inventor uses me at most 25% of the cpu

[bich]

but is it normal or can I increase the use of cpu?? ?

intel core2 quad cpu q9400 2.66ghz,3.24 gram xp sp3

I am doing a very complex set and how it is obvious the computer is slow enough, so by chance I monitored the use of the cpu and I realized that inventor does not exceed 25% of the cpu... but is it normal? ? ? ?

 

[Ilario]

inventor uses little cpu, uses it only to render (inventor study), stress analysis, perhaps to generate helids and I would say nothing else.

for the rest is all ram, gpu (processor video card) and ram of video card.

So yes, it's normal.

inventor fails to exploit more cores at the same time, except, if not mistaken, some modules such as stress analysis. Therefore, since you have a 4-core processor, you will never be able to use more than 100/4=25%.

azzz, I apologize for the wrong info... .

like a little all cad, solidworks included; One core at a time.
. ah no, when you plant then you see it is all nailed to 100%:biggrin:

But then would it be better to have only one powerful megagiga core? If so it would be possible to do such a thing (having only one core) in 2018?

Thank you.

so many hairs

Maybe if they can use the many cores of today's world.
to already, the improvement from a rel. to the other is mainly the change of rel. itself, resulting in incompatibility between one rel . and the other, as well as insignificant worseningimprovements that do not move productivity.

one no, because (as they said above) sometimes the cad uses more cores and then there are other programs on the pc, the same operating system, etc. that exploit them.

but to buy the quad-core with the highest clock (mhz) that is absolutely recommended (always that the price allows...) to make the maximum 25% ...

it is not immediate to use all cores for parametric cads.

I give you an example where you can:

You're making a render. the cad can quietly "divide" processing in 4 parts and send it to the 4 cores.
at the end, processing will be put together and shown to the user.

while in processing such as regeneration (our daily bread), everything must be done in sequential order so that, for example, the position of the holes is regenerated after the plate has been regenerated, its relations, etc. and you can not split the calculations on multiple cores, because in the parametric cad each calculation must wait for the outcome of the previous one.

I have made some examples, then every cad will try to improve more and more in each area (in loading, removing hidden lines, etc.), but mainly the obstacles are these.

thanks for the explanation, technically exhausting.
Could the parametric program not process in parallel the various sub-axis and then only relate them to each other? At that point it is up to me to follow the correct strategies to speed things up.

try to imagine that the cad requires the regeneration of the hole I was talking about yesterday on another core. I'm very simple, huh?

Well, the diameter is calculated. then comes the time to calculate the depth, the hole has been defined as "through all" so you have to stop because waits for the thickness of the plate whose calculation is happening on the other core: the hole does not yet know the thickness.

Therefore, even if you could split the load on all cores, most of the time a calculation should wait for the end of another calculation and so on, giving few benefits if not even a slowdown.

other things, as I said yesterday to render, can be sent in parallel.
removal hidden lines in drawing, simulations and calculations, axiemi loading, calculation intersections between surfaces, increasingly use of gpu to lighten cpu, etc.

I'm talking about creo which is the cad I know but others will be put more or less like this.

overcloccate people....overcloccate...5ghz and regenerate both your model and your mood
