Hello -
Just out of curiosity does anyone know at what point more cores/threads starts to see diminshing returns?
i.e running a 12 core seems to utilise all cores (if not all fully utilised) with vellum, will this continue up to say a threadripper 32 core? Appreciate not all nodes are optimised for multithreading but vellum seems like it might be??

Thanks

large portion of vellum solve uses Open CL so most likely runs on GPU unless forcing it to use OpenCL CPU driver

thanks and yeah i'd not fully appreciated how much of vellum was optimised for the GPU so deffo less value in upgrading to more cores on the CPU front.
