How to make FreeCAD utilize multple cores?












0















I am currently on a modified version of debian-standard, jessie, using xfce and LightDM with some amd drivers for the gpu. But my issues is that I am using an 8 core AMD FX 8320, all cores detected and running fine in linux, but for some reason FreeCAD is only using one (Not even entirely) to load a small file. I was thinking maybe if it could utilize multiple cores on my system then it could load the 1.4 MB DAE file without halting the system and taking more than an hour?



Other specs that may be useful?:




  • 8GB 1600mhz DDR3 RAM

  • A not so great ASRock motherboard. Gets the job done.

  • 1TB HDD.

          I think there's no luck with this one. FreeCAD is not designed for what you want:




          Multithreading



          FreeCAD's underlying geometric modeling kernel (which
          is a third-party library called Open CASCADE Technology, or OCC for
          short) does not support multithreading at this time.
          (http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#Multithreading)




          There's no way of making application do things in parallel (that is, using multiple cores) if they are not designed to work that way.
