Take the tour ×  By default, pymol seems to grab the number of
cores on the system for rendering. How can I force it to only
use one core?   I have a large collection time-series of of
coordinate data from a computational protein folding experiment.
I'd like batch render the generated pdb files into a movie in a
programmatic way. Pymol however likes to eat up as many cores as
it finds available. I'd like to retain some control of the
computational burden (required for some computational cluster
jobs). How can I force pymol to only use one (or n) core(s)?
