Calculating acceleration

hi everybody, i have a question regarding measuring the acceleration. i have a basic idea how to do it but it doesn't work out for me.first of all acceleration is (V0-V1)/time. so what i do is the following: i make a case structure and every two seconds it jumps to true. when this happens the frequency value (coming from a squarewave generator) is transferred to a shift register. after another two seconds the case becomes true again and again this value is read. then these two values have to follow the formula i've given. but i can't find a way to "save" this second value.
hope i make myself a little bit clear on this...
hope someone can help me, it's probably something small or stupid. but i just can't find it.. been staring at this for a few hours and trying various things, but without result.
thanks a lot in advance
Solved!

oke, i found the solution. i'll post my VI here so if other people might need it.

How to accelerate by partitioning drives & how to distribute data among 'em

Dear forum,
I have read guide to storage acceleration and guides to phototoshop acceleration, but they always warn that the best solution depends on the work i do, the hardware i have, and the hardware i think i can afford to buy. I'm hoping that if i tell you what photoshop work i do, what hardware i have, and what hardware i'm intending to buy, you can tell me how to accelerate by partitioning my drives and how to distribute data among them. My biggest questions are about how big the volumes should be, and what should go on each volume. It sounds vague here, but I get more specific below:
THE PHOTOSHOP WORK I DO:
*wet-mount raw scans of 6x7 cm film using silverfast software on microtek artixscan 120tf 4000dpi scanner: resulting 16-bit TIFF file is typically 550 MB in size.
*working in Photoshop CS2 on same file, adding multiple layers makes file 1 GB to 1.4 GB in size
*my system's limitations show up most painfully when I OPEN a file (this can take five minutes) SAVE a file (this can take more than ten minutes!), when i FLATTEN the image's layers for printing (this can take 5 minutes), and when i CONVERT the file from 16-bit to 8-bit (this can take 5 minutes). most other operations in Ps CS2 are fast enough (not snappy, but fast enough) for me to stay with my current processor for the time being.
THE HARDWARE I HAVE:
*Power Mac G5 dual 1.8GHz, made in 2004, with only 4 slots for RAM (not 8 slots).
(I'm told this has quite limited bus speed, as compared with other dual-processor G5s, and that this hardware will not benefit much at all from adding a RAID array.)
*one internal seagate 80GB 7200rpm SATA drive. this is half-full (it has 39 GB on it): it holds my OS and my Users folder, but NOT my photoshop image files.
*one internal Western DIgital 400 GB 7200rpm SATA drive. this holds my photoshop image files, but not my user folder.(This WD drive turns out to cause the G5 to hang up occasionally, requiring a re-boot; to avoid this, i recently learned, i can connect it with a host card adapter [see below].)
*two 500 GB external firewire drives
*two 300GB external USB drives
*I have 2.25 GB of RAM, but I'm about to buy 2 more GB to max out at 4GB.
THE HARDWARE I'M INTENDING TO BUY:
*2GB of RAM, of course.
*two Hitachi T7K500 500 GB SATAII HD 16MB Cache 7200rpm drives to occupy both internal drive slots in the G5
*a 2-drive external enclosure to hold my old seagate 80GB drive and my old WD400GB drive.
*a seritek host card adaptor for connecting the external enclosure to the G5.
THE PLAN:
What follows is a combination of suggestions I have received about what I could do and my speculation about how I could do it. Please see my Questions, embedded in the lines below: I'd be very grateful for any amendments or directions you can offer on this topic.
Drive A: first newly internal Hitachi 500GB drive:
partition into 2 volumes:
first (faster) volume, "volume A1," of 100GB to hold OS and Users folder but NOT photoshop image files.
(Question: how much space should I leave free on volume A1 for optimum performance? is 50% free of 100GB optimal? is 60% free of 100GB better? Is 50% free of 150GB better still? or does that cut into the other volume's space too much (indirectly cutting into the space of "volume B1" on Drive B, which is to be the WorkDisk/ScratchDisk)?
second (slower) volume, "volume A2" of remainder GB (almost 400GB) as backup for 400GB "volume B1" of the OTHER internal Hitachi Drive, a.k.a. Drive B.
Drive B: second newly internal Hitachi 500GB drive:
partition into 2 volumes:
first (faster) volume, "volume B1" of almost 400GB as designated WorkDisk/ScratchDisk for large photoshop image files;
second (slower) partition "volume B2" (exactly 100GB) as backup for 100GB volume 1 (OS volume) of the OTHER internal Hitachi Drive, a.k.a. Drive A.
(Question: how much space should I leave free on this WorkDisk/ScratchDisk for optimum performance? is 50% free of almost 400GB optimal? is 60% free of almost 400GB better? Is 50% free of 300GB just as good, with the additional advantage of indirectly allowing "volume A1" on Drive A to be 150+GB?
Drive C: old Seagate 80GB drive, in external enclosure: disk designated for running the Photoshop Application? How would I set this up? any pitfalls to watch out for? should i partition this drive, or leave the whole thing for Photoshop? or is it better to run photoshop off Drive D?
Drive D: old WD 400 GB Drive: second scratch disk? Storage disk? Both storage and scratch disk? how large should an empty volume on this disk be in order to be useful as a scratch disk? volume 1 or volume 2? if i run the Photoshop Application off of this drive, how large should the volume for that be? should it be volume 1, the faster, outside volume, leaving volume 2 for scratch disk space? or vice versa?
External Firewire and USB drives: i guess i'll just use them for storage/archiving and extra backup? or am i much safer buying more SATAs and Enclosures? or are the external firewire and USB drives plenty safe (so long as i double-back up), since i'll only power them up for the data transfer, and then power them back down?
Given that the large Photoshop files are not in my User folder, does it matter whether i keep the User folder (with its MS Word docs and a bunch of PDFs and so on) on my OS volume, "volume A1"? would it speed things up when I'm using photoshop if i moved the Users folder to another drive? what if i'd like to play iTunes while also working on photoshop? my iTunes music folder (with all the song data) is already on an external firewire drive. but the iTunes Library and iTunes application are, of course, in my User folder, which is on the OS drive. would moving the Users folder to another drive make much difference when i use photoshop and iTunes simultaneously?
But I wonder whether it makes sense to be using volume A2 on Drive A as a backup drive: wouldn't it make more sense to back up my working files to two external drives that can be traded out, one on-site and one off-site, back and forth (not so convenient when one of the backup drives is internal!)? and after all, why would i devote a 400GB volume to the task of backing up another 400GB volume that will never be more than half full? I need to leave a WorkDisk/ScratchDisk half empty for efficient use, but i can back up that 200GB of working files on a 200GB volume, right? so for a backup drive, I might as well use a slow, inexpensive external USB drive that will only be tuned on for backup and will then stay powered off, a drive that's easily transportable on and off site, right? or am i misunderstanding something?
by the way, what backup software do you recommend for backing up back and forth between Drive A and Drive B? I've been using Carbon Cpy Cloner. do you recommend that? or something that does more archiving of progressive states of data?
Thank you for any help you can offer!
Sincerely,
Mark Woods

"No enought room on startup disk for Application Memory" when using the Accelerate Framework

Dear colleagues,
I am running what I know is a large problem for a scientific application (tochnog) a finite element solver that runs from the Terminal. The application tries to solve 1,320,000 simultaneous linear equations. The problem starts when I use the Accelerate Framework as the Virtual Memory size jumps from 142 G to about 576 G after the library (LAPACK) is called to solve the system.It does not do it if I use a solver that does not calls LAPACK inside Accelerate.
The machine is a mac pro desktop with 8 GB of ram, the 2.66 GHz Quad-core Intel and the standard 640 GB hard drive. The system tells me that I have 487 GB available on hard drive.
The top instruction in Terminal reads VM 129G vsize when starting. When I run the finite element application once the LAPACK library in the Accelerate framework gets called, the Virtual Memory (VM) jumps to 563 G vsize.
After a short while, I get the "No enought room on startup disk for Application Memory error"
This is a screen capture of the application attempting to solve the problem using the LAPACK library inside the Accelerate framework: Here are the numbers as reported by the activity Monitor.
Tochnog Real Memory 6.68 GB
System Memory Free: 33.8 MB, Wired 378.8 MB, Active 5.06 GB, Inactive 2.53 GB, Used 7.96 GB.
VM size 567.52 GB, Page ins 270.8 MB, Page outs 108.2 MB, Swap used 505 MB
This is a screen copy of the same application solving the same problemwithout using the Accelerate framework.
Tochnog Real Memory 1.96 GB,
System Memory Free: 4.52 MB, Wired 382.1 MB, Active 2.69 GB, Inactive 416.2 GB, Used 3.47 GB.
VM size 148.60 GB, Page ins 288.8 MB, Page outs 108.2 MB, Swap used 2.5 MB
I can not understand the disparity in the behavior for the same case. As I said before, the only difference is the use of Accelerate in the first case. Also, as you can see, I thought that 8 GB of ram memory was a lot.
Your help will be greatly appreciated
Best regards,
F Lorenzo

The OP had posted this question in the iMac Intel forum.
I replied along similar lines, but suggested he repost this in the SL forum where I know there are usually several people who have a far better grasp of these issues than I.
I would be interested in getting their take on this.
Although, I think you are coming to the correct conclusion that there are not enough resources available for this process, I'm not certain that what you are saying on the way to that conclusion is correct. My understanding of VM is that it is the total theoretical demand on memory a process might make. It is not necessarily the actual or real world demand being made.
As such, this process is not actually demanding 568GB (rounded.) As evidence of that, you can see there is still memory available, albeit quite small, in the form of free memory of 33.8MB and inactive of 2.53GB (the GB for that figure, above, seems like it might be a typo, since for the process when not using Accelerate the reported figure for inactive was 416.2 GB -- surely impossible) and 7.96GB used. The process, itself, is using 6.68GB real memory.
In addition, I question whether the OP has misstated the 487GB free drive space. I think that might be the total drive capacity, not the free space.
My guess is that it is the combination of low available memory and low free drive space prompting this error.
From Dr. Smoke on VM:
it is possible that swap files could grow to the point where all free space on your disk is consumed by them. This can happen if you are very low on both RAM and free disk space.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/2232469?messageID=2232469&#2232469
This gets more to the actual intent of your question...
EDIT: Looks like some kind of glitch right now getting to the Dr. Smoke post.

How do I accelerate and decelerate midi tracks(w/metronome) in a compostion

I have finished an arrangement in Logic, and need to adjust the tempo. There are two movements, but one goes right into the other, after a slight cadence. The first movement is at 110 bpm, but the second movement needs to start at around 80 bpm, and then build gradually back up to about 110 bpm over the next 30 measure or so.
How do I do this? Right now at the beginning of the second movement it naturally stays on 110 bpm and sounds terrible. I need it to stay on the click, but automatically change tempo to 80 bpm at the start of the second movement, and then accelerate gradually,like I said, up to 110.
Please let me know if you know how to do this.
Thanks.

At the top left corner of the arrange window you will see a sideways triangle next to the words "global tracks" - if you click on the triangle it turns to an upside down triangle and among other things you will see "tempo" next to another sideways triangle.
TIP: Sideways triangles mean that you can click them and they open something, in some sort of way. This is usually called a disclosure menu.
In the tempo track which you have just opened, there is a line that represents tempo at any given point. Use the pencil tool to create nodes that change the tempo, or double click. Move the cursor around and notice how it changes shape. Experiment with what those shapes do. What you want is a finger, that allows you to move a node and create ramps and curves in the line.

Why is my Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels check box disabled

Hello anyone!
I have all the requirements to meet Adobe's standards for GPU requirements, but this check box (Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels)[Edit>Preferences>Display] is disabled for me, why? Do I need to worry about this setting? Does it really matter? Any information on this topic would be helpful. Thanks in adavance for your feedback.
GPU Information:

Feature support levels
There are three tiers or levels, from lowest to highest requirements, of support:
Level 1: For OpenGL SwapBuffer:
This level simply requires a GPU that can do OpenGL 1.5, or greater, with Shader Model 3.0, or greater. Most ATI and NVIDIA cards, and the Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset (available in the MacBook Air, Mac Mini, various Windows machines, etc.) and 4000 (Windows only at this time) are supported. If your GPU does not support these requirements, software OS blitting like CS5.5 occurs, and there are improvements for software blitting in After Effects CS6, as well.
Level 2: For Fast Draft previews, Hardware BlitPipe, and Cartoon GPU acceleration:
Includes Level 1 features. This level requires OpenGL 2.0, or greater (with Shader Model 4.0, or greater, on Windows), and 256 MB, or greater, of texture memory. Most ATI and NVIDIA cards released in the past five years, plus the Intel HD Graphics 3000/4000, support this level.
If your GPU does not support these requirements, these features will be disabled:
Fast Draft mode
The "Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" preference.
The Cartoon effect's "Use OpenGL When Available" option (the Cartoon effect then runs on the CPU).
Level 3: For Ray-traced 3D rendering on the GPU:
Includes Level 1 & 2 features (for machines with attached monitors). This level requires a supported NVIDIA GPU and 512 MB, or greater, of texture memory. For a current list of supported GPUs, see the Adobe website.

Well, you should be concerned that it isn't available - there is still some configuration issue with your graphics card - but you can live without it most of the time.

When I try to drag and drop to combine events in iPhoto, the drag accelerates out of control when it reaches the top or bottom of the screen. How can I slow it down?

from iphoto Help
Album overview
A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
You can create photo albums to:
Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
Gather a decade of anniversary photos
iPhoto has two kinds of photo albums:
Standard photo albums: You create these albums (B, shown below) by selecting particular photos. You can add new photos by dragging them to the album (or using the Add To button), and you can remove photos at any time. All adding and removing is done manually; iPhoto doesn’t update standard albums automatically as you import new photos.
Smart Albums: iPhoto creates these albums for you, based on criteria your specify. iPhoto then updates Smart Albums (A, shown above) for you as your library changes. For example, you could create a Smart Album containing:
Photos of specific people, such as your family members. As you import new photos, iPhoto uses Faces to detect your family members, and automatically adds new photos of them to the Smart Album (after you’ve confirmed the matches in Faces).
All the photos of your daughter taken on school field trips in third grade. Use Faces (to name your daughter) and keywords (to mark certain photos or events as “field trips”) to help specify the photos you want iPhoto to place in that Smart Album.
Only photos taken with a specific camera, or photos matching other Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information.
You can make as many albums as you like, and you can include the same photo in several albums without making multiple copies of it.
After you create an album, such as “Australia Adventures,” it appears in your Source list below Albums.
In full-screen view, the album appears as a stack of photos below Albums.
To further organize your library, you can group several albums (along with slideshows and projects) into a folder. For example, you could create a folder containing several years of birthday albums or a collection of albums with photos of your camping trips.
To create a folder, see “Create a folder in the Source list and move items into it” in “Customize the Source list”.
Folders appear only in the Source list, not in full-screen view.
Note: A photo album is different from a photo book, which is a collection of photos you create to get professionally printed and bound. See this topic: Photo book overview.

Hints or tips for accelerate blob read

Generate Accelerating Quadrature Pulses

Hi,
I need to generate pulses that simulate a quadrature encoder with acceleration. I have digital output and counter output NI devices available. I have done vi's that start with the quadrature pattern as a 1-D array of Integers and clock those out to a digital port. This is fine for fixed speed output. It allows me to output a fixed number of pulses at a fixed speed, but it doesn't easily allow acceleration.
I need to be able to do accelerating pulse trains. This would simulate, for instance, a real encoder attached to a motor that is accelerated from one speed to another. It would be most ideal if I could accelerate from a fixed speed to another fixed speed using a fixed number of pulses for the whole pattern. This would simulate a device that has distance, speed and acceleration control simultaneouly, and that is exactly the type of device I am simulating.
Max pulse frequency will be a bit under 130kHz.
The most ideal situation would be for the width of each pulse in the train to change proportionally as the frequency changes, i.e. a smooth frequency ramp.
Thank you.
Mark Holm

Mark,
This was a fun little challenge.
It steps through a range of periods from beginning period to ending period. Internally the quarter period is used to allow generation of the quadrature signal by dividing by the frequency by 4. All timing inside the loop is done with integers to simplify comparisons.
The acceleration increment, Tau, is used to determine when the period changes. The accelration rate, dT/dTau, determines the amount of change in period at each increment Tau.
When iteration counter i divided by the current period has a remainder of zero, the encoder value is updated. The encoder consists of two booleans on shift registers with logic to implement a two-bit grey-code counter.
The booleans are changed to integers and offset to display on both a chart and a graph. The small delay in the grey-code case structure sets the speed of the displays.
The loop will stop when the Ending period is reached or when the user presses Stop. With the default values it runs about 10-15 seconds on my computer.
The VI was developed in LV 2013 and saved back to LV 8.0.

Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels - optimize

Hello.
The AE preference for "Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" makes my deep compositions workable - for a limited time, and then simple selection tasks slow down substantially, as if I had turned this checkbox off. What can I upgrade to have more "fast time" with After Effects? Thanks for any insight into how to make my system work. Also, this may be my last Mac.... Is anyone out there able to run hundreds or thousands of layers in After Effects on a PC without having simple select tasks slow down?
• simple selection task = "select all" in a single open composition with 10 layers or with 400 layers, although only in a project which contains deep compositions.
• This slowdown exhibits with or without caps lock enabled
• This slowdown exhibits before and after purge all

Are ps cs4 or cs5 accelerates by ati graphics card gpu?

Hi Guys,
Recently, I have purchased notebook ASUS G73JH A1, which comes with ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5870,
I have purchased adobe photoshop cs3 long time before, I heard from one of friends, new photoshop cs4 and cs5 accelerates by graphics card gpu, so I am planing to purchase cs4 or cs5, but is it really uses graphics card gpu, or its not correct?
Thanks,

Hi dec9
I went to ati website, for the mobility drivers, it asked me to go through the notebook vendor (which is asus)...
so from where can I get the 10.4 driver ( I can see the driver version is 8.683.0.0 and the driver date is 12/17/2009 ) ?

How to accelerate the activation of smartforms

Hi, I find the activation of smartforms too low, even if I make only one small change. Sometimes I need to go for a walk to kill the time.
Is it possible to accelerate this procedure?

hi
good
these things happens besicall for the below reasons-
1-the respective sap server must be slow.
2-due to some select statement that may taking lots of time to get the data from the database.
3- otherwise there would be some image file who is taking time to display in your smartform screen.
4-else there would be some other performance issue.
you plz check all those aspects.
