Description Barcos 2008-04-15 19:24:54 UTC

Version:           0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Is there the possibility to add multicore support in the image manipulation or enhance plugins. Most common cpus ourtimes have dual or more cores ? I saw if there are computing intensiv plugins, only one core is used.

There is also wish in Ubuntu about thumbnail generation with multiple core/CPU:

To be clear here, we need to use OpenMP API everywhere when it's possible...

Comment 3 Johannes Wienke 2010-01-14 18:03:34 UTC

I'm not convinced that OpenMP is the one and only solution for generating multi-threaded code. For pre-existing algorithms it is a nice way but for other stuff that needs more control over the number of threads, synchronization etc. it's not a good way.

For the thumbnail generation a thread pool wit a user defined size sounds like a more appropriate solution to my mind.

Please tests and report. My patch is against git/master. Let's me hear if this solution is suitable for you. It's not configurable.
