64bit and Multithread Workloads for Storyline
I just want to share something I have been sitting on for quite some time and that is my thoughts on the frankly old architexture that Storyline 360 is built on. From a back end point of view it onl...
Hi Everyone!
Great news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (version 3.82.31354.0), which includes a new 64-bit version of Storyline 360! Harness the processing power in modern computers with 64-bit Storyline 360. Large, media-rich courses benefit from increased stability and faster performance!
To use 64-bit Storyline 360, please update your Articulate 360 desktop app, then click the Install button next to the Storyline 360 app with the 64-bit and beta labels. The Install button will change to an Open button when the installation is complete.
This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.
Hi all,
Memory usage and performance are two of the top priorities for our team right now, and work is underway in both areas. I shared this discussion with them for some additional insight into the experiences you're currently having with Storyline.
I did want to clarify one point, Luke.
To give a bit of reasoning stoyline as a 32bit app is currently limited to single thread (1 cpu core) support and 4gb of RAM.
Storyline is extensively multi-threaded and will currently take advantage of systems with multiple processors.
The requests have not fallen on deaf ears, as we've continued to work on memory and performance issues, and will continue to do so. I've tagged this discussion so that I can share any updates with you here once available.
Please let me know if I can help with anything else, and if you'd like our team to take a look at any of the performance issues you've run into, they are always happy to help. Reach out to our Support Team directly here.
Hi Ashley thank you for this update this is very informative and does put me at ease. One thing regarding the multithreaded performance. Monitoring the cpu core usage on a 16 thread Ryzen system and an 8 thread Intel system, the only instance I can see that multiple cores are employed is when publishing a course, one thread is used to maintain storyline operations where others are used to render video, audio elements and compress images etc. I have yet to come accross a case where more than one core is being engaged during development of a course. Obviously I may not have covered every instance of how the builder may be used but I think this is worth noting.
Been hearing this for years. I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime, I'll just keep my chin up while suffering the multiple Storyline crashes that will occur today. By the way my machine is built with some of the best hardware available today. It's definitely Storyline and not my rig.
