https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/processing-power-partitioning/m-p/1002487#M24887 <P>Dear Map Community,</P><P>I have been having issues with the processing time when I run geoprocessing tools (some took 5 hours) in ArcGIS Pro. I also have slow downs when I work on my layouts, many times when I add small texts (What should take me 5 minutes, takes me 20 minutes).</P><P>a.) what can I do to improve processing times?</P><P>c.) I can't seem to figure out how to make the cartographic partitioning work in order to get ArcGIS to use more than one core. Any tips?</P><P>Thanks in advance <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Wed, 18 Nov 2020 11:22:56 GMT FritzMichaelGschwantner 2020-11-18T11:22:56Z https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/processing-power-partitioning/m-p/1002487#M24887 <P>Dear Map Community,</P><P>I have been having issues with the processing time when I run geoprocessing tools (some took 5 hours) in ArcGIS Pro.

If it's on a local SSD hard drive that would increase performance.</P><P>As for using multiple cores, you need to read and understand the help file, if a tool honours such settings this is listed in the <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/cartography/create-cartographic-partitions.htm#GUID-72B15962-DE1B-421B-92C7-B53D65EAAD8B" target="_self">environment settings</A> of the tool on its help page. Now go have a look, you tell me if you see anything about supporting parallel processing...</P> Wed, 16 Dec 2020 20:21:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/processing-power-partitioning/m-p/1010303#M24974 DuncanHornby 2020-12-16T20:21:20Z
