ENSIGHT10_MAX_THREADS

The maximum number of threads to use for each EnSight server. Threads are used to accelerate the computation of streamlines, clips, isosurfaces, and other compute-intensive operations.

ENSIGHT10_MAX_CTHREADS

The maximum number of threads to use for each EnSight client. Threads in the client are used to accelerate sorting of transparent surfaces.

ENSIGHT10_MAX_SOSTHREADS

The maximum number of threads to use on the server of server in order to start up server processes in parallel rather than serially.
