Different CPU Overload

I read the earlier post about CPU overload. I am not getting the overload error message, Logic just stops when the CPU bar is slammed into the red. I am not using any plug-ins or effects, I do have 48 channels of audio I am trying to mix. I have been using Logic for over a year and a half now and this is a new problem. Is there something else I can check to discover why suddenly I have this overload problem?

Different CPU Overload
this is OP question...
I try to answer directly to you:
Yes!!!
*There are different Logic overloads on different CPUs + audio device*
the overlaods message are strictly related with your CPU + Audio interface + RAM ammout and speed + Front Buss speed + Firewire, USB, PCI cards...
*also external drives spinndown can cause overloads message*
in a Pro Studio... I use workstation without external device...
all Firewire and USB device must be disconnected.. also bluetooth must be off...
(don't use bluetooth Mouse in Professional recording studio)
*Also File sharing and Wirless Airport must be turned to OFF!!!*
(OS X is a multitasking system... this is a great advantage for everyone... except for Professional Live processing power request... reduce to minimum the background running process is a must to avoid overloads and CPU spikes)
The audio cards that require CPU cycles are...
1) PCI or PCIe cards... Near to 0.1% CPU demand
2) Firewire... a little bit more (about from 3% to 8%.. depend about firewire Chip set and drivers) of CPU demand
3) USB = maximum CPU load power request... (more than 10% to 25% and more.. and this percentage rise up related with number of tracks)
(approximately percentage are stryctly related with CPU.. if G4 or G5 or Intels)
*So CPU overload are different and strictly related with your hardware!!!*

Logic 8 CPU overload for absolutely no reason

I'm too familiar with this, which is what I'm getting for just one project that I recently started:
"Logic Pro: Disk is too slow or System Overload."
There's nothing wrong with my computer. It's a 2 x 2.8 Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8 GB of memory. And here's a picture of what's on this project. Essentially NOTHING.
I'm panning back and forth between audio regions (consisting of clips from different songs) on two different tracks fading in and out. Nothing fancy. Yet the first time (only the first time) the playhead encounters the next region, the CPU overload window pops up. I mean....really? Why? I have no idea why this is. I am running on Logic 8.0.2 but I see no reason to "upgrade" as this version is not CPU overloading on any other project.

There are a few threads on this topic already, including one a couple of days ago. They should get you started with some ideas about how to approach the problem.

CPU Overload (-10010) with Logic 9.0.2 and SL 10.6.2 after clean install

Whether using the demo song (Numbers Game), or a new song even with just a couple of instruments (EXS) and a single audio track I get a CPU overload -10010 or -1009 message sometimes every few seconds, sometimes every 30 minutes.
I thought perhaps a conflict with drivers or other software, so I have tried a clean install of SL10.6, updated to 10.6.2, loaded Logic Pro, updated to 9.0.2, and added NO OTHER SOFTWARE AT ALL, and used internal audio, still same problem.
This seems to be a bug in Logic or SL. What can I do?

This is no bug, your system is telling you that it cannot handle the full load of this song. Try Freezing tracks with heavy CPU-using plugins on them.

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums? Getting a cpu overload issue

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums (i.e. multi-output, stereo, etc)? Getting a cpu overload issue. I have a macbook pro, 4 gb ram, running Logic Pro 9. Just 3 tracks of drums and a few real instrument tracks. Can't find a guide in the manual for either Kontakt or Logic. Thanks in advance!

Hi
AR drums are complete resource (CPU) hogs. They work better if you turn off as many of the AR internal plugins as you can.
See section 4 (?) of the AR manual, which you can find within Kontakt (In the library area of Kontakt click hold the small "i" on the right of the "AR drummer" Library).
Alternatively, your only solution is to increase the I/O buffer in Preferences:Audio, with the associated increase in latency

Could threads of a same process run on different CPU in the same time ?

Hello,
probably stupid question..., but I would like to understand if several threads inside a same process can run in the same time on separate CPU.
If the response is positive, how can I bind a thread on differant CPU using C API ?
Also what is the algorithm implemented by Solaris for the laod balancing ?
Is there any white paper on this subject ?
Thanks for any tips

Threads in the same process can run at the same time on separate CPUs.
You can bind a thread to a CPU using the processor_bind(2) API.
That algorithm is not public. You will have to wait for OpenSolaris so that you can look at the implementation at that time.
There is much public documentation on Solaris threading support on the web. Use google. The following document provides a good historical context of Solaris thread support.

Different CPU utilization on ESX VMware servers of Netweaver Portal

Hello,
we are running an Enterprise Portal NW 7.0, SPS20. The application servers are running on 6 ESX VMware servers.
Although all application servers have almost the same amount of user sessions and the same processes on all servers,
always one of the servers have more than the double amount of CPU utilization than all other servers !
We found out, that this phänomen appears, as soon as one of the VM servers is running on a different physical hardware.
As soon as all servers are running on the same physical hardware, the problem does not exist.
Does anyone have experiences with the topic (Portal-)application servers on ESX VMware and different CPU utilization ?
Best regards,
Matthias

Help with Mainstage 3.1 CPU overload issue

I was using Kontakt 5, UVI Workstation and Pianoteq 5 in MainStage 3 without any issues.
Since I updated to MS 3.1, The CPU is always above 100% !!! I am facing audio dropouts and it is absolutely impossible to play a show
Is anyone else facing the same issue? Any tips to help reduce CPU overload will be helpful.
I have Contact and UVI workstation running from an external hard disk. I thought that might be the issue but i tried with a keyboard template set in MS 3.1 and still while playing CPU usage shoots to 100% plus!
I am on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

Try to get the Mainstage 3.0.4 from a timemachine backup.
Try to update all your programs like pianotec.
For me, 3.1 feels better concerning timing/ latency. This might cause more stress for the processors.
My system i7 2,2 GHz is always getting hot, fans go crazy. There's a limit: Better than 64 Samples buffer is not possible.
To be serious: A real Piano needs 0,25ms to produce a sound. We have to deal with 4ms. That's bad. So you could increase buffersize to 128 and try playing? It makes no big difference if you play the poor 4ms ore poor 6ms for example. In every case we are far away from the real thing.
Check, if you activated the "savety buffer" checkbox in audiodriver window.
If you can't find 3.0.4., you could try to reduce the installed channelstrips in your patches. Effects in concert level should be reduced. Evt. you have Efx in busses that are not needed in most patches. So cancel them in concertlevel and install them in selected patches.
I replaced a spacedesigner reverb with an reverb outside the system, it's processed from the interface. Same with a chorus.
I tested a newer MacbookPro retina, that was not better than mine. The difference was, it produced little dropouts every 10 seconds.
Hopefuly there will be a update for 3.1 soon.
And be serious: Before 3.1 you could play a show without dropouts, but was it fun? Mainstage urgently needs better latency capabilities, generally.

CPU Overloads: What to try?

I know this is a tired subject but considering that it doesn't seem the CPU overload and application instability can be solved in the current version of Logic, just wondering if anyone has a good work around.
Basically, I find that while using 3rd party plugins (i.e. Kontakt 2, Omnisphere), I can get about 8 or 9 tracks before I begin to have routine application crashes, overload message, etc. Freezing does not change this (and the activity monitor shows a massive jump in real memory from 2.0 gigs to 16TB with the addition of a 9th track depending on the size of the instruments i'm using). This also has nothing to do with buffer size.
I realize that Logic has limitations in the collective size of the plugins that can be loaded (up to 2.7 gigs of 3rd party plugins) so I'm wondering if I wanted to at least double the number of soft synth instruments I can load up what could I do? I've heard some people add more hardware like another Mac or something like Muse receptor which can load your plugins through logic but doesn't tap into Logic resources. Not sure how this works though, or if there's a better idea out there.
Any heavy soft synth users out there?

and the activity monitor shows a massive jump in real memory from 2.0 gigs to 16TB
It's a known issue with Kontakt that it can only handle 2 Gigs, adjust the DFD settings and reduce the number of voices to 128 (12MB) that will free up quite a lot of RAM. Also you can open a standalone version of Kontakt and wire it via the IAC Bus giving you another 2 Gigs if you have enough RAM installed. With Kontakt update 3.5 the 2 Giga limit will be gone but that doesn't help so much as Logic will still be a 32 Bit application in which the limit still is about 2,7 Gigs of physical and 3,5 Gigs of virtual RAM.
Besides that enter the word "overload" in the search field of this Forum and you will get thousands of posts about that tiring topic...

Qosmio - Intel(R)Core(TM)2CPU - system showing two different CPU

Hi, please, what do you think about this PRTSC of my Qosmio ? ;)
Intel(R)Core(TM)2CPU system shows two different CPU entries
Cheers, Hana
Message was edited by: admin

Mike, acoording properties of my Qosmio G30-126 is written: Intel(R) Centrino (R) duo with processor Core (TM) 2 Duo T7600 but as you can see on the picture Device manager shows two processors T7400 @ 2,16GHz and T7600 @ 2,33GHz.
My question is: Is it correct if I somebody have written in an agreement abot his laptop that inside is 2 Duo T7600 and in real can see two different processors? Is it possible to have two different processors at all?

Artsd giving me 'CPU overload' problem.

Hello everybody,
I've just installed Arch Linux, along with X, KDE, and the like. Now, when I boot into KDE, I get this error message saying "Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting".
The error message appears in an artsmessage window.
My computer becomes very slow before I get this error as artsd uses 99% of cpu before it crashes. I found this out using the `top` command.
I have alsa and all of it's modules compiled. The alsa module is also inserted into DAEMONS array.
So.. what does one do in this situation? Thanks.

I just tried that. The utility tells me everything is good.
So I decide to try something new. I log in as root and start KDE. Artsd doesn't crash anymore, and it only eats up half of my CPU.

I get a new window that pops up now, as soon as I log into KDE as root.
It's another artsmessage window, but this one says:
" Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (Device or resource busy)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device."
So, i'm stumped. I was going to get rid of the arch installation of alsa, and reinstall from the files i find at the alsa website, but I can't remove alsa using Pacman because other programs need it.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Aside from this minor wrinkle, i'm thoroughly impressed with Arch Linux. Having used Gentoo before this, it's embodies everything I liked about Gentoo without any of the bloody compiling. Good show.

Cpu overloading in 64 bit mode logic 9

Hey
I have a IMAC i3 3.06 with 12g of ram. Some songs overload the computer especially 2 of them and those songs consist of 5 apple instruments and no fx. Kinda odd right? I changed my buffer size to 1024 from 64 and it kinda helped. Logic is running 64 bit mode (I unchecked open in 32 bit and 64 bit show when loading logic).

No, I don't think it's odd. Software Instruments are the most CPU intensive. Also, different instruments have different processing requirements, even if you don't have any other FX in the chain.
I've got a top of the line MacBook Pro, and I have songs that start to bog down at 5 SI in GarageBand so I just lock those tracks. I just got Logic Pro so I don't know what the equivalent is here; I don't know if you can "lock" tracks, or if you just bounce them to an Audio track.
But I'd say basically, it doesn't seem that odd to me that you'd have a performance bottleneck on that iMac. Also, for playback, as opposed to recording, larger buffers are better. I'd stick with 1024 or higher.

Live Migration with Different CPU versions on the hosts, win 2012R2 Datacenter

Hello
This question have been asked in different forums but when I read the the thread's I feel that I get mixed answers.
And most answers are dating from 2012 (Win 2008R2), I don't know if they are still correct in win 2012R2.
So now I ask the question myself and hope to get at clear answer :)
We are in the process of installing a new Hyper-V cluster using Win srv 2012 R2 Datacenter as OS.
I'm planning to re-use some of the "old" servers from our current Hyper-V 2008 R2 cluster, removing it from the cluster and do a clean installation of 2012R2 Datacenter.
But I will need to buy two new servers to manage this (with a new version of CPU, same brand (AMD))
Old server: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6172 (12 Cores)
New server:
AMD Opteron™ 6344 (12-core)
Now my question:
Will Live Migration work between these servers in my new cluster without me doing any special settings in hyper-v or in the VM or what do I need to do to get this to work?
/Anders

Hi,
It is important that all the hardware supporting Windows Server 2012 Failover Clusters be certified to work with Windows Server 2012.
In a cluster where all the nodes of the cluster are exactly the same, hardware migration is fairly straightforward. There are no concerns about differences in hardware, and
especially no concerns about different capabilities of the CPUs.

ISight stopped working on Mavericks 10.9.2 update - CPU overloading

Last Feb 25, 2014, I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X v10.9.2. Since then, my iSight Camera stopped working and my CPU is overloading.
Observing in Activity Monitor: A ReportCrash process takes 100% of CPU usage.
Originally, I've updated with Combo package.
Everything worked perfectly in 10.9.1.
I tried reinstalling 10.9.2 package, tried using both Delta and Combo packages;
I tried Repair File Permissions;
I tried Disk Repair;
...and Nothing!
Because of that ReportCrash issue, I'm unable to update my Time Machine backup and reinstall the OS, once Time Machine application doesn´t start its process, don't know why!

PLEASE HELP. There's no way to use my Mac in this situation.

Hi, UnderEu,
I think to uninstall "AirParrot", "DiskplayLink" or simmialr Apps in Mavericaks, not only you have to move the Apps to Trash Bin, But also you need to uninstall their Audio & Video drivers & Settings. (which is the reason case the Crash of the system)
For the case of AirParrot, you need to do following command in Terminial Line to clear out the driver and setting:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext

CPU overload during playback and record

This happens here and there but is not a consistent problem, and for that reason I feel that it can be corrected. Out of the blue, during playback or record, all of the sudden my CPU meter will start spiking and the audio will start getting interrupted until it just gives up and I get a dialogue box saying overload. I always make sure all other applications are closed to avoid this. What else can I do?

1. Have an empty Audio Track selected during playback (= no need for Logic to wait for realtime MIDI input)
2. Increase Audio Buffer
3. Turn off "safety" buffer. "safety" is very misunderstandig... In fact, it makes things unsafer in terms of playback stability. (BTW: Did anyone find out which "safety" is meant, anyway?)
4. Turn off Airport, go offline, turn off antivirus and such things. Just let Logic be the only big application running.
5. After some playbacks, the caches should provide enough information so that Logic runs more smooth than with the first playback. So - if you need Logic as live tool, let it play the project once or twice before.

Same code but different output on different cpu

Hi to all,
I realized a simple class to receive data from a tcp server.
In the code I allocate a bytebuffer with dimension of x byte. I receive this byte from a server.
the problem is: if I use a x86 processor class run correctly. If I use x86_64 processor a receive from the server a great value and then when the application try tu run ByteBuffer.allocate I receive a memory excedeed error.
Why is there a different running mode if I change cpu?
I would to attach code but in wich way I can? this forum has a limited number of words.

I have problem at the line where is
dati = ByteBuffer.allocate(tot_byte);
