Subject: Max 50% usage on dual-core CPU
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:33:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4738B06B.20206@cctv.org> (raw)
I'm working with ffmpeg which uses Pthreads-w32 in Windows XP Pro SP2.
I've used both Pthreads-w32 2.8.0 and 2.9.0 (which as far as I can tell
doesn't exist, but is bundled with the Celtic Druid ffmpeg binaries
nonetheless).
When using a single-core system (Celeron 2.5Ghz), everything is fine and
ffmpeg/Pthreads-w32 eagerly uses 97-99% of my CPU. But when I move the
same code to a dual-core system (P4 3Ghz), it will never exceed exactly
50% of the CPU. By default it uses both cores at about 20/30. If I
change the affinity and restrict it to one core, then it uses the whole
thing but again won't exceed exactly 50% of the total CPU. I get the
same results reading from and writing to a flash drive, so I don't think
it's an I/O bottleneck.
I'm posting this to the ffmpeg list as well, but it seems like this
could be something related to Pthreads-w32. Does anyone have any
thoughts about what might be going on?
Thanks!
