Hi Matthew,<br>
<br>
I believe that the -N option of rad will start multiple instances of
rpict, with each instance working on a different view (ie NOT parallel
processing on the same view). So if the rad file that you have only has
one view then using -N 2 will not accomplish anything.<br>
<br>
If your intent is to distribute one image (view) over multiple cores
then you will need to look into rpiece.<br>
<br>

<br>
I've finally got my ubuntu partition in working order with Radiance
installed and ready to go. Unfortunately, my office only had a dual
core machine available for my use, so I need to get Radiance running
some parallel processes on the two cores. I've been reading up on the
-N option for rad, but whenever I use "-N 2" as a parameter, only one
of the cores is running rad. Does the -N option actually work, or do I
need to use rpiece for running radiance on both processors. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
