Can Acrobat 9 Multi-Thread (use all my cpu cores)

i have several 700+ page thick PDF documents i want to run OCR on. i can batch run them just fine, however i cannot get adobe to use more than one core of my 8 core iMac. so the process takes needlessly long because 87% of my CPU power is just sitting idle. i also cannot do anything with adobe while it is running its OCR program.
is there a way to force acrobat to be multi-threaded?
is there a way to use it for other things while its working?

Nope, no version of Acrobat is a multithreaded application. See the first bullet point: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/DevFAQ_Introduction.21.16.ht ml

Why can't I make Lightroom use all the CPU-Power (all cores) available for generating Previews?

Dear Lightroom Team,
I've been a Lightroom user since the very first Beta, and I am truly happy with the work you deliver. It changed my way of editing forever, and you guys keep improving it.
Yet there is that one question that bothers me, and that i'm looking for an answer for.
My Workflow has the generate Previews checkbox checked by standard. I usually import between 150 and 2000 photos at once, on occaions it can be up to 5000 photos. Generating Previews always takes a significant amount of time, and Lightroom is only using 25% of my CPU Power while doing so. (using a MacBook Pro 8,2)
I understand the concept, that only using 25% CPU enables me to use the computer while waiting for the Previews. But most of the time I just grab myself a cup of coffee, do the dishes or other stuff, while waiting for the Previews. Usually I rund out of things to do, because it takes ages to Process all the photos. So I would really love to make Lightroom use ALL the cpu power possible.
I'm sure you guys have spent a lot of thoughts while coding this and have a very good answer handy. Looking forward reading it!
all the best,
Wolfgang

On my four-year old Windows 7 i7-860 system LR4.4.1 takes ~0.5 sec. per Canon 5D MKII 21Mp raw image to render 'Standard-Sized' previews with LR Catalog Settings 'Standard Preview Size' set to '2048' pixels. I consider that pretty fast!
I usually build 1:1 full-size previews on import, which takes ~5.0 sec. per image. Processor utilization varies between 15-50% for Standard-Sized previews and 15-65% for 1:1 previews. I consider this pretty slow, but it doesn't stop me from working on the images inside LR's Library and Develop modules.
I wait until 'Copy and import photos' has completed and can see Preview Building has started. LR doesn't slow-down much even with the 1:1 preview building going on in the background. Have you tried working in LR during the preview building (i.e. sorting, rating, keywording, and Develop adjustments)?

Syslogd process uses all available cpu & console app won't run.

I have a Mac Mini (G4 power PC) running 10.5.5. Just recently after several minutes the system never wakes. It just shows the SBBOD. All I can do is hold down the power button and reboot. When the system reboots, using the activity monitor, I see that the process named syslogd uses all available cpu. I can still do things, but the cpu is saturated.
I took a snapshot of the syslogd process, and I can post it here if anyone thinks it might help.
If I activate the console application, the window comes up then hangs with the SBBOD.
The syslogd process uses all available cpu right after reboot, and does so regardless of which user (including root) is logged in. Attempting to kill the syslogd process with the activity monitor does nothing

Thanks! It took a long time for the disk utility to fix the permissions, but as soon as it did, the logger process calmed down. Looking at the log file now, I see it was my McAfee virus scan causing the logger to flip-out.
I'm now looking for a new MAC anti-virus program.

Database uses only one cpu core from 16 available

Hi,
we have an server with 16 CPU cores, and we discovered from em that it uses only 1 core with 100% and the others are idle.
the initialization parameters for CPU are:
cpu_count 16
parallel_threads_per_cpu 2
resource_manager_cpu_allocation 16.
What can we do to use all 16 cores.
Regards
Nicoale Ancuta

Very interesting poit of view, but since I have for some period of time 1 core on 100% and other cores are idle or 0%,
I don't think that we can say that linux and oracle database 11g is using the best from that server, can you?Well, I did not offer a point of view. I offered fact - a reason why on x86 architecture it is faster to keep threads on the same CPU (if sufficient CPU capacity) then run such threads across CPUs.
As for what you are seeing - we cannot see it. So the only data we have is what you offered. And that does not suffice in making any kind of call as to why you are seeing, or even describing the symptoms correctly.
Why don't you try another example? 3 client server applications. Each client post a request (huge update 100% CPU, small update 0% CPU, huge select 100% CPU). What the server does, it switches between those 2 huge requests an uses only one core on 100% abd the others 15 are sleeping. Why don't use each request on different core and reduce the time?Define "+huge request+". Database operations are typically I/O intensive - not CPU intensive. There are also a number of processes. So if PMON for example is showing high CPU, then that means something different as when DBWR is showing high CPU, versus a dispatcher process showing high CPU.
So you need to provide a lot more detail for us to speculate as to what the problem could be, never mind offering a solution.

How do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...

First, did you use Setup or Migration Assistant? That can happen when coming from a PowerMac or sometimes even from another (Intel) Mac.
Second, wait for the next version of Final Cut due very soon to ship (may have to wait for the ".1" of course to clean up any early issues.
Final Cut Pro - Wikipedia
There are a few apps that are better. I think you can run multiple instances of Handbrake for one.
I've read about and wanted to try PowerDirector 9 (Windows)

Lightroom 6 / CC2015 - Facial Recognition Terribly Slow, not using all of CPU or GPU, still keeps going when paused.

This is actually a couple of issue but wondering if others are experiencing it and worked through it.
I am using a Dual Xeon CPU 3.2 ghz Mac Pro, Catalog on SSD, Images files on Mirrored Pair, Dedicated GPU (max I can install in my version of Mac Pro) and hardware acceleration enabled in Lightroom.
I watched the Lightroom 6 Facial Recognition tutorial which leaves out a lot of the bulk editing and says basically let it loose on your whole catalog.. NOT recommended.
I started out with a couple small portrait galleries that identified a couple hundred total people to seed facial recognition so it didn't suggest everyone is the first person I confirmed (which it will do otherwise). I have also optimized my catalog multiple times.
I have encountered the following serious performance issues and bugs with Facial Recognition.:
Lightroom Facial Recognition goes to a ridiculous crawl after about 2000 images to be confirmed. (i.e. 2000-2300 in a couple hours, 800-1200 in the next 12 hours)
Lightroom becomes largely unresponsive after having a fair number of images to be confirmed, even after pausing Address and Facial Recognition. So even selecting 4 rows of images can take 5 minutes with several long pauses.
Once I select and click confirm it takes up to 2 minutes to update the "to be confirmed" list again.
When I click on an individual at the top of the page, pause facial recognition and address lookup it still continues to "Look for similar faces" [BUG!!!!!!!!] even though all I want to do is just confirm some individuals more quickly in bulk with the images already identified.. not continue to look for more as a work around for the painfully slow responsiveness of the module.
The odd part is that with all of the performance issues Lightroom will not use more than 20-30% of my two Xeon CPUs, barely touches my GPU (<10% CPU, 30% memory), my and no more than 35% of my memory. Computer Temps are also barely above startup temperatures and 15-25 degrees cooler than when I run other applications which will consume my entire CPU and memory if I let it. I have explored Lightroom's settings but seen nothing further I can configure to speed it all up. I have also attempted the operation on images on the SSD, my drobo (known to be slow), an independent fast disk I have, and a pair of raided disks and have the same issues.
I will also note that all of my other applications seem to continue to operate just fine.. the slowness seems to be contained to the Lightroom application itself.

Anyone have any suggestions?

A big problem continues to be that once you wait for it to index all your faces you find it missed over half of them. There are many cases where it missed the subject of the photo but managed to find a tiny waiter off in the shadows. I don't know how this will ever get fixed; it seems it'll require an update that lets you rerun the indexing a few times, maybe with different levels of granularity. I doubt that's coming.
It stands to reason that a system that hands you thousands of false positives for every face can't recognize if something is or isn't a face in over half the cases. Faces in profile or tilted down, especially with the eyes looking down, are bypassed completely. I have directories with a thousand people shots in them, many with multiple people, and instead of LR6 returning an index of 1.5k or so, it gives me 385. I'm not sure how valuable the search advantages will be in this case; I can see it not returning some favorite shots of people.
Anyway, for anyone looking to get past the spinning wheels, work on one directory at a time. Then once a directory is done, keep it selected so you have the same thumbnails of identified faces in the confirmed area, and control-select the next directory. You won't have to reseed the confirmed faces area this way and things move much faster when you're not working with the entire library. It also helps to click each person in the confirmed faces and work in that view sometimes. It'll return faces of family members of that person and you can rename those. You can watch it focus its top results as you confirm but, annoyingly, it doesn't narrow the total suggestions but actually expands them the more faces you confirm and the fewer correct positives remain. (This seems opposite to how it should work. It should give you fewer faces the more you confirm as it gets a better idea what the person looks like and has fewer shots left unconfirmed of that person.) Yet, even with the expanded results, faces will still escape it and pop up in other people's results as false positives.
Bottom line: It's only a little better than manual tagging, and not as thorough because of the poor hit rate of the initial indexing. But it works better if you stick to isolated directories and occasionally individual people. At least that way you don't have to wait for it to re-sort tens of thousands of results with every click.

Can Essbase uses SGI 80 CPU core, 960GB super computer Octane III?

Recently SGI annouced a super computer that can support max 20 Intel Xeon X550 series CPU (total 20 * 4 = 80 CPU cores) and 960 GB memory (96GB * 10). Can Essbase support this kind of hardware deployment to gain maximum system performance?
The server can be used for Linux or Windows Server 2008 platform.
http://www.sgi.com/products/servers/octaneIII/
http://www.sgi.com/pdfs/4177.pdf

Is Essbase supported on Windows Server 2008? If so, why not. Wintel is wintel is wintel.
And I know you would be just the guy for this box. :)
Are you seriously considering this for Essbase? It would be fun to throw some benchmarking tests at a box like that. If your company buys this beast and applies it to Essbase, please tell us all about it, really.
Once upon a time, Hyperion used to taunt Oracle with benchmarking tests against Express or whatever Oracle called Express/OFA back then.
So, how fast do you think Sample.Basic would run on this machine? :)

Logic pro x using all of cpu

Downloaded 10.4 Logic Pro X on Oct. 27 and immediately started noticing the HD and or fan coming on frequently. Today I used the activity monitor and sure enough it's clearly Logic take ALL the CPU resources. I increased the buffer as well as removed all peripherals and this did nothing to solve the issue. I did not have this problem with V.9 or V.x when it first came out. I can hear the drive/fan come on for no reason, making a lot of noise (thus impossible to record with mic in the room which was never a problem before) and the activity monitor indicates Logic is the culprit. Then Logic starts acting irratic and buggy and I have to shut everything off and reboot. Even loading a new song with one small audio region, Logic takes all the resources. I have a MAC Book Pro with 8mg and 400gig hd, no additional 3rd party plugins at this point and not running ANY other software while using Logic. I'm a musician, not a a computer expert. It has become impossible to work. I like some of the new features in X and don't want to go back to 9. Solutions anyone? Thanks in advance.

All the automation dissappears too! I regularly have to open backed up sessions to get everything back.
Is anyone else having this issue... or is it just me?
Best wishes,
Jon

Messaging Server 4: imapd uses all available CPU

Busy IMAP servers consume all available CPU capacity.

Customers with many (100+) simultaneous client IMAP connections may find that
imapd runs very slowly. This problem is caused by IMAP commands sent by the
client regarding shared folders.

Newer versions of Communicator send less CPU intensive commands. Netscape
recommends that customers upgrade all clients to Communicator 4.5 or later.

Customers with Messaging Server 4.03 and later can disable discovery of
shared folders by clients. Mail administrators who do not use shared folders may wish to turn off
shared folders with the follwoing command:

configutil -o local.store.sharedfolders -v off

Shared folders are controlled by a configdb
parameter that is not in the default list of configdb parameters.

How can I make app use all available space in window?

Hi,
I'm trying to embed my flash app in a browser window and have
it use all available space. I've found plenty of tutorials online
that tell me how to make it take up the whole window, and they
work, but that isn't what I want. I have other content on the page
(a bar of links across the top). I thus want the flash app to take
up the full width and almost all the hight, leaving enough vertical
space for the link bar at the top. Right now, I have it set to 100%
for both height and width in the object tag, and it displays the
link bar, but the bottom of the flash gets chopped off (an amount
exactly equal to the height of the link bar). It seems that setting
height=100% means 100% of the full window height, not the unused
height. Is there any way to make it do what I want?

I believe the 100% will be relative to the parent container
of the Object/Embed tag.
If the Flex app is in say, a DIV that is correctly sized,
then 100% will fill the DIV. So I think you will need to get your
div sizing dynamically. A CSS expression maybe?

How to assigne Java thread to a specific cpu core

Hello everyone,
I want to ask a complicated question. How can I assign Java threads to specific core in a multi-threaded application. The underlyinsg OS can be Linux or Windows. Is there any option provided in JVM can do it?
If I want to fork a process using C, how can I mix the Java and C together.
I am looking forward your suggestions.
Thank you.

The benefit may be to reduce the interference.You're assuming that you are smarter at thread scheduling than the algorithms written, tested, and honed over decades by people whose job is specifically that.

Will AE CS6 use all my cuda cores?

I have 2 quadro cx cards. Specs for each are 1.5g memory and 192 cuda cores and have the latest drivers.
1) Will AE use 1.5 or 3g of gddr? It is currently showing 1.5 usage.
2) Will AE use 192 or 392 cores?
3) Do I have to install the SLI bridge?

1) Will AE use 1.5 or 3g of gddr?
Never. Having two cards does not double the memory because each card will redundantly store data in its local RAM.
2) Will AE use 192 or 392 cores?
AE doesn't care. It will use whatever the driver makes available and that is an either/ or thing. It's all or nothing. If your driver enables both cards all 392 cores will be avialable, if foer some reason the driver goes belly up, it may only show one or none at all...
3) Do I have to install the SLI bridge?
For CUDA you shouldn't have to, as it's managed directly over the PCI bus.

Can't use applications with Video. They use all my CPU

Hi,
I'm having issue with ichat but also with any other application that uses video.
ichat is the worst though. If i start a video conference ichat will use about 35% of CPU and a few seconds into it will goes up to using 110% to 180% of my CPU and stay there! Then the video and audio become very choppy and the rest of my computer is almost unusable.
I didn't not have this problem when i was running tiger.
Photobooth does the same thing but not as intensely.
Would anyone know why?? I would love to solve this problem.
Thank you!

This is what I've read indeed. Which scare me because my optical drive doesnt work anymore. It reject everything i put in there. So If the 10.5.3 makes my computer crash i've got no way of fixing it... I would have to reinstall but in order to do that i need an external cd drive which i do not have at the moment.
Any other suggestions?

Windows XP Mode (Virtual PC) only uses half a CPU core/thread.

Not only does windows xp mode not support multiple cores, to me it looks like it only uses half a core/thread.
I noticed this because I just setup windows xp mode (virtual pc) on my computer. I updated it, joined it to our domain and then installed our legacy ERP software. This ERP software was designed and programmed to run on windows 98 or 2000, I can't
remember right now, but its hardware requirements are very low. This software runs very slows in the virtual pc, with the processor being the problem.
Matching the processor spike on the virtual pc using both performance monitor and task manager I compared it to task manager running on the host (my windows 7 machine). The spikes in cpu matched one of the threads on my i7 processor (I use threads
because an i7 has 8 threads but only 4 cores). To my surprise when the CPU reached near 100% on the virtual PC the same spike on the host was only about 50% of the cpu thread.
The host has a i7 950, 3.07GHz processor. So this means that the virtual pc can only use up to 1.5GHz. I have not run into the problem reported in other posts on this forum where the CPU is always at 50% or 100% on the virtual PC because when
their is no activity the CPU drops to 10% or less and stays there.
I will now have to use vmplayer, problem is having enough xp licenses for all users.
Was anyone else aware of this?

You can't use a half a thread. Windows VPC uses one core at 3.07GHz, there's no halving the speed of the CPU.
The only way WVPC would use a lower clock speed is if there is power management throttling the CPU speed down. Do you have a power management setting throttling your CPU? Are you sure the problem is the CPU and not disk or network related?
Task manager on the host is not a very accurate way to determine CPU usage of the VM.
If you have the correct version of Windows 7 (Pro or higher) there are no issues with XP Mode licenses, you get one license included with Windows 7. There's no restriction requiring you to use XP Mode with Windows VPC, it will work under 3rd party
virtualization solutions.

Can H55-GD65 MB use any newer CPU than 1st generation?

I am trying to find out what the H55-GD65 board can use for a processor? I see the list only has 1st generation i3, i5 or i7 chips and am wondering if this board can use anything newer? I also looked at the bios updates and they do not say whether they updated the list or not. It seems that you can only use a Clarkdale chip from the 1st generation chips, is this true?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Can I use any of the 1155 pin CPU's is more of the question at this point?
No, it is not possible. Only the ones and the BIOS versions to support them as listed in the link.
