Ten Core Intel

[grant977]

I have a ten core intel processor is there a way to tell if DCS is utilizing it if it even capable of utilizing it?

Only capable of utilizing 2. One for sound, one for everything else

All 6 of my cores work a little bit.

That's because the sim is not the only thing running on your machine. DCS is still only using two, directly.

[BuzzU]

If the cores doing other things weren't available wouldn't the cores for DCS be used? Wouldn't that take away from DCS?

 

Just trying to understand if anything is to be gained by all the cores.

Yes and yes.

BuzzU,

 

your CPU has 4 Cores, not 6. 4-Cores + 4 x HyperThreading, appears as 8-core in TaskManager

Unless you run a new setup and not the i7-7700k anymore you got recently.

Ok, old man memory. I haven't looked at them since we fooled with my system. I thought they were all cores, but i'm a dummy when it comes to computers.

 

Ask me how to hunt for bear and elk, or how to take a turn at the fastest speed and I know. :)

Well that explains a lot I assume this applies to dcs world two as well?

what is being refactored/rewritten does use multi-threading where possible.

 

atm the major parts which do it are:

resource loading and other I/O (logging, input, ffb ...), integrity checking, sound

 

w/o rewriting the engine, splitting simulation into a separate thread from the graphics will benefit it most - which will be, in fact, the mentioned client-server approach, just inside the app.

Client-server approach. How much benefit?

1 core for AI logic

1 core for Flight Modeling simulation

1 core for Fluid simulation (radars etc)

1 core for control inputs/outputs

1 core for texture loading

1 core for 3D Line of Sight modeling

1 core for because we can

 

And then second core for sound.

 

See, we have multi-threaded processing in a DCS, we just need two cores to do all the possible things ;)
