Multi-core processor support #143

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
With a contemporary computer XLD is pretty quick at converting as is but I see 
that only one core is ever used. As most machines are at least dual core and 
many now multi-core would you consider re-writing code for multi-core support?

Tend to convert flac to Apple Lossless for iTunes playback and artwork support.

Great programme overall, keep up the great work.

Best wishes

Encoding multiple files at the same time uses multiple cores.

Was opening multiple files at once but hadn't noticed the option in preferences 
to set the number of threads. Now set at 8 with fantastic results. Default was 
only one. Automatically detect and use maximum number of threads could be a 
useful default setting, if possible.

Thanks again.

Already implemented. That option is automatically set to the number of logical 
processors when you first run XLD.

Multicore support was added in version 20071119 (5 years old!), and core number 
detection was added in version 20090825 (3 years old!).

Great, glad to hear it. Somehow my version has been on one. Could have been 
user error but am familiar with and would have understood thread settings if I 
had actively been changing this.

Cannot confirm.

I'm on an iMac (i7) with Mountain Lion and the latest version of XLD, threads 
set to 8, when transcoding FLAC to ALAC I get at most 2 threads. :(

Again, cannot confirm.
