Re: Noob MR Question: Quad Core

Hi kcpsychman

     "Does MR automatically use each local CPU as a separate render node or
do I need to do something to initialize this?"

In order for MR to use all 4 processors you need to set the Render threads to
4.


      "Not sure how to tell what is being used for rendering and how it is
being used."

if you turn your verbosity up to progress messages you will see in the
output/console window  a listing of what machine and what thread is
processing/rendering.


   "Under batch render I have both use local and use network boxes
checked."

This tells MR to use your machine and the allowable number of satellite nodes
(allowable by ,your licence), and of course you must set up the satellites
properly - But I see you have already done this: "The Output Window Says
"got two satellite CPUs"."
