Hello all,
I've noticed on two separate machines that when rendering images my CPUs are being max'd out by photoview360.exe at 100%. It does not matter how I configure the image rendering it pegs the CPUs every single time. The worse part is that this is happening on a workstation with dual Xeon E5 octal core processors. I am running a clean installation of SW2014 SP2... Is this just my setup or a bug in feature?
Thanks
No this is correct. One thing you can do is change the affinity of the PV360 in the processes and then it will only use the cores that you want. This helps when working with SW while it is rendering.

100% usage of all your cpu cores/threads is a good thing. That is intended behavoir.
As Jonathan suggests, set the affinity for the PV360 process by disabling a couple cores if you want to free up resources for other work while rendering. You can do that in the Windows Task Manager.
Cheers,

I appericate the feedback. I was really hoping this was a bug, the thought of intentionally loading a CPU to its max just does not sound right to me.
Thanks,
Doug
Your cpu's are more than capable of handling the load if it has proper cooling. My render nodes run for many days (weeks) at a time 24/7. My power supplies suffer more than the cpu's.
