pagadi-zaiet Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Is BS2 useing multi-core or I have to alt-tab and set afinity?
Luigi Gorgonzola Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 No need to set affinity manually in BS2, all cores are assigned by default.
Suchacz Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 No need to set affinity manually in BS2, all cores are assigned by default. I don't think that ALL cores, I would rather say TWO cores... :( Per aspera ad astra!

sobek Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I don't think that ALL cores, I would rather say TWO cores... :( No, affinity is set for all cores. The sim consists of two threads, however. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
Suchacz Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) No, affinity is set for all cores. The sim consists of two threads, however. ...and thats a pity. We have strong powerful high frequency 4+ cores CPUs, so this looks like wasting of our resources :( Edited December 5, 2011 by Suchacz Per aspera ad astra!

ED Team c0ff Posted December 7, 2011 ED Team Posted December 7, 2011 No, affinity is set for all cores. The sim consists of two threads, however. Sim actually uses much more than 2 threads, but only 2 are CPU intensive. Dmitry S. Baikov @ Eagle Dynamics LockOn FC2 Soundtrack Remastered out NOW everywhere - https://band.link/LockOnFC2.

airdog Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I did it and got a minor improvement but I was not having major issues either. I can say it does not hurt to try it.

Xxx Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I wonder what ED think? The "Core Parking" seems to apply to servers and is a power saving feature? I can not think why this would help our DCS sims. But I am not a software/hardware engineer:music_whistling: I see 2 cores of my i7 used during A10 and BS. What I see, thats very interesting, is a large increase in use of the GPU. More so with A10 than BS? The dreaded stutters can be a symptom of numerous hardware assemblies.

ALDEGA Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Core parking can also be configured in Windows 7 (several parameters exist), not just Windows Server 2008 R2 (="Windows 7 server"). I have it enabled on my Windows 7 desktop system (Intel Core i7 860). Since DCS only uses two cores and nothing else is happening on my system, I don't see how it would negatively affect performance. The two cores are not fully used either. GPU may be the bottleneck ... :( I think stutters are often due to data being loaded from disk. The longer DCS is running (and the more terrain and objects you've "viewed"), the less stutters you should experience as data is cached in RAM, if you have sufficient RAM that is ...
ALDEGA Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I wonder what ED think? The "Core Parking" seems to apply to servers and is a power saving feature? I can not think why this would help our DCS sims.Core parking is handled by the operating system and can also be used in Windows 7. Applications are not programmed to interact with this feature. Moreover, there is a performance feature in Intel's i7 CPU's that automatically increases the clock speed when there is a high load. The amount of clock frequency increase depends on the number of loaded cores. In case of Intel i7 860: Default clock for four cores: 2.8Ghz Max clock for 4 cores "loaded": 2.93Ghz Max clock for 2 cores "loaded": 3.33Ghz Max clock for 1 core "loaded": 3.46Ghz This feature can help increase performance of applications (including DCS) that don't use all cores without requiring permanent manual overclock of all cores.
