adjusting number of cpu threads to be used

[expo_bold]

Hi all,

I am trying to configure imagemagick on windows to use a predefined number of threads. I see inside the policy.xml file there is a tag: <policy domain="resource" name="thread" value="4"/> , I have adjusted this tag to the number of threads I wish to use but it doesn't seem to be taking effect. Is there another configuration somewhere I am missing? This is on a Windows server 2008 R2 machine. Imagemagick version is 6.8.0-Q16

Cheers

I've never played with that, but I suppose it sets the maximum number of threads to use. Is that how you are using it? How are you testing the number of threads created?

Do you have OpenMP enabled in your compilation?

convert -version

will list that for current versions of IM.
