OpenMC Plotter not using the cores specified

Hello,

Hopefully one of you can help me. I am using the OpenMC plotter and for some reason when i use command openmc-plotter -s 24 it doesn’t use all 24 of my cores. When i just use the command openmc-plotter it looks like it runs slower and only uses one core. Anyone know why this is the case??

Thanks

The -s command line argument affects the number of threads that are used on internal calls to OpenMC when it is generating a plot (i.e., every time you change the plot view). Those calls will use the number of threads that you specify, but the GUI window itself does not require multiple threads.

It takes forever to load the gui

Try changing the default resolution to see if that helps: openmc-plotter -r 10

Doesn’t Look like that is an option
