My QGIS processing is pretty slow. Even using "fill sinks (wang & liu)" or "r.fill.dir" takes many hours to finish even though I use a "Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6258R CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2694 Mhz, 28 Core(s), 56 Logical Processor(s)" on a high perfomance pc cluster.

Does somebody know a fix to speed it up?

With these amount of cores it should be way faster.

    How big is your data? How many cores is QGIS actually using? It could be disk access, the cluster interconnect, or the CPU that is the bottleneck.

    We don't have crystal balls so you have to be a lot more elaborate about your project. What format is the data in. Where is it stored?

  • Same question as before, we are missing details. Are you calling a single script or a model ? Where is the data stored ? Where are you writing the data ? Is-it a remote postgis remote ? is-it local ? What kind of format ?

  • My data is around 5-10 gb, depends on which project i work on. There is ton of space available on my disk. Data is stored as .tif. I am storing the data on my home disk. I am running a model ( I think, I dont really know the difference :D) It only uses 1 core I think so the utilization of the cpu sits around 7-8%. While idling the cpu sits a 5-6%.

QGIS is a bit of a hybrid; some functions are single-threaded (most processing algorithms) while others (i.e. rendering) are multi-threaded.

If it was a rendering issue I would suggest something else.

But I think you are working with a huge amount of data. If not, try reinstalling a stable version, it should be ok then, for 99%.

  • Rendering has nothing to do with processing.
