1394 Resource Allocation Question

I am using Labview 6.1 , IMAQ Vision and 1394 Driver ver 1.1 . I have a problem with the 1394 IMAQ Driver and would appreciate any insight. The problem is that the driver seems to be too conservative in it's resource allocation during initialization of multiple 1394 cameras and I need to acquire and process from between 10 and 12 cameras. I have installed up to 4 FireboardRed OHCI interface cards with VIA ( 8 DMA channels )chipset , in 1 PC. I can install my cameras under the manufacturers drivers and run their demo application which lets me start and acquire / display 10 cameras at once at 30 fps /mono. This tells me that that is possible and not a bandwidth limitation problem. When using the NI-IMAQ 1394 drivers ,the best I can get is
2-3 cameras @ 30fps or up to 7 @ 3.75 fps. The driver returns an error " not enough resources available for acquisition" or the like. I have tried many combinations of frame rates and video modes to bump up the performance , but I can't see why the driver will not allow more than 4 @30 fps to be initialized. This is killing me if I have to make use of other drivers and lose the funtionality of the NI 1394 Driver. I know that certain 1394 interface cards only have 4 DMA channels , but I am running cards with 8 Channels and even so , I can plug 1 camera per port , per card , for a total of 12 using the Fire-I Driver with the 4 channel cards. Help. Thanks.

Please give version 1.5 a try. You should be able to acquire 30fps, 8bit mono on three cameras per 1394 adapter.

Resource Allocation for IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Cameras in Triggered Mode

In this article:
Resource Allocation for IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Cameras in Triggered Mode
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/ED092614FCCC900D86256D8D004A3B0C
it says "The Bytes Per Packet value represents the number of bytes that are transmitted at consistent 125us intervals on the FireWire bus during image acquisition" and the reciprocal of the 125us value would seem to be the source of a value of 8000 in a subsequent formula used to calculate the frames per second.
Is this 125us value independent from the firewire bus speed or a function of it?
If it is a function of bus speed, how does it vary with speed?
(Is the 125us value for 400Mbps and 250us for 200Mbps?)
Thanks!

Hello Warren
Thank you very much for getting in touch with us. Although the Firewire standard itself is not technically supported by National Instruments, I will do my best to assist you. I am currently referencing the IEEE 1394 documentation. From what I'm reading, I do not believe the 125 microsecond value changes. I have copied and pasted the paragraph of interest under Bus Arbitration from a document that I referenced:
The arbitration mechanism gets more complicated when isochronous devices are connected on the bus, because those devices have already been guaranteed bandwidth. Each arbitration round is approximately 125μs long, so bandwidth is allocated as a portion of the 125μs interval. The root node broadcasts (sends a message to node 63, the broadcast address) a cycle start packet, which begins the arbitration round. All interested nodes send an arbitration request as before, and the winning node is still the node closest to the root. After .04μs of bus idle time, the remaining nodes arbitrate for control of the bus. Once each isochronous node has completed its transaction the time remaining in the 125μs interval is used for asynchronous transactions. Up to 80% of the bus bandwidth may be allocated to isochronous transactions and the remaining 20% is left available for asynchronous transactions.
The original document can be found here:
The FireWire Serial Bus and its Implementation
I, unfortunately, cannot claim to be an expert on the IEEE 1394 standard but from what I've researched, the 125 microsecond time allocation is standard and bandwidth is then allocated accordingly. I may recommend consulting IEEE 1394 Trade Association (http://www.1394ta.org/about/Contact.html) for more in depth information. Please let me know if this is sufficient or if I can be of further assistance. I will do everything I can to ensure that your issues is resolved.
Have a great day!

Material and resource allocation

Hi All,
I am working on 2 projects.My Client is a trading company dealint with supply,installation and maintence of medical equipments.The scanarios are like this:
1.One project is a sales project,in which my client purchases equipments from different vendors and have their own warehouses and installes them on the customer site.How can i plan materials and resources and payments.
2.Maintence projects,how to plan this project.
I want the outine structure of these projects with the help of WBS elements and networks.
Thanks

Anand,
With regard to resource overallocation, first take a look at your leveling options under Resource/Level group/Leveling options. Is it set for day by day or is it set for a tighter allocation (e.g. hour by hour or minute by minute)? Normally you should have
it set for day by day or week by week. If it is set for day by day, take a look at the Resource Usage view and look at all the timescaled work for the resource in question. Even though that resource may not be overallocated on a current task, if he/she is
overallocated on some future task, then you will get an overallocation indicator.
With regard to unpredictable tasking, Project does not operate with fuzzy logic. Everything must be defined as absolute. If task 5 must run either concurrently or immediately after tasks 2 and 3 then those tasks should be linked start-to-start or finish-to-start.
One thing you can do to accommodate tasks that may occur at any time during a certain period is to set them up as fixed duration. For example, let's say that tasks 2,3 & 5 will occur sometime during the week but the exact start is unknown. Set them up
as fixed duration, assign the resource and work hours. Project will spread the work linearly over the full 5 day duration. When you determine the actual start, enter that date into the Actual Start field. You can then also adjust the work hours per day as
needed.
Another method would be to set up the tasks as fixed work and link them as required. Set the first task up with an estimated start date. When you determine the actual start date, enter that in the Actual Start field. Project will then shift the schedule
to reflect what you expect to happen.

Field for resource allocation in project online

Hi,
I'm running Project Pro for Office 365. I'm trying to build some Business Intelligence reports. I would like to make a PivotChart in excel where the X-Axis is the time and the Y-axis is the allocation percentage. I would have a filter to select the resources
i want to show the bar chart for. That way i can see over the next few weeks/months who is going to be too busy once they go over 100%. How/where do I get the field for a resource allocation in the OData? What is the name for it, is there a list somewhere
of all the fields one can include into a custom OData?
Thank you for your help.

Jim,
No, using the GUI. Resource Rates are per resource, and will have to be populated when creating the resource.
However, you can bulk edit the resources in project pro and set the standard rate in one go.
Cheers,

Taking Resources Allocation memory reservations into account with CIQ 1.5

Hello all,
I am trying to use CapacityIQ (1.5.2) to estimate how many more VMs can fit in our environment. Unfortunately Capacity IQ appears to be estimating a _much_ larger number of available VMs (CIQ says space for 49 more VMs; Resource Allocation tab suggests room for ~1 more VM).
With the goal of having our VMs run optimally (many of them run java), we tend to use full memory reservations on our VMs, as suggested by VMware (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1008480). This post (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1601230#1601230) suggests that CIQ does not take memory reservations into account when calculating capacity. This would be a glaring oversight by VMware; please tell me it's not correct and that there is a setting that can be changed so I _can use_ (aka continue purchasing) CapacityIQ.
thanks,

Using Oracle as a resource allocation tool

Does anyone have any experience of using HRMS to assist in resource allocation etc? (storing skills data and matching it against role profiles etc)

HRMS enables a competence profile to be stored against each person. Competences can also be stored against Jobs and so the matching of Job to Candidates can take place.

Cross team resource allocation issue

The group I am working with has 4 developers who work on 9 team projects in VSO. The teams working against these Team Project generally own more than one application and we are running into issues with resource allocations.
Does anyone have any feedback or recommendation how to resolve this?

Resource allocation issue

Hi,
I have configured 2 resource classes in ACE as follows:
resource-class BE-Nonprod
limit-resource all minimum 20.00 maximum unlimited
limit-resource sticky minimum 20.00 maximum equal-to-min
resource-class FE-Nonprod
limit-resource all minimum 20.00 maximum unlimited
limit-resource sticky minimum 20.00 maximum equal-to-min
I have applied it to the respective contexts. When i execute "show resource allocation" on the admin context, I see that the minimum bandwidth is 17.77% instead of 20%(see the attachment)Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong. Please advice.

Hi
send me the output for,
show running-config resource-class
You can also use
limit-resource rate banddwidth minimum 20% maximum unlimited.
It will override the
limit-resource all minimum 20.00 maximum unlimited
command.
This command shows the resource allocation but does not show the actual resources being used.
You can display the resource usage for each context from the Admin context by using the show resource usage command in Exec mode. The syntax of this command is as follows:
show resource usage [all | ] [counter [all | current | denied | peak [count_threshold]]]
The keywords, arguments, and options are as follows:
â¢all-(Optional) Displays the resource usage for each context individually. This is the default setting.
â¢context name-(Optional) Displays the resource usage for the specified context. The name argument is case sensitive.
â¢summary-(Optional) Displays the total resource usage for all contexts. For example, the denied column shows the items that have been denied for each context limit.
â¢top number-(Optional) Displays the greatest n users of a single resource arranged from the highest to the lowest percentage of resources used. You must specify a single resource type. You cannot use the resource all keywords with this option.
â¢resource-(Optional) Displays statistics for one of the following specified resources:
-acc-connections-Displays the number of application acceleration connections.
-acl-memory-Displays the ACL memory usage.
-all-Displays the resource usage for all resources used by the specified context or contexts.
-conc-connections-Displays the resource usage for the number of simultaneous connections.
-mgmt-connections-Displays the resource usage for the number of management connections.
-probes-Displays the resource usage for the probes.
-proxy-connections-Displays the resource usage for the proxy connections.
-rate-Displays the rate per second for the specified connections or syslog messages.
Kindly send me the output also for
#show resource usage all

I believe the underlying error is this...
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error opening/loading com.microsoft.util.transliteration.properties.
Now how you are getting one connection and then failing to get more I have no idea but it certainly looks as if this is the error. Following your stacktrace we can see that the a connection is requested from the pool and then the pool attempts to create a connection... seems to actually create it successfully but then blows up doing something with unicode or something.
My suggestion.
Make sure you have an updated driver from Microsoft OR try the jTDS driver instead. This looks like a driver bug to me. Even if you can't use the jTDS one in production I would try it and see if the problem goes away.. that would at least elminate the connection pool or something else being wrong as the cause.
Once you have it isolated you can move on as needed.

Defining resource allocation

Standard use of the tool would be when it's not clear exactly who is going to be doing a piece of work, use a role allocation - when it IS clear, use the specific resource.
Is there any way of defining resource allocations a little further to say - 'we think it's going to be Jim, but it's not been agreed yet'
Resource managers will be using the Web interface for P6 release 6.1 - which AFAIK is not customisable in terms of adding colums to the resource views that are avaialble, so we can't create a user defined code there.
the problem is quite simple - people not following process and going over resource manager's heads to source their own resource. Presumably we could turn off the ability to assign resources to activiites, but i'd be interested in other options / suggestions, however simple or clever.
David

glad i could help. just to be on the safe side.. look up resource security in the application help (desktop/ web clients) for details. quite different from user security profiles for global & project data.
basicly, resource security restricts user access to a resource node (such as a dept, team, etc) and all resources (individuals) underneath for direct assignment. it is off by default for new users. if you so choose, by activating it (the checkbox) for any/all users without assigning them access to any resource node, they can no longer assign resources onto their project activities (just roles).
if user discipline is a serious issue, you may want to re-check global profiles and deny certain privileges on global data as well.
best of luck
btw, you should really consider upgrading at least to P6v7. i remember even 6.2.1 had a few nice new features and bugs fixed compared to 6.1. not to mention P6v7 (with or without SP1 or 2). as you probably know current version is now 8.1. this is even more relevant for you as web-based collaboration features have picked up pace after 6.1 and you seem to need and use them.

Resource allocation

Is it possible to change the partitioning on a 32GB itouch to allocate more room for music or is it fixed? System has slowed significantly since adding 25 songs from the itunes store. current storage is at 13.2GB available with 14.1GB used for music.

Well, I found the workaround to this issue on
Primavera knowledge-base (POINT)!
<br
/>This is reported as a known enhancement request -
prim12479.
Primavera suggests
that all completed & non-active projects should
have the status 'What-If' only. This is the workaround
to exclude resource allocation from non-active
projects.
If we truly want to
see the affect of a planned project's load on
resource(s), we need to choose 'Planned' status for
that project.
Thanks,<br
/>Sandip.

Resource allocation on ACE

Does anyone have a link or white paper on how resource allocations works on the ACE module ? How u configure a context for a resource and so forth?

Hi,
following link is the configuration guide about virtualization and resource allocation. You can find info inthere.

Resource Allocation Graphics

I want to create a graph (as opposed to a print-screen)
showing (for the current project) resource allocation
percentage per month (week, etc.) for a given resource or
group of resources. I could do this in P3, but can't quite
figure it out in P6. Any ideas? How do you guys do it?

I have learned to use the reporting feature of P6 to
export time-phased resource sheets to excel. It does
work, though they require reformatting to be useful.
The other alternative is the
SDK if you have access to it and ACCESS. With some
study and help you could create some excellent reports
using the SDK. I'm sure Crystal Reports are also
SDK-friendly, though I have no first-hand
experience.

Station Globals resource related question( how much it allocates / optimal size of it in system)

Hi,
I have some questions StationGlobal’s oriented:
1. Does the variables of type StationGlobal allocate equals amount of memory without reference to type?
   For example: Number/String/Boolean/Object Reference allocates equals resources:Number=String=Boolean=Object Reference=’X’ bytes)
   Or Number=’X’ bytes, String=’Y’ bytes, Boolean=’Z’ bytes?
2. Does it make the difference if I have 10 or 100 or 1000 StationGlobals variables allocated in my system regards - resources of my system and
    how the quantity of it influences(or not influences) to performance of system/Test execution?
Those questions are important, because we want to know how the quantity/type of StationGlobal’s lvariables influence to overall throughput/performance of
System (e.g. Test running).
Thank you & Best Regards
*I use LabVIEW 8.X & TestStand 3.5/4.0.1 versions only

Not so strange IMHO. You might be making a mental analogy to C data structures where nothing is abstracted and you know exactly what is happening to each byte.
However, TestStand variables are black box objects with a lot more functionality than plain C data structures. Like most such objects you create via almost any object oriented API, their exact memory usage is NOT documented.
One reason memory usage is not documented is that we need to be free to change the implementation if necessary, which would not be possible if we make guarantees about exact memory usage. Another reason it is not documented is because in most practical cases, it is not important, and we don't want to mislead people into worrying about it.
If you are allocating data structures of such vastness that it actually does matter, then the task manager is an appropriate and easy tool to use to view the approximate magnitude of memory used by the objects you create. This applies to most objects from most APIs, not just TestStand variables.

Workcenter resource allocation

Hi
I know that we can allocate and de allocate the operation in a workcenter to another
But is it possible to allocate resources from one workcenter to the other WC, with the help of some planning table as we do in the case of operation allocation.
Thanks

Hi,
WC and resource is the same. Detailed explanation is as below:
In the SAP system work centers are business objects that can represent the following real work centers, Examples of work centers:
u2022        Machines, machine groups
u2022        Production lines
u2022        Assembly work centers
u2022        Employees, groups of employees
We define capacities in work centers, and a capacity is the ability to perform a specific task
We distinguish between various capacities in a work center, such as labor or machines, by using the capacity category. In order to plan capacities in a more detailed manner, we can define individual capacities for each capacity, for example, in the capacity category Person 3 employees or in the capacity category machine 5 lathes.
In your question context, we can change individual capacities in a work center, in business terms, it means to increase or decrease capacity of the work center.
Work centers in PP are called resources in PP-PI module.
Hope this clarifies the doubts.
Please confirm.
Regards
Datta
