One of the requirements in the design of HMES has been to incorporate support for multi-core processors.

The Windows Threading API is being used extensively throughout the software, increasing performance and providing a smoother user experience.  The increase in software complexity is well worth the effort.
The various editing dialogs are using a number of threads to provide faster response to user input, with each dialog typically supporting up to three or four threads.  So persons using a quad-core or better computer will notice a faster and smoother application response.
The use of threading also benefits smaller hardware setups, as this software is also testing on Intel Atom processor based computers, and the Atom 330 1.6GHz dual-core dual-thread still performs exceptionally well.

This blog will contain posts regarding the current state of my company's software development.

Currently under development is the TerreSculptor heightmap editing software, or HMES for short.

This software provides a massive number of features for creating and editing heightmap-based terrain systems.  It features support for heightmaps up to 32768x32768, it can import and export almost fifty different file formats and sub-formats, and includes a large number of creation and editing functions.

While this software is targetted for video game developers, it may also find a niche with any other business working with heightmap or geo systems.
