In Houdini Engine 7.0, What's New in HAPI 7.0 [www.sidefx.com] , several set/get attribute async interfaces have been introduced. I’d like to understand their purpose better. Are these async interfaces specifically designed for parallelizing certain operations? If so, which operations or tasks benefit from this parallelization?
1. Does the HAPI_SetAttributeXXXXDataAsync()function allow for parallelized attribute setting within a single part of a node before committing the geometry?
2. Or is it that the async API itself doesn’t inherently introduce parallelism within the same session, but only achieve asynchronous calling without ensuring parallel operations?
Thanks!
