Usage of Intel Multi-Core CPUs

#1 Post by agareau » 30 Jan 2022, 06:08

Forgive my ignorance but does Diptrace, in particular the Autorouting and Auto Placement functions, take significant advantage of Intel Mullti-Core CPUs ?
In short, will I see a signicicant increase in thee speed of these functions by using a CPU with 3X the number of cores ?

DipTrace uses multi-core CPUs but implementation depends of nature of each function. DRC, copper pouring and some others can be performed by multiple threads concurrently while others (autorouting, autoplacement) are difficult to run in parallel threads.
