Hi,
I recently installed Intel 12900K CPU on one of Vray (for Maya) render node machines. When I start a render from my main machine I noticed that not all cores are running on 12900K. Turns out only E cores are being utilized while P cores are sitting idle at 0% making render times very inefficient.
I suspect this is because with the new Intel P/E cores architecture CPU is treating Vray slave service as a background process hence only using E-cores which are very slow for rendering. Is there a way that Vray could force this CPU to use 100% of its cores?
Currently I am running Process Lasso app to force CPU to use all the cores with Vray, but I would very much like to have this working without using another app.
I'm using last version of Vray Next and Maya 2018
