) of the processor calculation power, 75% remaining unexploited. It could potentially reduce the calculation time manifolds :-)
OpenLCA is great and thank you very much for developing it!
Best regards,
Romain
