Hi,
We are gathering information for our new Workstation.
We do not need rendering performance, neither we use to have big assemblies, but we use to make high precision complicated machining programs.
Therefore I think our most important factor would be single thread benchmark as in NX specs there is no CAM reference on SMP or multi threading performance.
But that's only my guess as I could not find any detailed information for Workstations mostly dedicated to CAM process.
Finally we would like to know if the "Parallel generate" option in CAM does use as many cores available as possible or it just uses one.
It would be useful to use multi threading in this case as you can calculate several machining processes in each core at the same time.
It's something to have a thought about as AMD and Intel handle clock speed and multi threading very differently.
By the way, in the last NX update we have problems with this option, sometimes parallel generate works perfectly and sometimes it just refuses to calculate anything
without giving any error message. Is there any workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Dani.
