Will the A7 engine take advantage of the newish multithreading technology, for example the Core 2 QX6700? Not many engines support multithreading in games and just run off the one strand, don't utilize the other processors.

I was also wondering what plans there is to implement some kind of multi threading support in the next couple years? I guess Supreme Commander's engine uses multi threading and gains major FPS from it. As well, more and more people buy dual core cpus everyday, and soon quadcore. Does this require an full engine rewrite to pull off?

hm? Gamestudio isn't multithreaded yet? Somehow I do think that GS is already multithreaded.

But indeed, the newer multithreading techniques would be nice to see in action.

only the bsp compiler supports multiple processors

erm, isn't multiprocessor support bit different than multithreading?
multithreading is kinda version of multitasking, that most unix and windows use.

But Multiprozessing the script has many problems for us...
For example Temp would change quiet often
So maybe one Core for Physiks, one for the script or something like that would only work

One core for networking/multiplayer, one core for physics, one core for script, one core for sound...

or like that...
But i think they wont do the same hard work....
script core 100%
sound core 5%
network 20%
physiks 70%
so thats unfair

that wouldn't work.
if the engine would be threaded, I'd think that there would exist thread for every entity or

Entity/Scene
Physics
Miscellianous (nature, sound etc)

But that alone would require the 'threader' to know how to avoid locks and how to keep everything in sync. Passing values in wrong way may chrash the program.

I'm targeting to the fact that you want multithreading without knowing what it is.

As far as I know, the physics engine runs in an own thread, but thats all.

Cheer.
