LibreOffice Enables Multi-Threaded 3D Rendering

([LibreOffice] 3 Hours Ago Multi-Threaded 3D Rendering)


The latest LibreOffice drawing code has enabled support for making use of multi-threaded 3D rendering.

The LibreOffice drawing layer has code now set to be enabled for making use of multi-threaded rendering. The thread count is based on the number of CPU threads available and for whatever is being drawn that there is at least 10 pixels height per thread/processor for distributing the work.

With [1]this commit to LibreOffice Git on Thursday, the multi-threaded rendering code is now enabled for use. It will be interesting to see what more multi-threaded work and performance optimizations come for the next release of this open-source office suite, LibreOffice 24.8 due out in August.
