Hello Guys,
I have a question about using multiple threads when comparing.
I am trying to make a decision on using Examdiff Pro or Beyond compare based on the speed of comparing.
From the test, with same machine and same filter, comparing speeds of those are not that different so i am looking for any mean to increase the comparing speed.
What I am looking for is the availability of using multiple threads. Both Examdiff and Beyond Compare use one CPU and compare files inside of folders one by one.
From Beyond Compare, is it possible to use multiple CPU to compare multiple files at once to reduce running time?
For example, there are two folders containing 1000files and each file take 1 minutes to compare. Then folder comparison will take 1000minutes to finish comparisons. But if multiple files are compared at a time, ex. use 5 CPU threads and compare 5 files at a time, then it will only take 200 minutes. I am wondering that the Beyond Compare has that kind of function or not.
