[vtk-developers] Dashboard test failure question

[David Cole]

This test failure, for the "vtkRenderingVolumeCxx-TestSmartVolumeMapperWindowLevel" test:
http://open.cdash.org/testDetails.php?test=230043852&build=3179332

Contains this output:
Warning: In C:\n\d\VTK\Rendering\Volume\vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper.cxx, line 1500
vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper (051D3040): Number of threads 4 is  > 1. This class does not produce repeatable results when the number of threads exceeds 1.

If that warning is true, then shouldn't any test that uses that class set the number of threads to 1 instead of trying to use all the cores available on a machine......?

Does anybody really want non-repeatable results?


Thx,
David C.
