'8 virtual cores' machine

Like to know if I should be setting the number of cores in Logic to 8 or 4 for a recent Macbook Pro 2.2 Quad core with '8 virtual cores'?
The CPU readout shows me 8 cores, and this machine seems to perform as well as my old Macpro which really was a full 8 core machine, but this does  the business without the huffing and puffing, the heating up and the fan-drama. A-mazing.
At the moment its set to Automatic and the distribution across the cores is reasonably even

"At the moment it's set to Automatic and the distribution across the cores is reasonably even."
Unless you are having issues with logic's performance I'd stick with automatic.  Reasonably even distribution not maxing out is juuuuust fine :)

    I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

  • A few questions re: installing 10g on a virtual linux machine

    I am in the process of building up a virtual linux box on my XP laptop and have a few questions regarding the networking setup. Purpose is to have a sandbox *nix setup at my fingertips. 
    Here's what I have so far:
    Dell Latitude laptop running Win XP. This is a DHCP machine.
    Installed VMWare Player
    Created virtual machine with OEL 4.8, with NAT network config
    So far, so good. Next step is to install 10.2.0.4 EE on the virtual Linux machine. When installing 10.2.0.4 directly on the XP system, of course I had to install a loopback adapter to provide a fixed IP address for Oracle, all well documented in the installation guide. While it is my understanding that the loopback adapter, as installed and configured on Windows, is primarily a Windows issue, I would expect something of the same fundamental under Linux insomuch as it is still a dhcp machine. However, when checking the relevant installation guide, the section on networking considerations and DHCP simply gave a two-paragraph discussion of what DHCP was. I found no discussion on how to deal with it in a *nix environment.
    This particular vmware setup gives me a choice of 3 network configs - Bridged , NAT, or host-only (private vitrual net shared only with the host) I am currently configured to use NAT because I need outside connectivity (to yum server, etc) but do not want an additional device (ip address) on the real network. I'm guessing I could use host-only most of the time and when I need to access the internet, shut down the db and switch back to NAT.
    This is all new territory for me, so I guess I'm looking at some 'best practices' advice as much as anything.

    Ed,
    I would encourage going for OEL 5u2 or 5u3 and including the oracle-validated package. It makes sure you have all the prerequisites for 10gR2 and makes life much easier.
    I set up dozens of these machines for Oracle U classes. What I started with originally is 2 virtual NIC - a NAT and a Bridged. The Bridged allowed me to access the outside world at any time and was assigned using DHCP from the local network. The NAT I'd configure manually as a static IP, and I used it primarily to provide a second 'virtual network' so the classroom machines could communicate with each other.
    In my latest iteration, I've dropped back to a single Bridged NIC based on DHCP. For Oracle install purposes, I
    - pick a hostname (myhost.oraclass.com)
    - switch to static IP (I've scripted it - edits /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/syscfg/network : hostname) but using the network GUI tool is ok as well
    - I choose the static to macth the DHCP address assigned
    - inject a single line into the /etc/hosts with the new static address, the hostname, and a hostname that I want to publish
    192.168.4.21 myhost.oraclass.com orahost student21.oraclass.com student21
    - set a global env variable (/etc/profile.d/oraprofile.sh (export HOSTNAME=myhost.oraclass.com)
    and after installing Oracle, I switch back to DHCP. Then if I want to travel, I can easily switch the 'static' address as often as I want (also scripted) to match the IP addr the 'host DHCP' provides.
    I've used the NAT. It hands out a DHCP address and usually it works for me (and Oracle) simply by making it static (as above) and letting VMWare container handle it. But every once in a while it seems to 'jam up' and I'd need to fight with it. So I've converted to bridged .. with the help of some scripts I've written.

  • After Effects not reporting virtual cores

    I'm currently installing my new workstation and came across the same issue however, I have 36 physical cores, 72 virtual cores but only 36 are visible by AE.
    Using latest CC2014.

    Hi Todd, thanks for the feedback, managed to change it.
    However onto next thing when I look at the resources AE is using it's far from using the potential of my new workstation.
    Are there specific things I should look at or change to get AE more up to speed ?
    Current hardware setup:
    2x Intel Xeon E5-2699v3 @2.30Ghz (2x18core)
    256GB Ram
    System disk: 2x120gb SSD RAID0
    Scratch disk: 2x120gb SSD RAID0
    Workdisk: 4x512GB SSD RAID0
    Video: 2x GTX980
    Windows 8.1 Pro
    So for example, I'm loading in a 4K DNG sequence, I would expect Disk Usage would get up to maximum speed, however in Resource monitor it shows it's using only a mere 10MB/sec
    For this example CPU & RAM are behaving quite normal as I don't expect it to be CPU intensive or Fill up my RAM completely.

  • Unable to join to domain 2008 server core machine

    Hi, I'm trying to join the server core computer to domain. When I'm running command: netdom join core /domain:contoso.prv  I'm getting error:

    When trying to ping my server core machine form DC- doesn't work. Pinging DC form server core is working.
    My domain it was just configured and is fresh installation. Do I have to change some firewall settings on core to join to the domain..
    I do not understand the problem.
    I just learning, so please to be placable, pelase. 

    I Have resolved the problem. I have not noticed
    (I do not know why) the IP of the core server

    changed it. After the change everything works
    fine :). Thanks for help anyway.

  • Compiling on a dual core machine and running the class files on linux.

    does compiling on a dual core machine and running the class files on linux have any effect?

    well, the problem that i felt was that when i runmy
    class files on my machine(windows xp, dual core),
    Thread.sleep(60000) sleeps for 1 minute. but wheni
    run it on a linux machine, Thread.sleep(60000)sleeps
    for 2 minutes. my application has a lot ofthreads.
    I can't be 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure that
    sleep(60000) doesn't sleep for 2 minutes on the other
    machine.I, wholeheartedly, agree.
    Due to timing issues it may seem to sleep a few milliseconds more, but not double.
    Of course, if there is a "real-time" (or even simply higher than the Java app) priority program running that is using a lot of the CPU it may seem like it sleeps a lot longer than 60000, but that is a different issue.

  • Have downloaded Adobe XI successfully, but how do I get it to show up in my virtual XP machine?

    Have downloaded Adobe XI successfully to my host Windows 7 Pro machine, but how do I get it to show up in the printer list of my virtual XP machine?

    You need to install it again in the VM.

  • LR 4.2 - not using virtual cores?

    I've just updated from 4.1 to 4.2 -
    First thing I noticed while exporting from NEF to jpg is this:
    Before my CPU would be rockin' along between 600-700% (2.2GHz i7 MacBook pro) - nearly all cores - 4 primary and 4 virtual (8 total) - would be being used.
    Now with 4.2 my CPU load is between 300-400%, with all 4 primary cores being used, but the 4 virtual cores just kinda hang out without being used.
    Something is different by example of the load it stresses on the CPU cores.
    But...
    That said, it all seems zippy enough and is totally usable.  I honestly couldn't tell you if it's exporting any faster or slower...
    Any ideas what's going on?
    Ben

    Lightroom 4.2 should have no problems recognising and importing Canon 5DMk3 files. Actually, I imported around 200 such files late last night. So, there is something else going on with your installation. Have you tried deleting the Lr preference file ?

  • I7 Question - Hyperthreading virtual cores

    So I have a new macbook pro with the 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and I have a question. I don't consider myself crazy knowledgable with Macs so I'm not entirely sure what's going on
    The guys behind the genius bar told me there was a way to push my processor to do 8 virtual cores instead of 2 using the developer tools. I don't really know my way around the code so I have no idea what does what. I've been looking through forums and such and I can only find people talking about disabling hyper-threading.
    I went into the CPUpalette and only see an option for disabling the already existing extra 2 cores.
    I ran the Mac OS X install DVD and installed the developer tools.
    If anyone could guide me through activating the extra virtual cores, that'd be sweet. Or just tell me if it isn't possible to do more than what's already activated.

    I'm not familiar with the hardware, but the i7 supports what is called "Turbo Mode." As I understand this mode is automatic. Depending upon core usage elsewhere processor turbo charging will occur as needed. Thus, it's possible to have all 8 v-cores running at normal speed when fully loaded or fewer threads at higher speeds.
    The Developer Tools contains a preference pane in the Extras folder that you might install, but I do not believe that "Turbo Mode" is user controllable since it's always turned on.

    Please delete the second DNS server.
    Also, disable all security softwares and try again.
    Are you able to ping the DC? If not, that may be a problem with your routes.
    Also, use nslookup to check that all is okay with DNS records.

  • Original 22" Cinema Display and G5 Dual-Core Machine

    Good Morning, All!
    Is there a special adapter or converter I need to run my old 22" Cinema Display on my G5? I had to go back to the Dr. Bot I had when I had the monitor on a G4 450. With the arrival of the G4 933, I was happily able to do away with the Dr. Bot "octopus" and take full advantage of all the display on-board stuff (power switch, USB ports, etc.) However, the new dual-core has forced me back to that friggin' Dr. Bot, even though the G5 books says it's ready for ALL Cinema displays. Well, obviously not mine.
    A part number and a place to purchase would be most appreciated!!! I got spoiled to the power switch on the monitor. It was really rather dumb for Apple to put a metal start-up button on the front panel of the G5. With the air as dry as it is right now, the static is horrible and I don't like giving the machine a jolt when I started up in the morning. I find myself having to ground to something before I ever touch the machine these days.

    Hi,
    Well I have just bought a Quad G5 that I was gonna
    use with my old DVI equipped 22in Cinema Display and
    now discover that the connector on the display has
    more pins than the connector on the video card. How
    am I supposed to get around that?!
    Are you sure the display is DVI (screw knobs), and not ADC (clips)?
    If it is DVI and has six round pins (2 X 3) in the middle that are not on the video card connector, the extra pins are for dual link, which is only used on the 30" display. Depending on which video card you have, one or both connectors may be dual link, but you don't need the extra pins for the 22" display.

  • Anyone Buy the New 8 Core Machine? and Why Over Previous 8 Core ?

    i know right now it's probably best to get a older 8 core, but what will it be that logic implements in their software that would make it worth spending the extra money for a new 8 core? 64 bit ? multi threading? and what specifically will the new machines give you that the old ones won't?
    would love to hear from some of you who did get a new one and why.
    thanks

    Well I found out the Quadro FX 4800 works on it, that looks pretty good.
    It's a good card, but it has a different application focus.
    What applications do you use?
    Answering that helps determine what the best card is.
    The 5800 is better though, will it work?
    Better, how?
    The spec's read better?
    How about real world performance?
    Benchmarks?
    They are very similar in shape and such.
    Shape has little to do with anything.
    The ROM is the key.
    If the card is not produced as "OS X compatible", it does not have Mac ROM and cannot be used.
    If there is a Mac edition that is similar (same GPU series, similar architecture) the ROM may be flashed to Mac ROM.
    Especially in Geforce cards, the ability to edit ROMs and even write portions of the ROM is necessary to be able to flash a card.
    Even then, no guarantees.
    Often a port on a flashed card won't work after flashing.
    Seems the 5800 has a 10 bit display port, so if the card were flashable, the display port wouldn't work.
    The ROM chip size of a card is also of concern.
    Many cards require either a new, larger ROM chip to accept the Mac ROM (soldering), or, require a hacked, "reduced" ROM to be written to allow flash.
    Invariably, there will be some feature loss with a reduced ROM, but a good hacker usually gets rid of superfluous stuff.
    Cards with more VRAM than the Mac counterpart will often times lose the extra VRAM- it won't be read by OS X.
    Then there is the EFI question, which often creates a final stumbling block for converting a card.
    There are many pioneers who flash cards.
    If a card is flashable, it has already been done.
    The Quadro 4500, 4800, and 5600 have all been worked out.
    As of yet, the 5800 hasn't been sussed out for flash (as far as I can find).
    Flashing the card is easy.
    Finding a physically compatible card and a compatible ROM are the hard parts.
    The two best retail cards for the Mac Pro are the Geforce GTX 285 and the Radeon HD 4870.

  • JAVA-Virtual Memory Machine appears low

    Since my update to 10.5.7 neither my Safari or Firefox is able to load large charts into the Java applet. My preferences for java cache is set to max 1000mb, compression set to none. If I reduce the data and size of the chart it will load. I never had this problem before. The following message comes up:
    "Memory in the Java Virtual Machine appears low. Continuing may result in an error. Press cancel to discontinue loading of this chart."
    Previously I would just press "Continue" and the chart would load. Not anymore.
    The first plugin in my Preference list is J2SE 5.0 32-bit
    Any ideas how to rectify this? Thx.

    Going back in time to an older version does sound like it might be the solution.
    Here is the site to download a chart: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=nem
    First however, when the chart opens, you have to go to the bottom and change the size to 1600, then add a bunch of overlays and indicator. This will increase the memory required the the Java applet. Once that is done, you click on the "Annotate" link directly at the bottom edge of the chart (next to the Print link) and that will load it into the Java applet. The first time it should load properly, but then fail the following times.
    It will be interesting to hear about your test.
    Thx

  • Adobe Reader wont open in Remote Desktop virtual pool machine

    I find it very odd that I'm not the only one who's tried to do this and got this error since its EXTREMELY easy to replicate... I'm trying to setup a remote desktop pool of 4 machines so my remote users can access them.  I'm doing a pool because there is never more than 4 users on at once and I'm setting them up to have personal Hard disk file so their settings are saved and they can still connect to any one of the machines since they are all indentical, Similar to roaming profiles.  Now the huge problem is I setup these machines with Adobe Reader 11 and when you log on as one of the users through the remote desktop program the adobe program will crash every time you open it.  After opening and crashing multiple times it will finally open but it will always have a window saying Adobe has experienced an internal error.  The program will also run extremely slow.  If I connect to the virtual box through Hyper-V as an admin or even local user the application will run perfectly normal..  Why wont it run when logging in through RDP and using the profile disks?

    Your log file shows you to be running v10.1.0.534. Could you please update to the latest version which is v10.1.1 and then try again. You can get it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
    Also, has a rule been created in the BeyondTrust Software application you appear to be using to allow Reader X to open in Protected Mode? That application might be interfering with the way Reader X operates. There's a demo on their site which might help: http://www.beyondtrust.com/Products/PowerBroker-Desktops-Windows-Edition/Product-Demo/
