when I play a RBD simulation inside houdini it uses all the CPUs for calculations. When I want to save this simulation using rop_geometry SOP it uses only 1 processor. Is it possible to run and save the simulation on the background using more than one processor as you can do with mantra?

because the ROP Output Driver is using a wrote-file command.
and all wrote-file command like fstream / cflie only support single-thread.

watch carefully with your taskmanager.you will see the simulation step is multi-thread,and the saving file step is single-thread.

hope help.
cheers.
