CPU usage nxplayer

[devr]

I connect from my Mac (client) to several linux NoMachine servers.

• Mac client shows that h264 is in usage(see attachment h264.png).
• Mac has Core i5 Sandy Bridge(2.6Ghz) / 12GB Ram / Intel HD4000
• Tested with Sierra and El Capitan

Currently the nxplayer process consumes 40-54% CPU while using for example Chrome on server side(while scrolling).(See attachment cpu.png)

Is this the expected CPU usage on client side or is there something wrong in my configuration?

Both sides use the actual version 5.1.54.

Hi!

Such CPU usage doesn’t look “pathological”, though there are a few things that you could try to lower the CPU usage:

– checking the ‘Disable client side image post-processing’ option in the Display settings tab;

– verifying if the ‘Disable hardware decoding’ option in the same tab is unckecked;

– disabling the ‘Fit to window’ display option.

 

However NoMachine is currently working on porting most of its image processing algorithms to the GPU, thus offloading the CPU. Work on this is in an advanced state.
