Why is my CPU load constantly at 100%?

The CPU and GPU are used for image processing in the Atlas SDK, and the image-processing library is running threads as fast as possible to achieve the best image-processing performance. This can be disabled by setting the system environment variable “OMP_WAIT_POLICY” to “PASSIVE” without losing too much performance.

To change the environment variable, follow the steps below:

  1. Right-click on Computer, then select Properties.
  2. Go to Advanced System Settings, Environment Variables.
  3. Change the value of the OMP_WAIT_POLICY variable to "PASSIVE."
