Drawing float* buffer fastest way

Hi,
I am little out-of-date about pixel buffer objects, native pixel formats, etc. on OSX. Can you briefly point me out what is the fastest way to visualize grayscale data represented as float* 2d array (non power of two domain, [0,1] range) to the frame buffer? Is OpengGL my best option or is there any faster OSX specific direct frame buffer drawing?
In case of OpenGL, how do I do this. I am using Cocoa, on 10.5x.
Thanks a lot
Sunil

What is the fastest way of getting data?

With a scanning electron microscope, I need to scan a 512*512 pixel area with a pixel repetition of 15000 (two channels), meaning averaging over 15000 measurements. Simultaneously I have to adjust the voltage output for every pixel.
I am using a 6111E Multifunction I/O board in a 800MHz P3. The whole task has do be done as fast as possible (not more than 20 minutes altogether).
What is the fastest way to get this huge amount of data with averaging and output in between? (E.g. do I use buffered read with hardware triggering or is there a faster way?)

Using the NI-DAQ API (not LabView) will give you a significant amount of more control over what happens and when to the data stream; which translates to a more efficient program. But you need to program in C/C++ or Delphi then. The Measurement Studio provides ActiveX controls that are like the LabView ones for C&C++ (they�re slow like the LabView ones though � not a lot you can do about the Windows GDI).
What are you trying to sample 15000 times? The 512*512 pixel field?
That�s almost 15Gigs of data! And it means you need to process data at 12.8MB/s to finish it in 20 minutes. I hope you know C, x86 assembly and MMX.
I would setup a huge circular buffer (NI-DAQ calls them �double buffers�), about 30 seconds worth or so, to use with SCAN_Start. Then I would proces
s the actual buffer the card is DMA�ing the data into with a high priority thread. Progressively sum the scan values from the 16bit buffer (the samples are only 12 bit, but the buffer should still be 16bits wide) into a secondary buffer of DWORDs the size of the screen (512*512), and you�ll need two of those, one for each channel. Once the 15000 scans are complete, convert each entry into a float divide by 15000.0f, and store it in a third buffer of floats.
If you wish to contract this out, send me an email at [email protected]

Is this the fastest way to copy files?

I'm looking for a way to take 1 file and make many copies of it. Is this fastest way you know of?
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
public static void applyFiles( File origFile, File[] files )
FileInputStream f1 = new FileInputStream( origFile.getAbsolutePath() );
FileChannel source = f1.getChannel();
FileOutputStream f2[] = new FileOutputStream[ files.length ];
FileChannel target;
for( int x=0; x < files.length; x++ )
    if( origFile.getAbsolutePath() != files[x].getAbsolutePath() )
      f2[x] = new FileOutputStream( files[x].getAbsolutePath() );
      target = f2[x].getChannel();
      source.transferTo(0, source.size(), target);
}

2 questions from your code...
1) I assume the last line should read
out.write(buffer,0,numRead);
2) Doesnt this just read in a piece at a time and write that piece to each file? Isn't that degrading performance to have so many files open and waiting at once? Would it make more sense to read into a StringBuffer, then write all the data to each file at a time?
Thanks
I'd have to say that your question is loaded. :)
Without knowing anything about your target system, I'd
have to say no, this is not the fastest way to copy a
file to many files. This will end up reading the file
once for every time you want to copy it. Which may
work fine if the file is small, but not when the file
that is being copied is larger then free ram. Or if
the file channel implementation sucks.
For the general case, where you don't know how big the
file will be beforehand I'd say that this is a better
algorithim.
public static void oneToManyCopy( File source, File[]
dest ) throws Exception(s) {
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream( source );
FileOutputStream out[] = new
w FileOutputStream[dest.length];
for ( int i = 0 ; i < dest.length;++i)
out[i] = new FileOutputStream(dest);
byte buffer[] = new byte[1024]; // or whatever size
e you like
int numRead;
while ( ( numRead = in.read(buffer,0,buffer.length)
) ) > -1 ) {
for ( int i = 0 ; i < out.length; ++i )
out.write(buffer,0,numRead);

Fastest way to check total number of rows from View ?

Hello Everyone,
Good Morning !!!!
I am trying to know the exact number of rows from a view.
I have total 262 columns in a view name vw_sample. First column name is col_1 and I do not have permission to view that. but I do have permission to view all other 261 columns. I want to know fastest way to know exact number of rows in this view vw_sample.
How can i know that ?
I tried below things.
1) Tried using COUNT(*) & COUNT(1) but I don't have permission to first column col_1 so that didn't worked.
2) I do not have permission to view DMV "sys.dm_db_partition_stats"
3) I tried to execute below code.
select col_2, col_3,...col_262
into #TempTable
from vw_sample
and it gave me below error
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line 1
Could not allocate space for object '<temporary system object: 9830433781072176840>'
in database 'tempdb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.
4) Accidentaly I run below code
select col_2, col_3,...col_262
from vw_sample
It gave me 11 million rows in 40 minutes. As we know this method is not good to test just number of rows from a view.
So what would be my option here ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Fredyy

Fredy, did you try with other column names instead of col1?
SELECT COUNT(col2) FROM View
What difference does that make, than using your column 1.
Please mark as answer, if this has helped you solve the issue.
Good Luck :) .. visit www.sqlsaga.com for more t-sql code snippets and BI related how to articles.
IMO, sqlsaga's answer is the way to go, but you may need to make a minor change. When you do COUNT(<some expression>), SQL counts the number of rows where <some expression> is not NULL. So if col2 can be NULL you need to make a change
so you know what you are counting can't be NULL. If there is some other column in the view that can't be NULL, just count it. Otherwise just use the ISNULL function to convert NULL's to a value. For example, do
Select COUNT(IsNull(col2, 0)) From vw_sample
Note the above assumes that col2 is a type that contains a number (int, numeric, float, etc). If col2 is of a different type, then just replace the 0 in the above with any valid value of the same type as col2 (so '' for varchar, '19000101' for datetime,
etc).

How to print the table values in fastest way?

Dear Friends,
I'm having table in my application and i need to print the table values. For that I used print() method to print the table values.
boolean complete = tableObj.print(mode, header, footer, showPrintDialog, null, interactive,
null);But, the time taken for displaying print dialouge box so late and printing operation is done very slowly.
Could anyone please tell me is there any better way and fastest way to print the table values?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
In the Module pool you will have fields. For those fields you have created the name also. Assign those name to work area and from there to internal table.
And for your requirement viceversa you need to done.

Fastest way to transfer information from my old MacBook Pro to a new one?

What is fastest way to transfer data between MacBook pros? It takes forever on wi-if.

Sometimes the fastest way would be just to transfer only your files via a external hard drive via drag and drop methods into the same named accounts on the new machine. This is especially useful if you want to avoid corruption of the old machine and have a chance to clean house of older files.
By the time one fiddles around finding a Firewire cable and adpaters, a standard USB 3 external hard drive could be done already and be gotten at any local computer or office store.
Also Retina's have SSD's and any data on them is not scrubbable like hard drives can be. Scrubbing SSD's would involve the entire drive being filled and this would wear them out prematurely as they have limited writes to each sector.
If you want to use Migration or Setup Assistant, there is some element of risk involved because your copying the corruption over from the previous machine if it exists. If you know the previous software is fine on the older machine, then you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the whole OS X boot parititon to the external USB drive, then hook this up to the new machine and run Migration/Setup Assistant against it, just like you would in Firewire Target Disk Mode if you don't want to wait to get a Thunderbolt to Firewire adpater from Apple.
If you already have the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter and a cable/adpater to the old Mac, then that's the fastest way.

Fastest way to load a BufferedImage on a JPanel

I am looking for the fastest way to display a BufferedImage on a JPanel.
I am using JAI to take in photo files (JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PNG) and create thumbnails (BufferedImage).
I was reading through the forums and saw you can either
1)overwrite the Graphics method or
2)imageicon->JLabel->JPanel
Currently, I am doing number 2, but I was wondering what the best way truly is.

as you arn't doing any animation or that kind of thing, using Swing Components will work just fine.

Fastest way to create child class from parent?

As the subject states, what do you folks find is fastest when creating child classes directly from the parent? (esp. when the parent is in a lvlib) I thought I'd post up and ask because the fastest way I've found to get working takes a few steps.
Any suggestions ae appreciatized!
-pat

Thanks for the quick response Ben!
Yea, I apologize, in your response I realize my OP was more than vague haha (it hapens when you get used to your own way of doing things I guess huh)- I'm trying to create a child from a parent so that it has all of the methods that the parent has.
In order to do so I currently have to open and close LV a few times during my current process so that vi's in memory dont get mixed up- Currently I save a copy of the parent class in a sub dir of where it is saved, close out of LV, open the new 'copy of parent.lvclass', save as>>rename 'child class.lvclass', close LV, and open up the project to 'add file', then right click>>properties>>inheritance.
Is this the only way to do this?
Thanks again!
-pat
p.s. I'm tempted to steal your cell phone sig, hope you dont mind haha good stuff!

Fastest Way To Create Ultrabeat Instrument From Wav Loop?

Hello, can anyone share the fastest way to create and instrument from a WAV file?
I know you can convert a wav to ESX24 instrument but I use Ultrabeat not ESX.
Im finding my self divinding each shot into region and then exporting that to its own file.
Is there a faster/simpler way?
-Thanks

You're right! It does work, however, if you follow these steps:
1. Right-click on wave file in Arrange and choose "Slice at Transient Markers" or use the corresponding key command.
2. Select all the split regions right-click on them and choose: Convert > Convert to new audio file(s)
3. Again, with all the regions selected choose: Convert to new sampler track.
4. Now launch Ultrabeat. Click on the Import button anc choose the .exs file you've just created (will be located in your project folder). Then drag the audio files into UB as desired.
You could skip Part 3 altogether and simply slice at transients, convert to new audio file(s) and then in a new kit of UB drag them into the sample window of OSC for each part...

Fastest way to create subtitles

Hi! What is the fastest way to create subtitles. I have a short film with one hundred subtitles. I have a text list with time codes, can I use that somehow? Or do I have to enter every subtile separately? And what are the basic settings?

A possibility seems to be using Quicktime Pro to add your text to a Quicktime movie. The Apple instructions are in Text Track Tutorial. I never used it in real life,... but I tested it in the past and it seemed to be doing what I expected: to layout text over an existing movie at preassigned timecodes...
For sure you must first adapt your text and timecodes to the required format, and most of all you must have the "original" timecode in your movie untouched (all timecodes your text is making reference to). But if you edited and exported your movie from FCE you lost the original timecodes... so I'm not sure this may help you.
The other approach is manual: in FCE add a text clip at the correct timecodes, one at the time...

Fastest way to create buttons from TOC entries?

I am trying to make a TOC interactive by applying rollovers and links to each entry. What is the fastest way to create buttons out of each entry? Would the "create outlines" command be appropriate? As it stands now, I am copying an entry, pasting it into a new frame, aligning it over the original entry, then converting to button and applying behaviors. There's got to be a more efficient way to do this!
Using CS3 Design Standard.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Fastest way to create a track of Whole notes beginning to end

I am trying to create a tapper track consisting of a series or low G (G2) whole notes.
What is the fastest way of doing this. (they really should be quantized) And, they should also be on beat-one only, throughout an occasional meter change.
In logic you could drag blocks. I realize I could simply loop and then convert loop to real midi...
But.. would this run amuck with meter changes. (Remember I just want notes beginning on beat one, and ONLY beat one.
-Thanks

Where you have sig changes, copy the region, and adjust it's length to fit the meter … you only need 1 region, rather than try to anticipate the myriad of time sigs that may crop up.
I understand exactly what you mean, and it makes a lot of sense. I think it's strictly a question of the pattern of usage. If his style when writing is to frequently throw in some odd time sig that he hasn't used much before and is not likely to use again anytime soon, then what you say seems like the best approach. On the other hand, I'm assuming he's more in a situation where he tends to throw in, say, a measure of 2/4, 3/4 or 5/4 every now and then. And it's just a few sigs like that which he tends to use frequently. Therefore it might be slightly easier to have a few regions like that already prepared, and in a place where I can grab them easily. If I have them marked clearly by name and color, I can feel comfortable that I'm avoiding an error. Whereas if I'm creating them over and over again each time I need one, the snap settings and zoom level are relevant, and it's a little too easy to make a careless mistake, if the phone rings at the wrong time.
Also, he sometimes wants whole notes, and sometimes quarter notes. And maybe there are some other variations like this. This would also be a reason to have some material prepared that I can use over and over again.
But of course if one day I decide to emulate Stockhausen and throw in a bar in 142/8 time, it makes sense to create that only when I need it, because if I create that region in advance it probably won't get used much.
So in practice I could picture him doing it a combination of both ways, because chances are certain sigs are used often and others are used rarely. I think it really depends on the writing style, and the pattern of how the unusual sigs are distributed. And also if he sees an advantage in the marking by color. That could be considered helpful, or it could be considered ugly and distracting.

Fastest way to create a group from list of recived emails

I thought this would be as easy as drag and drop but no such luck.
Here's the situation. I had a class of 25 students email me from their mobile phones all using the same subject. Now I'd like to create a mailing list / group so that I can easly contact all of them if need be. I tried creating a new group and dragging all of the emails into it to no avail. I also tried right clicking and checking the menus to see if there were any options which there weren't.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'd be open to using automator or something similar if it worked.
Thanks,
Greg

I think the fastest way to do this is in Mail>Message>Add to Address Book, then in AB>File>New Smart Group>Card:>Was updated After... say yesterday, then select all those & make a new (not Smart) Group to drag them to so it won't change after that.
Unless you could get them all to eMail with some other unique that AB can see as a Group field.

Fastest way to write out internal table to database table ?

Hi friends,
my question is, what is the fastest way to write about 1,5 mill. of rows from an internal table to a database table ?
points will be awarded immediately,
thanks for your help,
clemens

Hi Clemens,
If you just want to write (INSERT) 1.5 million rows of an internal table into a database table, use:
INSERT <table name> FROM TABLE <itab>.
Transaction Log Size could be a problem, therefore writing in packages could help, but this depends on your row size, your database configuration and on the current changes to your database. May be it runs in one package, if the rows are small (few bytes) then one package will be the fastest but you'll not much faster than with reasonable packages (3-20 MBytes). On Oracle with rollback segments you will probably have no problems at 1.5 million rows.
Best regards
Ralph
