Introduction

August release introduces improved autoplotting algorithm which is 1.5 - 2 times faster than in previous release on hardware configuration with 2 GPUs and plots big non-transparent inclusions without holes.

...

The august release program was significantly accelerated. You can notice the acceleration even The main acceleration was achieved on 1-GPU hardware configuration. But the algorithm performance is dramatically improved (1.5 - 2 times speedup) if you use 2-GPU hardware configurationconfiguration. Also in this release there is a support of 2-GPU configuration. For some sets using 2-GPU configuration gives additional 40% of performance increase, but for other ones it is 10-20% or there is no acceleration at all. In future updates we are going to achieve at least 50% acceleration on 2-GPU configuration (compared to 1-GPU configuration) for all possible sets.
