Bitmap data vs memory usage

Simple question
Usign cacheAsBitmap is usedfull in many case. I just
wondering if the memory usage used when a clip is set to true will
be free when the clip will be removed from the timeline.
I want to used cacheAsBitMap for some clip, but don't want to
load all the computer memory when the user come on my website.
Tanx for you help

Hi Pierre,
It sounds like the Windows user interface (UI) thread is requiring a lot of the CPU to update the front panel of your VI. When you minimize the screen and the UI doesn't need to update, you see a much lower CPU usage. So, there are a couple of changes you can probably make in your code to make the UI require less CPU to update. What types of front panel objects is your code using? If indicators are updating within a loop, can you change the code to make them update less often?

  • How to reduce memory usage when loading bitmaps from the library?

    When I use BitmapData.loadBitmap() to load an image from the library and then attachBitmap() to add it to a MovieClip it takes a lot more memory as opposed to just having the same image inside a MovieClip statically in a frame on it's timeline.
    The function dispose() not only clears the BitmapData object but also destroys the previously attached bitmap inside the MovieClip, so it can not be used to free any memory.
    Is it how it is supposed to be or is there any other way to dynamically attach bitmaps with memory usage comparable to just having them on stage?

    no, you use attachMovie() to create instance from library movieclips that have a linkage id.
    you can then create a bitmapdata instance and use the draw() method to overlay as many as needed.

  • The amount of memory used for data is a lot larger than the saved file size why is this and can I get the memory usage down without splitting up the file?

    I end up having to take a lot of high sample rate data for relativily long periods of time. When I save the data it is usually over 100 MB. When I load the data for post-processing though the amount of memory used is excessively higher than the file size. This causes my computer to crash because 1.5 GB is not enough. Is there a way to stop this from happening withoput splitting up the file into smaller files.

    LabVIEW can efficiently handle large files, far beyond 100Mb, provided that care is taken in the coding of the loading/processing routines. Here are several suggestions:
    1) Check out the resources National Instruments has put together (NI Developer Zone > Development Library > Measurement and Automation Software > LabVIEW > Development System > Optimizing Applications > Managing Memory), specifically the article entitled "Managing Large Data Sets in LabVIEW".
    2) Load and process the data in chunks if possible.
    3) Avoid sending the data to front panel indicators, using local/global variables for data storage, or changing data types unless absolutely necessary.
    4) If using LabVIEW 7.1, use the "show buffer" tool to determine when LabVIEW is creating extra
    copies of data in memory.

  • Problem with JTree and memory usage

    I have problem with the JTree when memory usage is over the phisical memory( I have 512MB).
    I use JTree to display very large data about structure organization of big company. It is working fine until memory usage is over the phisical memory - then some of nodes are not visible.
    I hope somebody has an idea about this problem.

    55%, it's still 1.6Gb....there shouldn't be a problem scanning something that it says will take up 300Mb, then actually only takes up 70Mb.
    And not wrong, it obviously isn't releasing the memory when other applications need it because it doesn't, I have to close PS before it will release it. Yes, it probably is supposed to release it, but it isn't.
    Thank you for your answer (even if it did appear to me to be a bit rude/shouty, perhaps something more polite than "Wrong!" next time) but I'm sitting at my computer, and I can see what is using how much memory and when, you can't.

  • Memory usage of excel stays high after Macro is executed and excel crashes after trying to close it

    Hi,
    I'm trying to resolve an issue with an excel based tool. The macros retrieve data from an Oracle database and do calculations with the data. They also open and write into files in the same directory. The macros all run and finish the calculations. I can
    continue to use and modify the sheet. I can also close the workbook, however excel memory usage I see in the windows Task manager stays elevated.If I  close Excel it says: Excel stopped working and then it tries to recover information...
    I assume something in the macro did not finish properly and memory was not released. I would like to check what is still open (connection, stream or any other object) when I close the workbook I would like to have a list of all still used memory. Is there
    a possibility to do so.

    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

  • Get CPU and memory usage

    Hi!
    I would like to know if there is any way of getting system CPU and memory usage using Java code.

    I want to get the system CPU and memory usage using the performance monitor dll, the perfctrs.dll, but access this data using Java language.Then you should create wrapper dll between your java code and perfctrs.dll and convert data from format of dll to format of your java code.
    So, that is next question - how to create wrapper dll, how to deal with or how perfctrs.dll works?

  • Tracking Memory usage on iOS using the Stats class

    I've been checking memory usage on an app I'm developing for iOS using the Stats class https://github.com/mrdoob/Hi-ReS-Stats ( http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/WS4bebcd66a74275c3-315cd077124319488fd-7fff.html#WS 948100b6829bd5a61637f0a412623fd0543-8000).
    I added the Stats class to my project and redeployed and, yikes, memory usage reported in Stats creeps up (pretty slowly) even when there's nothing happening in the app (just showing a loaded bitmap).
    To try and track down the issue I created a project with a test class that extends Sprite with just this single call in the constructor :-
    addChild( new Stats() );
    I deployed it to the device to check that it didn't gobble any memory.
    But I was Suprised to watch the memory usage creep up and up (to approx 5) before some garbage collection kicked in and takes memory back down. I left it running and then it crept up again to over 7.5 this time before being kicked back down to just below 3.
    So 2 related questions that I'd appreciate any feedback/observations/thoughts on :-
    1 - Is this normal (i.e. memory creeping up when there's nothing other than Stats in the project) ?
    2 - What is the best way to monitor memory usage within an app ? Is Stats good enough - is Stats itself causing the memory usage ?
    All the best guys !

    Also see thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4280020#4280020)
    My conclusions are :-
    - If you run an app and leave it idle, memory usage gradually creeps up (presumably as memory is being used to perform calcs/refresh the display etc)
    - Periodically the garbage collection kicks in and memory is brought back down
    - This cycle could be in excess of 5 mins
    Run with your real app and memory will increase and be released much more rapidly/regularly.
    - It's probably worth performing initial checks by running on your desktop to iron out any initial problems

  • Having a problem with Excessive "modified" memory usage in Win7 x64, upwards of 3.6GB, any suggestions?

    I have 6GB of ram, a fresh install of Windows 7 x64, and the screenshot shows what happens after leaving my PC on for a couple days. (3782+MB being used by modified memory ATM).
    http://wow.deconstruct.me/images/ExcessiveMemory.jpg
    Any ideas on this?
    Edit:
    Added this after first round of suggestions
    http://wow.deconstruct.me/images/NotSoExcessiveMemory.jpg
    This is uptime of around 2 hours.
    The first image is of uptime of around 3-5 days.

    Matthew,
    The only reason why these pages are kept on the modified list indefinitely is because the system doesn't have any available pagefile space left. If you increase the size of the pagefile the system will write most of these pages to disk and then move them from the modified list to the standby list. Standby pages are considered part of "available memory", because they can be reused for some other purpose if necessary.
    Whether this would "fix" the problem or not depends on what the actual problem is. If it's an unbound memory leak then increasing the size of the pagefile will simply allow the system to run longer before it eventually hits the maximum pagefile size limit, or runs out of disk space. On the other hand, if it's a case of some application allocating a lot of memory and not using it for a long time, then increasing the pagefile might be a perfectly valid solution.
    Allowing the system to manage the size of the pagefile actually works well in most cases. Pagefile fragmentation (at the filesystem level) can only occur when the initially chosen size is not large enough and the system has to extend it at run time. For win7 we have telemetry data that shows that even for systems with 1 GB of RAM, less than 0.1% of all boot sessions end up having to extend the pagefile, and this number is even lower for larger amounts of RAM. If you think you are in that 0.1% and your pagefile might be getting fragmented, you can manually increase its minimum size such that the total system commit charge stays below 80% even if you run all your apps at once (80% is the threshold at which the pagefile is automatically extended). This will make sure the pagefile is created once and then stays at the same size forever, so it can't fragment. The maximum size can either be set to the same value as the minimum, or you can make it larger so that the system is more resilient to memory leaks or unexpectedly high loads.
    By the way, Windows doesn't use pagefiles as "extra memory", it uses them as a backing store for private pages, just like regular files are used as a backing store for EXEs/DLLs and memory mapped files. So if the system really has more than enough RAM (like in your second screenshot, where you have 3.6 GB of free pages) you shouldn't see any reads from the pagefile. You can verify this by going to the Disk tab in the resource monitor and looking for any disk IO from pagefile.sys. On smaller systems that don't have an excess of free pages you may see periodic reads from the pagefile, and this is expected because the total amount of data referenced by the OS/drivers/processes is larger than the total RAM. Forcefully keeping all pagefile-backed pages in memory (which is what disabling the pagefile does) would simply mean some other pages (memory mapped files, DLL code or data etc) would have to be paged out.
    Regarding further troubleshooting steps: If the system runs fine with a larger pagefile (commit charge stabilizes well below 80%, and you no longer see gigabytes of modified pages accumulating in memory) then you don't really need to do anything. If the problem persists, you can check for any processes with an abnormally high commit charge, and also check kernel memory usage in task manager. If it's a kernel leak you can usually narrow it down to a particular driver using poolmon.exe or kernel debugger.

  • Problem with memory usage and CPU usage

    Hello,
    i have a problem with the memory usage and cpu usage in my project!
    My application must run for more than 24 hrs. The problem is that the longer it runs the bigger is the memory and cpu usage!
    It starts with ~15% CPU usage and ~70 MBytes memory usage. After ~ 24hrs the CPU usage is ~60% and the memory usage is ~170 MBytes!
    After  3 days the CPU usage is almost about 70% and the memory usage is about 360 MBytes!
    What can I do to reduce this huge recource usage?
    Thank you!

    Hi Pahe,
       I think the issue is memory usage, since CPU usage can increase due to greater memory requirements.
       Anyway, it's difficult to debug without seeing your code, can you post it (possibly for LV 7.1 compatibility)?  Or just post a JPEG of the piece of code that can give problems...
       I guess you're appending data to an array instead of replace data elements, but I can't be sure...
       Have a nice day!

  • SA520W - High memory usage, possible fix in 2.2.0 firmware?

    As suggested by Thomas Watts, I'm starting a new thread to discuss the new SA520W firmware (2.2.0) and a possible resolution to high memory usage I'm experiencing on my network.
    My current setup is: 16Mbit DSL > SA520W > SA300-10, all with stock settings (no fancy VLAN's etc.)
    I have 4 CentOS 5/6 servers and a Windows 7 Ultimate station connected to the switch. I use CIFS to connect from Windows station to the other Linux servers and send large files. I currently notice the following behavior:
    When the file transfer starts, the Intel 1Gbit NIC is nearly saturated, hitting 115MB/sec. After few seconds, the data transfer comes to a halt and the transfer speed drops to around 50MB/sec. If I check the memory usage before the file transfer, it is approximately to 50-60% (on a fresh router reboot). Every time I send large files to other machines, the router memory consumption increases and it does not lower after a reasonable delay. I end-up with high memory near 90% and the only solution I have is to reboot the router in order to bring it back to 50%.
    Now, Thomas told me that this is simply a cosmetic issue, the memory is not actually 90% used. Yet, when the memory hits this threshold, I'm not capable to send files are normal LAN speeds I'm used to. Rebooting the router allows me to send only ONCE (and for few seconds) data at the expected LAN speeds.
    I would apreciate any input from Cisco engineers as well other users who experience the same issue. I would also like to know if any related work was done into 2.2.0 firmware and when we expect to have it released to users.

    Hi Tom,
    See below the answers.
    Are you currently running the 2.1.71 code?
    Yes
    Are you using IPS?
    No, the LAN is for internal use (no external users allowed)
    Are you using Protectlink services?
    No
    Hardware wise, I did not changed anything on machines. All boxes have dual Intel EXPI9301CT NIC's (LACP was planned) but I currently use single connections for sanity reasons (disks won't allow greater speeds anyway). Previous to Cisco, I used a Netgear ProSafe router + switch which did not encountered the issues I mention. Honestly, at first I thought I'm dealing with some stupid disk issues on Windows. So I ran a quick test and the stats are proper:
    > winsat disk -drive c
    > Disk  Sequential 64.0 Read                   109.62 MB/s        6.5
    > Disk  Random 16.0 Read                       2.47 MB/s          4.4

    > Average Read Time with Random Writes         13.346 ms          3.7
    > Total Run Time 00:01:39.50
    As I mentioned before, everything is pretty much stock on router/switch settings. If you have any tips that allow me to identify the cause, I would appreciate the input. What puzzles me is the speed drop and quick memory usage increase. It occurs 7-10 seconds after the transfers begins. It looks like the data transfer hangs for a very short period of time (less than half of second) and the transfer speed decreases from 110-115MB/sec to 50-60MB/sec. The transfer is completed at this speed. No matter how many other files I try to transfer after, the speed won't go higher than 60MB/sec. If I reboot the router, I get the same cycle.

  • Slow performance, weird memory usage, hanging when closing safari tab

    Hi, i recently noticed that my MacBoo Pro was with low performance after some hours of use.
    I'm a heavy user, so I try to monitor what might be causing it. What i note was:
    After restart (or fresh start), my computer was ok;
    I use applications like adobe Lightroom and VMWare Fusion;
    Then I star feeling like Safari was too slow to open pages - I thought it was the internet link first, but even local webpages are slow. I notice that when a click to close a tab, it take almost 2 sec to do it. The same when click to open any link on that page.
    I start the activity monitor, but my proc usage are low. Then, I notice the (weird) memory usage:
    Take a look at "memory used". I closed all applications before take this screenshot. i've trying to identify what is consuming this memory, but.. no success.
    Anyone has any idea what can might be causing it?
    My HW information:
    all my apps are updated.

    Memory usage was normal when you took that screenshot.
    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  • Internet Explorer - Memory Usage

    Hi,
    I have developed a VC model and deployed it in the portal. When i execute the model in internet explorer 7 or 6, the memory usage keeps building up and does not drop even after getting all the data. I have got couple of popup iviews in the model which when executed increases the memory usage further more and eventually internet explorer stops responding.
    Currently the only way to clear the memory is to close the Internet explorer window. Is there any other way to flush out the memory after the data has been retrieved from the back-end.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

    Hi Ravi,
    I googled in and found few links which can be helpful to you.
    http://cybernetnews.com/browser-comparison-internet-explorer-firefox-chrome-safari-opera/ - which is all abut the memory tests which were conducted for various browsers including ie regarding the usage of memory.
    http://www.bigresource.com/PHP-Flush-clearing-buffer-3rXPLSop.html
    http://www.wimpyplayer.com/docs/howto/clear_cache.html - which tells about the way to flush out the browser memory for better usage.
    With Regards,
    Vipin Vijayan.

  • High RAM memory usage compared to other systems

    I'm suffering with memory usage problems, only in open 2 tabs of facebook(it's only for example, any 'heavy' page freeze also) in firefox*(for example also, but this occur in chromium also) freeze computer.
    I've 1GB of memory, it isn't big but also isn't very little.
    I'm using XFCE with compiz (yes, compiz, since use a very lightweight openbox-based session doesn't help, then compiz...) when system start (after login) system is consuming 130MB approximately of RAM.
    after 1 hour if close all open apps and see memory usage again consume is something about 350MB, "only solution" is reboot.
    all applications(htop,free -m,xfce's system monitor...) that I've tried to monitor memory usage show above scenario, except the 'ps_mem' script in AUR.
    in the 'ps_mem' script the result is following (with opera browser open, less memory offensive browser but I really prefer firefox):

    =================================
    as you can see in 'ps_mem' memory usage isn't nothing absurdly it's ok.
    another example, this problem stop me make certain things, for example is impossible browsing in web while programming in eclipse, this is very uncomfortable.
    other thing, this not occur in Windows XP, I can open more than 10 tabs in firefox, and eclipse open, etc...
    any needing information, tell-me!

    hotvic, could you please change the title to something more descriptive? 'memory problems' sounds like you have problems e.g. remembering / recalling things, which is not an Arch issue ;P

    I've had some limiting performance with browsers lately (Firefox and Chromium).  I found it had a considerable cache size utilizing lots of fragmented space on my home directory. I cleared the cache and have since set a limit to the cache size of 30 MB for Firefox.  Between multiple users across multiple browser sessions, I had at least 2 GB of cache data on my 10 GB home partition!  So far (1 day), this has been helpful.  Perhaps this could help you also?

  • Network stream fxp excess memory usage and poor performance

    I'm trying to stream some datas à highspeed rate (3 channels à 1Mbytes/s) from my 9030 to my windows host. Because i don't need to use data on the rt side, i choose to forward FXP <+-,24,5> to my host throug a network stream.
    To avoid data loose i choose to use a wide buffer of 6000000 with this buffer my memory usage grow from 441mo to 672Mo and my rio is unable to stream the data. 
    With sgl or double, memory usage is 441 to 491Mo and datas can be streamed continusly.
    Anyone have encoutered this problem?

    SQL Developer is java based and relies on the jvm's memory management.
    I'm not aware of any memory leaks as such, but memory tends not to be returned to the system.
    Queries which return large return sets tend to use a lot of memory (SQL Developer has to build a java table containing all the results for display).
    You can restrict the maximum memory allocated by modifying settings in in <sqldeveloper>\ide\bin\ide.conf
    The defaults are -
    AddVMOption -Xmx640M
    AddVMOption -Xms128M
