3D Studio Backburner
LockedBackburner on a Dual CPU System
We have installed Backburner 2 (from 3D Studio Max) on a Dual Opteron Machine. The performance is less than expected. One instance with CPU affinity set to both CPUs only uses a maximum of 52% of total CPU availability, while it uses 100% of one CPU when affinity is tied to either one of the two.We want to explore using two instances of Backburner. One tied to CPU0 and the other tied to CPU1.
Has anyone done this? What are the exact steps we need to take to accomplish this?
Please don’t waste my time saying it can’t be done. I want to know what tricks we must use to trick the software into allowing two servers on the same machine. If you can’t do it, please don’t answer, if you can, then I have 10000 points for you!
