Is reconstruction process single-threaded?

[hemant]

I am using 72 cores for processing a large dataset. But I find that Reconstruction process is awfully slow.

I came across this OpenSFM post: Thread Thrashing in some processing steps · Issue #541 · mapillary/OpenSfM · GitHub

I checked the thread usage and I feel that it is single-threaded.

Some specific steps are, yes, but that particular issue was closed/fixed over a year ago.

Do you know what specific step you’re in? What’s the full commandline for it in htop?

Looking like you’re in the split/merge part of the pipeline. I’m not super familiar with how this part should behave, however.
