i running ubuntu server 8 cores. imagemagick uses 1 single core.
running identify -version
returns:
version: imagemagick 6.6.9-7 2012-08-17 q16 http://www.imagemagick.org copyright: copyright (c) 1999-2011 imagemagick studio llc features: openmp
so openmp
apparently needed multi threading enabled.
running benchmark -bench
option (e.g. convert logo: -resize 500% -bench 10 logo.png
) described here returns
performance: 10i 1.17647ips 14.390u 0.14166666666833332977:08.500
it not return performance[1]
through performance[8]
described in manual makes me wonder.
any ideas how can imagemagick use 8 cores?
update: here strace output imagemagick call: http://pastebin.com/q0gc3k09
i able reproduce behavior on ubuntu 10.04. imagemagick apt-get seems have openmp feature, , configure -fopenmp
flag, feature doesn't seem enabled. can verified running following line, , comparing "features" list (if present) various configuration flags.
identify -list configure | less
i able resolve following article "installing imagemagick source on ubuntu 8.04" detailed following process.
- remove imagemagick
- install needed image/graphic dependency libraries through apt-get
- download
wget http://www.imagemagick.org/download/imagemagick-6.8.6-6.tar.gz
- follow basic
./configure
,make
, &sudo make install
steps - export library path
/usr/local/lib
this seems work openmp present under "features" list, , when execute convert logo: -resize 500% -bench 10 logo.png
. see following
performance[1]: 10i 0.750ips 1.000e 18.750u 0:13.330 performance[2]: 10i 0.751ips 0.500e 18.660u 0:13.320 performance[3]: 10i 0.738ips 0.496e 18.840u 0:13.550 performance[4]: 10i 0.469ips 0.385e 19.560u 0:21.320
and these results match expect.
