Can DIAdem 2012 use multiple processors on Quad Core CPU?

Hi,
I am running scripts in DIAdem 2012 which take upwards of 10 minutes to complete. However, I notice my CPU usage never goes above 15% during this time. My understanding is that that generally suggests the software is not 64-bit compatible and therefore not taking advantage of the other cores (I'm on a quad-core i7). I also have 12gb ram and that is not being heavily taxed by DIAdem either.
Anybody know how I can squeeze some extra juice out of my computer to help DIAdem run faster? Thanks!

Hello Mark,
Multi-core support only makes sense for very few operations in DIAdem (i.e. Large amounts of data being sent through an FFT routine) and is currently not supported. Also, 64-bit only makes a difference when working with very large data files.
That said, there are ways to improve processing speed in DIAdem without using extra cores or 64-bit versions of software. My best suggestion is to get in touch with our senior Product Support Engineer (Dr. Brad Turpin) and combing through your Script(s) to see where there is potential to improve processing speeds by optimizing the Script(s). I'm not implying that your Script(s) are badly written, I just know from experience that changing a few things in the Script(s) has lead to reduced processing times by using optimized functions in DIAdem that you might not be aware of.
Dr. Turpin can be reached at this email address: brad DOT turpin @ ni DOT com
Please reference this forum thread when you contact him.

Jvm on quad-core cpu

does anyone know some good literature
about how the jvm can utilize
the parellism power of a quad-core cpu?
even without spawning a java thread, or otherwise
trying for parallelism, the jvm will run faster because....?
its up to xp pro to utilize the 4 cores, right?
the jvm can't "known" about the 4 cores?
please give me some links to good
documentation
thanks.

System.out.println("Core count: " + Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors());This code returns '4' for my twin dual-core machine.
Some of the classes in java.util.concurrent make use of this method.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you keep your data backed up?
If not, you should always do so*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
You never know when a hard drive or a directory might go bad. Having a bootable clone is a must.
That link also shows you some tools you can use to recover data.
If you aren't backed up, try buying those tools first, before attempting to repair the directory.
Directory issues can be fixed with these tools*:

I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

A few places online may still offer the i7 2.3GHz quad-core Late 2012 MINI (Oct 2012 to Oct 2014)
that allows the user-upgrade of RAM to 16GB, and this one I've seen is a Server model and has
two 1-TB Hard Disk Drives. The B&H store in NY online has this listed, if in stock now, price &
shipping in continental US is good until tomorrow.
Your i5 dual-core is still desirable to many, & you may be able to resell it if not needed.
Good luck & happy computing!

Probably because your set up doesn't support HDCP.

Quad-core CPU?

Hi All,
We are looking to upgrade of database machine for OCS 10g. If we purchase a machine with a quad-core cpu, will the database be able to take advantage of it? Or are we better of with multiple dual-core processors? Or one dual-core processor? Has anyone upgraded recently? Or have any insights?
Thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

All X series ThinkPads, tablet or not, have the CPU soldered onto the board, and not socketed. This has been the case from the days of X20, almost 15 years ago.
So no, you can't swap the CPU unless you are in possession of proper re-balling equipment along with the skills to use it.
Furthermore, a BIOS support for a quad-core CPU would have to exist, which I doubt is presently the case on X series.

Quad core CPU in x230T?

I realize that even if it were possible, cooling would be the primary issue. But I am curious if, say, an i7-3612QM might work in the socket on the mobo. It is rated at 35W, just like the i5-3320m currently installed in mine. Via Intel's ARK, they should both work in the 988 socket on the x230T's mobo.
Solved!

Licensing and quad core CPU`s

Hi I hope someone can help me here.
We have CF8 enterprise edition installed on a 32 bit OS with 2 dual core CPU`s.
What I want to know is, can I use the same license to migrate CF8 to a new server that has a 64 bit OS with 2 quad core CPU`s.
Also are there any other issues to take into account?.
Any thoughts from anyone who has experience with this kind of thing would be appreciated. Thank you :-)
P.S I tried asking Adobe customer support but it was a waste of time, they couldnt understand the question. My question does make sense right?

Seconded. Once of the nice things about their licensing is that it actually specified "physical" cpus rather than just cores, as Microsoft stuff often does.
Twin octo-core CPUs for the win!

Seconds() function issue on Quad Core CPU

Hello,
I am noticing some timing issues using Seconds() function on a Quad Core computer. The optional boolean in Seconds() is True (by default).
With Core 2 Duo CPUs, the seconds() function is reporting elapsed time (since TestStand startup) correctly. However, I noticed on a Quad Core CPU that the seconds(True) function reports ~0.5s every 1 second. In other words, seconds() elapsed is incorrectly reported. Has anyone observed such issue?
When the boolean parameter is set to False [i.e. Seconds(False)], there is no problem observed on Quad Core CPU.

Howdy Troy,
I don't have a quad core to duplicate your issue, but it sounds plausible. Since this is an older version of TestStand that was developed before multicores went mainstream, this very well may be expected behavior.
You might instead call directly into the Windows API using kernel32.dll--particularly one of these functions:
GetSystemTime
GetSystemTimes (for multicore)
GetTickCount
External Link: MSDN: Time Functions (Windows)
Judging from the nature of your question, I think GetTickCount would suit you best.
I hope this helps!
Warm regards,
pBerg

New Quad Core CPU

As you all know Intel will be introducing the new quad core CPU soon. Is Apple going to introduce several totally new design desktops equipped with quad core CPUs? Or is Apple only going to offer an optional upgrade to quad core CPUs for their current three Mac Pros?

At first.
I think technology hit a wall... a heat dissipation wall.
The plan seems to be to reduce the speed and power and
compensate by brodening the force-area. This reduces
escaping power and produces more efficiency per power
unit. This is just simple coefficients.
Like if I had 8 procs each running at 1GHtz it's going to
aproach the speed of a single 7 or 8GHtz unit but at a
fraction of the power consumption and a magnitude of the
efficiency. This shift started five or six years ago.
http://tweakers.net/ext/i.dsp/1066381706.jpg <- 5 years ago
Maybe more. 64way units are already here. Though I bet we
don't see them on desktops for a good while. When this
reaches it's limits who knows what's up next? Chemical or
Atomic Phase processors? Shrug. World War Three not
withstanding..

Is there a quad core cpu for my macbook 13in pro early 2011 with the socket P8400

Is there a quad core cpu for my macbook 13in pro early 2011 with the socket P8400?
The duel core is not doing the work i need done....

You cannot upgrade the CPU on a notebook. They are integrated onto the motherboard. Sell the one you have then purchase a new one with the quad-core CPU.

Using multiple processors and threads

Hi there,
Just a quick question... I am working on an application that is VERY processor intensive. There is no real way to improve this, but I do have access to a multiple processor server.
Can anyone tell me if Java code can be written to utilise more than one processor? I assume due to the VM, that this is unlikely - and that one must resort to the operating system used on the server, where hopefully the VM can be forced to use more than one processor.
If this is not possible - has anyone written applications that run across several VMs? Is this possible, and what is the performance like?
Thanks for any help.
Nick

The Java VM will indeed utilize multiple processors. Just create a seperate thread to do your work and it will schedule it. In fact it's way easier than most languages:
public class MyThreadimplements Runnable {
public MyThread() {
try {
Thread newThread= new Thread(this);
newThread.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY); // see other enumerations to boost priority
newThread.start();
} catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
public void run() {
// do your work here
}

Can you access/use multiple apple ID's on one device?

Hello,
In our family we have been registering everything (ipods, iphones and computers) all under one apple id. We have made purchases with the family apple id which we have been accessing on multiple devices. With everyones different needs I am wondering about setting up new apple id's for different family members. Can I use multiple apple id's on devices like my iPhone and still access apps/books/music purchased on the family apple id's and if so how do I do this.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Why do you have 3 Apple IDs?
Apple IDs cannot be merged and items bought with one Apple ID cannot be transfered to another. A computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days for automatic downloads, re-downloading of past purchases or iTunes Match. There is no getting around this restriction.
One computer can be autorized to play content purchased with multiple Apple IDs, though.
My suggestion is to pick on Apple ID and stick with it for the future. Once you have decided, log into one of the other Apple IDs and download every avialble item you bought with that ID to your computer. Wait 90 days. Log into the other ID and do the same thing. Wait 90 days. Finally log into the "main" Apple ID and stay logged in. Keep current backups of all your purchased items on a local, external HDD.

Can one JVM use multiple X Windows displays?

I'm probably clutching at straws here, but is it possible for one JVM to use multiple X Windows displays? Consider this, I've got multiple video cards and each card has a different X session running on it (localhost:0 and localhost:1 for example). I start up a JVM that is displaying to :0 but I also want it to be able to display windows also on :1 without having to instantiate a new JVM.
Is this at all possible and any ideas on how it might be done?

yes, this can be done. I think that you need to set the GraphicsDevice for the JFrames and JDialogs so that they appear in the right place. look at the class GraphicsEnvironment for more information.
