IDL can now take advantage of multiple processors in rendering volume
objects on WinNT, Irix, and Solaris - see the what's new section of the
IDL manuals for more details. We obtained a 2x rendering speedup using
this feature on a dual-processor NT machine that we tested. Volume
objects take a long time to render, so this is a nice feature.
I hope that RSI spreads this feature to other operating systems (such as
Linux) and other operations where it should be easy to implement (such as
FFT's).
