= MPI-Povray Performance Report =
After running all of these povray cases under the path : /home/rider/scenes (default:/opt/povray31/scenes) , i have choose 5 (*.pov)files which are the highest cpu consumption(最耗運算資源-光影相關運算)for mpi-povray to run performance test.[[BR]]
All of the rendered files had been put in the /home/rider/povray_demo directory.[[BR]]

Rendered files for the performance experiment are listed below...

/home/rider/scenes/advanced/woodbox.pov [[BR]]
/home/rider/objects/pawns.pov [[BR]]
/home/rider/scenes/advanced/whiltile.pov [[BR]]
/home/rider/scenes/interior/ballbox.pov [[BR]]

== Experiment Case ==
We have 4 experiment cases:[[BR]]

case1: 1024 x 768[[BR]]
case2: 2048 x 1536[[BR]]
case3: 4096 x 3072[[BR]]
case4: 8192 x 6144[[BR]]

Result: Using this machinefile,we only get one node running povary process by 4 CPUs and the others are nothing to do. [[BR]]

Step1: rider@node101:~$ krg_capset -e +CAN_MIGRATE [[BR]]
Step2: rider@node101:~$ migrate pid nodeid [[BR]]

Failure: Running-povray process can not be divided to several threads for kerrighed to migrate. [[BR]]

Solution: OpenMP + POVRAY (Testing) :
Step1: rider@node101:~$ '''krgcapset -d +DISTANT_FORK,USE_INTRA_CLUSTER_KERSTREAMS'''
