Blackfin TCP/IP transfer rates
Hello All
I have built an application on the Blackfin that reads out the value of the timers, and transfers that data over ethernet to a data collection host. It seems that the throughput of the Blackfin's TCP/IP subsystem is VERY slow. I am using the canned LabView TCP functions to transfer the timer data. It is taking about 15 seconds to transfer 3 seconds worth of data (32 bit word generated at 10KHz, or 320Kb/s data rate). Consequently I am losing data since the buffer is overflowing. The TCP Write vi seems to send whatever data it is presented in a single packet, so I have tried packing the data into larger groups, so I don't have to call the function as often. I have also flattened the data, to reduce the overall size. The speed is still way off the 10Mb/s ethernet rate. Is there a configuration setting I am missing, or is this normal?
Thank You
Sean Sexton
Hello Sean,
Are you using LabVIEW 8.2.1? If so, there are some known issues that may explain the behavior you are seeing. I have copied them below:
Using instrumented debugging (TCP or serial) with a Blackfin application that has a loop with no waits might cause LabVIEW to fail to connect to the Blackfin application
If you use TCP for debugging or the application uses TCP functions, you must wait at least two minutes after ending the debugging session before you can reconnect to the Blackfin target. As an alternative, you also can power cycle the target by unplugging and plugging the cable to the EZ-Kit
You must disable data caching if you enable lwIP TCP/IP support. If you enable both options when you build a Blackfin VI into a Blackfin application, the Blackfin application runs very slow or not at all.
Could the third bullet explain the behavior of your system? Try disabling data caching and see if your performance improves.
Thanks!

FTP/SFTP/FISH (etc) slow file transfer rate over LAN
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with transferring files over my home network that has been bothering me for quite some time.
I have a 802.11n router which should provide me with the transfer rate up to 150 Mbps (afaik). When I download files from the Internet, 3 MB/s data transfer rate is of no problem.
However, when receiving or sending data over LAN, the transfer rate is much slower (1.8 MB/s).
My rough guess is (after reading some papers on this topic) that TCP protocol is causing this (its flow control feature to be exact), since TCP max window size is too small on Linux by default.
So, setting TCP max window size to a greater number should solve this.
I tried putting this:
# increase TCP max buffer size setable using setsockopt()
# 16 MB with a few parallel streams is recommended for most 10G paths
# 32 MB might be needed for some very long end-to-end 10G or 40G paths
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
# increase Linux autotuning TCP buffer limits
# min, default, and max number of bytes to use
# (only change the 3rd value, and make it 16 MB or more)
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216
# recommended to increase this for 10G NICS
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 30000
# these should be the default, but just to be sure
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
in /etc/sysctl.conf but to no avail.
So either there is no problem with the max window size setting, or the Linux kernel ignores it (maybe because /proc is no longer supported?).
Thanks for any neat ideas.

RT to HOST transfer rate problem in cRIO-9073 ?
Dear Sir,
Since past 2 months I am facing a problem in data transfer in cRIO 9073.
I'm using two c series modules for data acquisition. NI 9205 for analog input and NI 9421 for digital input. Where Max sample rate of 9205 is 250kS/s.
All seems perfect from FPGA to RT data transfer using FIFO. I m able to read instant value in RT when I change given input. In FPGA I m successfully reading and transferring 32 samples per 200us. In RT I m reading 16000 samles from FIFO and push it into shared variable. (No time out occurs in FIFO) therefore all I can say I m acquiring perfectly till RT.
But when I tries to transfer dta from RT to HOST, at the time I m facing a problem. Host is updating 3-4 seconds late than RT. I have tried shared variable, TCP & Network steaming & faced same problem in all the cases.
I m not able to get that where the problem is? Because I can see instant change as per input in RT. dont know what happened between RT to Host data transferring.
Please do let me know what can be the possible reasons. Crossover Ethernet port or cable or chassis data transfer rate what can be the cause?????

HI -
I have recently moved from VMWare ESX to HYPER-V and love it! However, the network adapter shows 10gig and the Virtual Switch shows 10gig. My actual host adapter speed is set to 1GIG FULL. I am attached to a CISCO 4510 Switch. I have tried disabling certain TCP settings like RSS, TCPOffloading, Chimney, and DisableTaskOffload - set to enable for TCP Params. I can generally transfer from VM to VM or VM to HOST and ungodly speeds. But, when I transfer from VM to a system or server outside of the VM environment, network speed is right at 100mb.. I have tested this with Bandwidth Meter Pro. Is there something in the host server I am missing? I have not noticed any QoS or anything... Please help ! ;-)Hi Ron,
The speed of the files transfer between VM and Host or VM and VM really depends on the route the communication uses and the speed of the processor.
According to the architecture of the Hyper-V, a VM to VM file transfer will go VSC --->VMBus--->VSP--->VMswitch--->VSP--->VMBus--->VSC. Think of the VSP as a port on the VMSwitch.
As to your question, the file transfer rate on a VM to VM file transfer will be primarily determined by the speed of the processor as the entire event takes place in software. The VMswitch will report its speed as 10Gbps, but the actual rate is completely dependent on the speed of the processors and the load on the machine. It can be much faster than 10Gbps, or it can be quite a bit slower.
For "external" virtual networks, we only use the physical NIC if the traffic is between a virtual NIC and an external node. VM to VM traffic is still only bound by CPU. In other words, some connections are bound by the physical NIC and some only by the CPU.
If the host and the VM are attached to the same Hyper-V switch, then they are just like two VMs attached to the same Hyper-V switch. You can think of the Hyper-V like a physical switch, but it is actually a software switch with ports just like a physical switch has. In this case the data transfer speed is limited only by how fast the Hyper-V switch software can execute the instructions. This may be slower or faster than the nominal 10Gb/s. Since no hardware is involved, the hardware doesn't affect the speed of the transfer.
If the host and the VM are attached to different Hyper-V switches, or the host is directly connected to the network (i.e., not connected to a Hyper-V switch), then the VM to Host communication will go via the external network, the physical network that joins the VM’s NIC to the host’s NIC. In this case the data transfer rate is limited by the slower of the Hyper-V switch(es) involved, the NICs involved, and the physical network components traversed by the data. Without knowing the details of the data loads, the hardware and software components, the host processors, memory, etc., it isn’t possible to determine what the limiting factor will be.
We run file copy tests between VM's running on External and then on Private and noticed a significant improvement on private where it took ~30mins vs about 4 hours on External.

File transfer rate is very bad on my new W520. Help needed....
Hello,
I have a usb 2.0 hi speed flash drive which has transfer rates of 15Mb/s. But When I am trying to copy a movie (under 3 gb) from my W520 to the flash drive the speeds that I observe is 6Mb/s which is very slow. Initially, I though I have an issue with the flash drive but when I used my 3 year old dual core xps laptop to copy a file, I observed the speed of 15 Mb/s. If not high speed atleast I am expecting to see 15Mb/s with my W520. Really wierd!!!
BTW... I am running my W520 at "Maximum Performance" power profile. And I see my clock speed always at less than 1 ghz while copying the file but when i do other stuff i see my clock speed hitting 3.2 ghz....
Any thoughts on whats going on???
My system is Thinkpad w520 2710 with 8 gb of ram....
Thanks
RobustmHi robustm
From what I know, the problem lies with Windows 7 (throttling)
How about copying to USB drives? the speed should be around 30+ - 60MB, depending on the file type also.
1. You could also try updating Intel Chipset driver
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=816&DwnldID=20019&ProductFamily=Chipse...
et+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Chipset+Software+Installation+Utility&lang=eng
2. You could try using SpeedGuide TCP Optimizer, which resolves Network Throttling and Slow file transfer problems for some. (Set as Optimal)
http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
3. You could go to Computer Management (compmgmt.msc), Device Manager, Disk drives, double-click your USB device, policies, set as Performance.
* Note: This may require you to Safety Remove the device, due to caching for performance.
Hope it helps
Happy Holiday

Last edited by Inxsible (2011-03-27 04:40:49)I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section. -
KT3 Ultra ARU Slow HD Transfer Rates
Hello,
First, please see my system information at the bottom of this message.
I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU motherboard and have installed a Maxtor ATA133 60GB hard drive with 2 MB cache. The hard drive is jumpered as Master and is connected all by itself on the IDE1 ribbon cable. On IDE2 I have a CDRW (Master) and a CD-ROM (Slave). My other hard drive (WD 120GB ATA100 8 MB cache) is on IDE3 and is set up in RAID 1+0 stripe.
I recently ran the Sandra file system benchmark on my hard drives with what I think are very discouraging results. My Maxtor drive on IDE1 scored 32 MB/s and my WD drive on IDE3 came in at 23 MB/s. Those are some stinky results aren’t they?
I checked my Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers and it indicates that for my Primary IDE Channel the current transfer mode for device 0 is Ultra DMA Mode 6. I don’t know how to check the transfer mode on my IDE3 hard drive.
Question #1: Are my 32 MB/s and 23 MB/s results slow for my hardware?
Question #2: If these results are slow, how can I increase the transfer rates?
Please help!
Thank you!!!!

Gigabit ethernet + TC doesn't mean gigabit transfer rates to the TC drive..
Alright.... I've spent a ton of time trying to figure this out (probably more than I should have) and I thought I'd post my findings so that either a) I'll save someone else time out there or b) someone can tell me I'm a complete moron
So I had an airport extreme. I replaced it with a Time Capsule. I have a Windows (boooo) PC connecting directly to my TC using a gigabit ethernet card (which I bought specifically connect it to the TC) so (I thought) I could enjoy gigabit transfer speeds to the internal hard drive from the wired PC. I had some fun plans of shoving my itunes directory on the TC and letting appletv sync (yes through my pc) and keeping lots of videos there, etc. Who cares - it'd be at gigabit speeds! But, in reality, things didn't quite work that way (though my itunes directory does still live on my TC...for now).
Well, I had a semi-unique situation to do some pretty massive testing because I have 2 gigabit network cards, 1 100mb network card, and a wireless-n network card and two internal hard drives - both very fast. I also tried Cat 5, Cat 5e, and a Cat 6 cable.
And here's what I (think I) figured out:
The hard drive in TC can not achieve gigabit transfer speeds. Your transfer rates will be limited by the IO to the hard drive. In fact, it can't even come close.
Using my "fastest" setup - so Cat 6, fastest internal drive, gigabit ethernet, and transferring a file exactly 1 gig in size I was able to have a sustained transfer rate of 140 megabit per second - that's 17.4 MB/s for folks not wanting to do the math (that's reading FROM the TC. Writing TO the TC dropped the speed down to 106 megabit/second or 13.35 MB/s). Going to a 5e cable knocked that down to 130 megabit a second. Putting in a Cat 5 cable knocked me down to 110 megabit a second. Switching between my two gigabit network cards did nothing. Switching my cards between two computers did nothing.
Now, just changing the above setup to use my 100Mb network card resulted in these results: 67 megabit read (8.4MB/s) and 65 megabit write (8MB/s)...
And using wireless N, I got about 10MB/s up and down.
And just as a final test, connecting my two computers together using the 2 gigabit network cards through the TC, I was able to achieve standard gigabit speeds.
SO what does this all mean?
I think the IO to the hard drive in the TC can only read at about 140 megabit/s and write at about 110 megabit/s. I'm not sure if it's the HD itself or how it's connecting to the TC - but that's why I'm not aware of anyone getting faster transfer rates to the drive in the TC (maybe you guys are?). The gigabit ports themselves are fine - and if you're doing anything from one gigabit port to another gigabit port you'll be fine.
So stop beating yourself up trying to find some elusive XP specific issue with gigabit transfer rates (though vista had a problem - shocker), or that you must have a defective gigabit card (which is why I have two cards now instead of one :)), or that your cable must be bad ("maybe my cat 5e isn't good enough?")... it's just this drive ... or how the drive is connecting to the network - can't handle the gigabit speeds.
Unless someone else out there has another explanation? Do these speeds mesh with what you're seeing in "optimal" situations? Or maybe there's just a throttle switch for goobers like me using Windows instead of MacOS!Hi,
the interfaces available today which connect your drives integrated electronics to your computer can handle that speeds. but the drive itself is limited by the mechanical things going on in there
You can get such transfer speeds if the data you request is in the cache of the drives internal electronics for example. Some drives have 8 MB of cache memory. So if you request to read or write less than 8 mb and (in the read case) you are lucky enough to have those few megabytes cached then you may get that performance

Determining Data transfer rate through modem in java
Hi,
I want to write an application in java which will communicate with
connected modem of the system and it will detect the data transfer rate.
I want to know how much data is transferring(upload/download)through modem and in a specific time how much data is transferred.
I will give some max upload/downloading limit for a specific time and if data transfer exceeds that limit,it will show message.
e.g if i fix max upload/download data transfer limit by the modem is say 10GB/20GB for a specific time span say for 15 days.Then my program automatically will start when the Modem will be connected and keep a log of data transfer(upload/download)and if data transfer goes beyond limit then it will show message.Also i would be able to see how much data is transferred for any specific day.
I want to know this type of application is possible in java.If yes then
which API's i need to use.
If this type of program is available in some site in other language then also i will be helpful.Pl give the links.

PradiptoHi,
i want to do it in java only to explore the power of
java.I agree with Abuse, Java is not designed for such applications. I'm not even sure if you can solve your problems with Java. -
How to achieve the maximum file transfer rate from PXI to local host?
I will have to copy a huge amount of data (as big as 50 GB) from a PXI-8106 unit on site to a laptop. Currently it would take several hours. It is critical to max out the data transfer rate.
The standard method we've been using is just drag and drop using Windows Explorer via FTP. I tried to use FTP VIs with Filezilla Server as well but the transfer rate is only like 1.5 MB/s. Is this normal? Once I saw it was 3.0 MB/s but for some reason, that isn't happening now.
For another option, I tried to transfer data to a USB flash drive but it's even slower. As far as I know, USB 2.0 transfer rate is supposed to be around 60 MB/s but why would it be slower than 1.5 MB/s? What could be the speed limiting factor in my file transfer setup?
Any tips on improving file transfer rate would be appreciated!Sustained 40 MB/s? That is my dream speed! The maximum speed I've ever seen here was about 25 MB/s, which is still very good, and that happened only after copying back and forth, which I explained above. Let me go through what I did with screencaps first.
These are the test tdms files to transfer in the PXI: an original file witten in the PXI and its copy file. I copied the original file from PXI to laptop and renamed it (added '_copy') and then copied it back to PXI.
FTP module is transferring the original file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the low speed.
FTP module is transferring the copy file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the higher speed.
This is the FTP sub VI I'm using. It transfers files in sub-folders (one level lower), too. The data connection is set to 'passive' on the FTP Put Multiple Files VI but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I attach the sub VI.
You tried the file transfer with a 500 MB text file. Would there be any difference if the file type was tdms? Would the RAM size matter? It is 2GB here.
And the LED is orange, which means Gigabit.
Another question: Is there any way to programmatically stop file transfer in progress? Currently, I just have to restart the PXI.
Thank you!

What is max internal hard drive transfer rate compatible with a 2007 MacBook Pro?
In attempt to upgrade my mid-2007 MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), I bought a Seagate 750GB listed as compatible with my computer on MacSales.com . . .
Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Solid State Hybrid Drive -Bare Drive
Installation appeared to go well and I ran an extended hardware test with no issues found. However, the drive is listed at 5.46 TB (would be nice) and I get an input/output error when attempting to partition. I can initiate an erase, but after the time I would suspect it would take to erase the drive, I get an input/output error - it seems to appear after the first 750 GB of the '5.5 TB' was erased. At all times, the drive is not recognized when I attempt to install OS X from original discs.
I suspect the 6.0 GB/s transfer capacity of the hard drive is not compatible with the MacBook Pro. The drive came with 4 jumper pins but no jumper and no label diagram to set a slower transfer rate. I called Seagate, Newegg, OWC, and Apple, but no one has compatibility info for my MacBook Pro. To them, it appears I am running the first tests of this new technology with an 'older' MacBook Pro.
My MBP has had no issues - I'd like to keep her going with the optimum internal hard drive capacity, but don't necessarily want to set up a test bench in my house (though my kids would enjoy destroying it) and pay several shipping and restocking fees to test new hard drives.
The original drive had a 1.5 GB/s transfer rate. Does anyone know the maximum transfer rate compatible with a 2007 MacBook Pro? 3.0 GB/s? 1.5 GB/s? Thank you.No spinning hard drive will transfer data faster then 60-80MB a second. The XT models have a flash storage area that is used when reading and writing data that can make it Appear faster in some situations. That flash memory if only 8 or 16GBs in side, I forget which one.
The drie is rated to work on 6GB SATA bus but it certainly can not transfer data that fast. It should be backword compatible to work on slower buses.
Your drive is 750GBs in size. Not wure where you are getting this 5.5TB (that is 5.5 Tera Bytes which is 5500 Giga Bytes. Your drive is under 1TB)
What are you using to partition the drive? Disk Utilities from the original install DVD?
You need to install on your old drive, Update it from the Apple Website then clone it to the new drive. The version of OSX you are using may not function correctly with that large of a drive. Or get yourself a copy of Snow Leopard, retail disk for $29 from Apple, and do all the partitioning and installing with that version od OSX. -
How can I check the data transfer rate of my FW800 port
I have an iMac 2.4 20 inch (MB323LL/A) with a Lacie external rugged hard drive (320 GB). I have attached it using my FW800 port with the cable supplied with the drive.
It seems slow to me so I was wondering if there is any way to see what the current data transfer is for a backup in progress. Of course it should be 800Mbps but is it really moving at that speed ? How can I tell what speed it is transferring at ? Can I use the same method for USB ports too ?When you move a large file, you are more likely to see a sustained transfer rate than a small file. Small files have to be individually read/write back and forth, thus slows the actual transfer rate down. If you are moving any file up to 4 GB and probably over 1 MB you'll see more realistic transfer rates. Furthermore your hard drive access time, and RPM figures into the equation too, as well as how much RAM you have. 800Mbps works out to 100 Megabytes per second under ideal conditions.

Slow transfer rate to time capsule - 2nd generation - mb pro 5ghz
alright
have time capsule with dual networks, macbook pro with n enabled connected to 5ghz network with full bars, yet while copying files to the time capsule, it seems slow
500kbs per second
about 7 min to copy a 744mb file to time capsule (according to finder)
time capsule connected via ethernet to 2wire 2701hg modem + wireless router ( wireless turned off )
configure ipv4 using : dhcp
ethernet wan port: automatic
connection sharing : share a public ip adress
ipv6 : link local only
wireless options
country - mexico
multicast rate - high
transmit power - 100%
use wide channels
any ideas?
thanks in advanceHi,
In the Manual Setup->Advanced->Logs and Statistics page of Airport Utility you'll find information on wireless signal quality for each client connected. Primarily, signal quality will determine the connection speed of your file transfers, the best you can do to improve things is to find a wireless channel with the least interference, Manual Setup->Wireless.
My Macbook Air connection is showing -66 Signal, -89 Noise, 122 Rate which gives me a wireless file transfer rate in bursts from 500kbps to 22Mbps. Time Capsule is not the fastest combo device, even file transfers over LAN Ethernet are around 50% slower than a regular Airport Extreme and I've found transfers to the disk from a GigE connected Mac Pro top out at around 60Mbps.
The Time Capsule is more useful as a convenience tool than speed I think so just be patient. -
Difference in data transfer rates between winXP and Linux server?
Hello all,
I am using a winXP laptop to act as my server (all usb external hard drives are connected to it) but the data transfer rates can be really slow. Is Linux faster in that regard? Can a Linux based server provide faster data transfer rates?
Thanks for any help.
Bmora96Linux cannot make hardware go any faster - so if WinXP and its drivers are making optimal use of those USB drives and the USB data transfer pipe, Linux will not make it faster. (but installing Linux and going Tux are always excellent ideas that need no real reason either ;-) )
Real question you should be asking is if using a notebook in a server role is wise thing to do? -
Extremely slow transfer rate from iOmega eGo to iMac
I am using a brand new 27" iMac and an iOmega eGo 2TB hard drive (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374133,00.asp). The drive has it's own power source and is connected to my computer via USB.
I'm trying to transfer files from the hard drive to my new iMac and the transfer rate is painfully slow. They are files from my old MacBook which I sold last week.
When the disc is not mounted, it seems to function normally - it's blue indicator light is consistently on and it sounds right. However, when I mount the disc and begin using it - in this instance to transfer files, it goes extremely slow. The blue light will mostly remain off, then interminnently flash on and onscreen a small amount of data will move.
Through disk utility I was able to successfully verify and repair the disc, but it's still behaving this way. Can anyone help?
