Best practices for 用ools?
When encoding multiple instances, is it better to just let x265 determine the number of threads on its own or would it be better to specify a number?
For example: When encoding 2 instances on 12 cores x265 will spawn 12 threads for each of the 2 encodes. Would it be better to set 用ools 6 for each encode (12 cores / 2 encodes = 6 cores each)? I知 assuming that if left to default values x265 would use any/all cores for each encode at its whim. What exactly is it doing when setting 用ools then? Does one encode get cores 0-5 and the second encode gets cores 6-10? |

There is a long and pretty exhaustive description here: https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/maste...rmance-options
And a good overview of threading in x265 here: https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/master/threading.html Did you have a question beyond what's covered in those? |
