[x264-devel] Max thread number of x264

[kenter]

Hi, Experts:
     I have a server with 24 AMD CPUs equipped, however, when I set x264
with --threads 36 *(36 means 24*1.5)*, I found the CPU usage only 800+,
which means only 8 CPU cores are filled.
     I also use top -H -p PID to detect the real threads count of x264 proc,
It shows 15 threads runs simutaneous at peak, I need help that How can I
fully ultilize the CPU power?

    My command line is:
    SRC_FILE.yuv 720x576 -I 250 -i 25 -b 4 --b-adapt 1 --b-bias 0 --ref 6
--deblock 0:0 --bitrate 500 --qpmin 2 --qpmax 51 --qpstep 3 --ratetol 8.0
--aq-mode 0 --sar 16:15 --ipratio 1.25 --pbratio 1.25 --pass 0 --partitions
all --cqm flat --direct spatial  --mvrange-thread 24 --me hex --merange 16
--subme 6 --psy-rd 1.0:0.0 --mixed-refs --8x8dct --no-chroma-me
--no-fast-pskip --trellis 0 --nr 0 --threads 36 --vbv-bufsize 2000
--vbv-init 0.75  --aq-strength 1 --chroma-qp-offset 10 --weightb  --fps 25
-o output_file.264

    Thanks!
