Folks,
There is now a 3.7 linux beta (x86 only for now, sorry) available via the
beta download page (http://www.povray.org/beta/).
Followups to the beta group please.

Sweet, thanks, Chris. Downloading now - wish I still had the DP system I
had a year ago (had to give it back to work), but I'll play on my SUSE
10.1 system. :-)

hi, i know this is a little bit out of topic but i have to run a benchmark
on a linux system with povray under a dual-core system. I am currently
using povray-3.7 beta14 with suse linux 10.1. how can i use two cores? is
there a parameter?
thanks for your help!

I thought my system only had one core, but in the test renders I've done
so far, it indicates two threads are being used.
Chris, does that indicate to you that my system is in fact dual core?

POV-Ray should automatically render in multithreaded mode without you
having to specify anything. Are you not seeing a considerable increase
in rendering speed (which would suggest it's rendering in one single
thread)?

No, it just indicates that POV-Ray 3.7 by default uses cores*2 threads
to render.

Great - thanks. I wasn't aware that 3.7 used multiple threads per
processor or core; 3.6 didn't do that, did it?

That's the whole idea in 3.7.

That's what I thought, just wanted to confirm. Thanks for that. :-)

No, the actual default is 2 threads regardless of the number
of cpus or cores. Use the +wt command-line option or WorkThreads
INI setting to change this figure.
