Hi,

I'm running SCID 4.3 under Win 7 Pro 64bit on an Intel i5 (quad core).

When doing post-game analysis the engine uses 100% CPU on all 4 cores. Is this normal? Surely the free engines aren't multithreaded? I'd expect 100% on a single core only.

Thanks,

Mark

Depends on the engines. I have the multi-core versions of a few engines (such as Houdini) and it uses 100% of all the cores during analysis.
