Hey im hoping someone could hopefully help me out with an issue i have. Basically ive created a GLUT application and every time i compile and run it im hitting 100% cpu usage. Strange and confusing thing is that it works fine on any other PC and if i run any other GLUT application on my PC it just maxes out my CPU. Any Ideas?

It's impossible to tell what your bottleneck is without seeing some code. I would recommend profiling it or posting some likely points of interest.

As a side note, run your code with your SwapBuffers() call commented out and see what your CPU runs at. It won't draw anything but it will tell you how much time the SwapBuffers() is eating up.

Commented out glswapbuffers() and had no effect.

Heres my main.cpp file.




#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <glut.h>
#include <gl\gl.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "Texture.h"
#include "Collision.h"
#pragma comment( lib, "Glu32.lib")
#pragma comment( lib, "glaux.lib")
#pragma comment( linker, "/subsystem:\"windows\" /entry:\"mainCRTStartup\"" )

bool LoadTGA(Texture *, char *);
Texture texture[2];




int LoadGLTextures()
{
int Status=FALSE;

if (LoadTGA(&texture[0], "Media/Background.tga"))
(LoadTGA(&texture[1], "Media/Striker.tga"));
{
Status=TRUE;

for (int loop=0; loop<2; loop++)
{
glGenTextures(1, &texture[loop].texID); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[loop].texID);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, texture[loop].bpp / 8, texture[loop].width, texture[loop].height, 0, texture[loop].type, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, texture[loop].imageData);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);

if (texture[loop].imageData)
{
free(texture[loop].imageData);
}
}
}
return Status;
}

void renderScene() {

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

glPushMatrix();
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glRotatef(-90,0.0,0.0,1.0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[0].texID);

glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f); glVertex2f(1.0f,-1.0f);
glEnd();

glPopMatrix();
glutSwapBuffers();
glutPostRedisplay();

}

}



void vars(void)

}

void main(int argc, char **argv) {

If you can see your Windows message pump, it should say PeekMessage instead of GetMessage. I'm betting thats exactly what it is.

Not entirely sure what you mean.

Completely irrelevant.

This is why you have 100% CPU usage. As soon as your renderScene function completes, you have requested for it to be called again.

Removing glutPostRedisplay(); has no effect either. The thing is the code works fine on other computers just not mine. Is there anything other than the code that could be affecting the performance?

Notice you have a glutPostRedisplay in "vars" as well.

ignore the vars function ive deleted that, i stuck that in hoping that would solve the issue which i got from a thread but that had no effect.
