Using the number of CPU cores instead of one

In one statement I make about 1,000 ImageMagick thumbnail images. The whole process takes about 70-80 seconds. After testing we found that IM uses 100% of one CPU core which causes delays. How to configure IM to use the two or three CPU cores?

My version:

Code: Select all

# identify -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.7-0 2013-10-07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Try recompiling with OpenMP enabled. That should be the default in your ./configure. You have to specify --disable-openmp to disable it or have set the environment variable for threads to 1 to have it disabled. Check your ./configure

If it is enabled, it should show in your convert -version.
