How can I mesure the performance of my PC?

I've never done any benchmarks of my PC's. Actually because I never knew how, and still dont know
I've read about something called sisoft etc, but never paid attention to it.
So, what would you guys suggest me to do for checking if my PC is performing according to specs?
Evald

I've downloaded "san2004.SP2b-9133-Win32-OCS" and done some of the tests. I have no idea what the numbers tells me, but maybe someone here can help me with my results.
I've done 3 tests so far (I guess it's the most common tests)
Here's my restults:
Benchmark Results
Dhrystone ALU : 11093MIPS
Whetstone FPU : 3810MFLOPS
Whetstone iSSE2 : 4968MFLOPS
Benchmark Results
Integer x4 aEMMX/aSSE : 23030it/s
Float x4 iSSE2 : 24693it/s
Benchmark Results
RAM Bandwidth Int Buff'd iSSE2 : 2716MB/s
RAM Bandwidth Float Buff'd iSSE2 : 2713MB/s
Benchmark Results
Combined Index : 5547MB/s
Speed Factor : 12.1
2kB Blocks : 17501MB/s
4kB Blocks : 18285MB/s
8kB Blocks : 18692MB/s
16kB Blocks : 18561MB/s
32kB Blocks : 16409MB/s
64kB Blocks : 15424MB/s
128kB Blocks : 11983MB/s
256kB Blocks : 10483MB/s
512kB Blocks : 10406MB/s
1MB Blocks : 1578MB/s
4MB Blocks : 1554MB/s
16MB Blocks : 1549MB/s
64MB Blocks : 1550MB/s
256MB Blocks : 1549MB/s
Maybe someone here can interpret my restults. And maybe give a few tips or hints of optimizing the system. (or maybe this is fixed results who will stay unchanged even with extended windows tweeks)
I'm not using the PC for games, only audio and video. My programs are Steinberg Cubase and Pinnacle Studio 8. I have no intention of OC, so real windowstweeks is what I'm after.
I've used Double sided RAM, so I cant put in more RAM. I've not done any test of the HD's since I plan to get 2 additional S-ATA drives, one for audio, and one for Videocapture. And since my IDE ATA-133 drives works great for this purpose (they should have been twice the size) I suspect the S-ATA drives to be even better.
And finally, what other tests could be helpful for me and the things I do with my PC ?

How can I Improve the Performance using Global Temo Tables ??

Hi,
Can anyone tell me , How can i make use of Global Temporary Tables to improve the Performance.
I have few sample scripts ,
Say i have the View based on some Complex query like ,
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Profile_values_view AS
SELECT d.Profile_option_name, d.Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
u.User_name, Level_id, Level_code
FROM Profile_definitions d, Profile_values v, Profile_users u
WHERE d.Profile_option_id = v.Profile_option_id
AND ((Level_code = 'USER' AND Level_id = U.User_id) OR
(Level_code = 'DEPARTMENT' AND Level_id = U.Department_id) OR
(Level_code = 'SITE'))
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM PROFILE_VALUES P
WHERE P.PROFILE_OPTION_ID = V.PROFILE_OPTION_ID
AND ((Level_code = 'USER' AND
level_id = u.User_id) OR
(Level_code = 'DEPARTMENT' AND
level_id = u.Department_id) OR
(Level_code = 'SITE'))
AND INSTR('USERDEPARTMENTSITE', v.Level_code) >
INSTR('USERDEPARTMENTSITE', p.Level_code));
Now i have created the Global temp Table as ,
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE Profile_values_temp
Profile_option_name VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
Profile_option_id NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
Profile_option_value VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
Level_code VARCHAR2(10) ,
Level_id NUMBER(4) ,
CONSTRAINT Profile_values_temp_pk
PRIMARY KEY (Profile_option_id)
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS ORGANIZATION INDEX;
Now I am Inserting the Records into Temp table as
INSERT INTO Profile_values_temp
(Profile_option_name, Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
Level_code, Level_id)
SELECT Profile_option_name, Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
Level_code, Level_id
FROM Profile_values_view;
COMMIT;
Now what my doubt is, when do i need to execute the Insert Statement.
Say , if the View returns few millions of records , then loading such a data into Global Temporary table takes lot of time.
Then what is the use of Global Temporary tables and how can i improve the Performance using the same.
Raj

Thanks for the responce ,
There are 2 to 3 complex views in our database, and there always be more than 5000+ users will be workinf on the application and is OLTP application. Those complex views are killing the application performance.
I what i felt was, if i create the Global Temporary tables for thow views and will be able to load the one third million of records returned by the views in to cache and can improve the application performance.
I have created the Global Temporary tables for 2 views with the option On Commit Preserve , But after am inserting the records into the Temp table and when i Issue the commit statement, the Temp table is getting Cleared.
I really got surpised of this behaviour as i know that with the Option On Commit Preserve , the rows should retain in the Temp Table, Instead , it's getting cleared.
Pelase suggest , what to do ??

How can I improve the performance of my MBP battery?

Hi, I've had my MBP 2.2GHz for about 2 months and a half now. I use the iStat Pro widget, and it says I've cycled the battery 94 times and the health is down to 92%.
I've looked up how to optimize the performance and realized I've misused my battery excessively. I use the WI-Fi 95% of the time. I mainly use it for school. This is what a day in use usualy is:
Charging all night, about an hour of use without power source, half an hour of use connected to the power source, about an hour of use without power source, 40 minutes with power source, and then asleep until I get home and use it usually connected to a power source unless not in my desk.
I still don't quite get what exactly the cycles mean, but I'll be calibrating the battery soon.
The question is: How could I optimize the performance to my battery and what habits will make it last longer? Is there any way I could recover the health of it? I plan on buying a new battery soon.

Welcome to the Forums!
Actually, you are already using your battery in an optimal manner. Li-based batteries need to be used frequently and 'lightly' (i.e. not fully discharged too often) for best longevity. 92% health after 94 cycles is good (Apple specification is 80% health for 300 cycles).
You should properly calibrate your battery every 2 months or so:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284
For more info on batteries and a what constitutes a cycle, see these pages:

Hope this helps...

How can I improve the performance of SSO in BOE XI R2?

I have SSO AD single sign-on setup for infoview but it takes very long for a user to get into infoview once they select the hyperlink to infoview. How can I decrease the amount of time it takes a user to get into infoview when having SSO AD configured?

SSO is actually handled outside of business objects, either challange-response (ntlm,kerberos) or a trusted username (trusted authentication, siteminder, etc) is passed.
In challange response the client negotiates with AD directly and then a ticket/token is passed to BO for authorization. To verify if the problem is with AD or BO just create an enterprise alias for a slow user, and login manually (after logging out if you don't have any manual links). If it's still slow then the problem is likely with the BO CMS or web/app. IF manual login with enterprise is fast then the problem is likely with AD or the connectivity (DNS, network lag, etc) and should be troubleshot with a packet scanner.
If it's a trusted connection I will need more details of how it is set up.

Tim

How can I visit the performance tab when the target DB is down?

Hi, All:
I wonder if it is possible to visit the performance tab when the target DB is down. I thought it should be possible. But whenever I first click the performance tab, I will be asked to enter the user/passwd for the target db(I have set the preferred credentials).
Furthermore, is it possible to analyze the history sql/performance if the target db is not startup? and how can I do it?
Thanks in advance

I have seen other postings by the same ID and my suggestion is that you have a look at the Enterprise Manager Documentation Library. After that, you can ask questions relating to subjects you cannot solve with the documentations.

How can I improve the performance of my app?

Hi,
I have written an java application. This app makes a large number of calls on a method getting a value from an array. Profling the app reveals that it spends more than 90% of the time in this call. Because the app makes so many calls to this method the app isnt running as fast as it should!!! Can someone tell me how I can improve the performance of the app? Are there any techniques that I can use to improve the performance?

Sounds like you should optimise that call. Either change the code in the call so it is faster or call it less often.
Because the app makes so many calls to this method the app isnt running as fast as it should!!! It will run faster if you get it to do less work, if it is doing only the work it should do then that is how fast it is.
Can someone tell me how I can improve the performance of the app? Are there any techniques that I can use to improve the performance?Optimise the code, call it less often, use a server or servers with more resources/CPU.

How can we improve the performance while fetching data from RESB table.

Hi All,
Can any bosy suggest me the right way to improve the performance while fetching data from RESB table. Below is the select statement.
SELECT aufnr posnr roms1 roanz
    INTO (itab-aufnr, itab-pposnr, itab-roms1, itab-roanz)
    FROM resb
    WHERE kdauf = p_vbeln
    AND   ablad = itab-sposnr+2.
Here I am using 'KDAUF' & 'ABLAD' in condition. Can we use secondary index for improving the performance in this case.
Regards,
Himanshu

Hi ,
Declare intenal table with only those four fields.
and try the beloe code....
SELECT aufnr posnr roms1 roanz
INTO table itab
FROM resb
WHERE kdauf = p_vbeln
AND ablad = itab-sposnr+2.
yes, you can also use secondary index for improving the performance in this case.
Regards,
Anand .
Reward if it is useful....

How can I optimize the performance of my HTML5 project?

The link to my project is below. It is very slow to load most slides until they are cached in the browser. It appears that it is waiting until I advance to the slide in order to download the content. It takes up to 5 seconds to display the content of a slide, and often times it shows the spinning loading icon. With HTML5 output, it automatically converts my 1280x720 images to PNG files which does not help. How can I optimize this project to make everything load faster? Is there a way for Captivate to constantly download slides before you view them? Please let me know if you have suggestions.

Pasting into a blank project is not a nice option because it requires reconfiguring all of the buttons.They all reset to "Continue" when I do that. I would probably need to re-enter the Advanced Actions as well. There's no reason to think that would speed up the application.

How can I improve the performance of my mpb?

Hi,
Just looking for advice on cleaning up a hard drive and improving performance on an mpb that has slowed to almost a standstill. It is running OSX 10.6.7 and has over 20gigs free...
Any pointers greatly appreciated

How big is the MBP drive? Regardless, using up more than 50% of the capacity will have an effect. As you fill up the drive, 70-80-90%, the performance decrease will be dramatic. There are several software applications that you can use to "clean up" and defragment the drive. I suggest that you evaluate the offerings and suggestions that are part of the "Apple download" section of the website. I've used Disk Warrior for years, and I find it useful.
I suggest getting an external drive to hold your less-used data and applications.

How can I improve the performance of LOWER (col) LIKE %name%

Hi,
I need to search for this condition:
WHERE LOWER (col) LIKE %name%
In a table with 6,000,000 rows. I understand that when LIKE pattern begins with %, it cannot take the advantage of indexes.
Is there any technique to improve my querys performance?
Thank you,
Alan

Last solution is even worse.
1. IT does the same thing (in a way ) that materialized view can do, except for you can set up materialized view to be auto refreshed (with materialized log, fast commit, etc or scheduled) and this last solution you will have to recreate the table every time you appear to have a new record, in other words you are in a maintenance nightmare (this could have been a solution before 8i)
2. When you store a rowid in the table column you are asking for spanking........
a. what will happen to your rowids when you export/import?
b. enable row movement ?
c. transition to RAC?
that's right your rowid formats will change your query won't work.
With Materialised view you have oracle do all this "maintenance" for you automagically.
Also as an idea if you say have 2 or 3 queries like that you can create 2-3 mat views and enable rewrite and supposedly it should pick up the right view for you.....
this is my solution # 3 (besides materialized views and indexes with regular expressions)
if you are searching word "name" (not a partial string inside other words like zzNAMEsdzz ) then you have many real indexing options (Oracle Text/Intermedia, etc)
Hope it helps,
Eugene

How can I make the performance of a webex webinar better ?

I would like to improve the quality of the live webinars I'm following. The speed of my connection is fast enough. Could there be something in the settings I can change maybe?

probably an easier way, but this seems to work OK
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
public Testing()
    setLocation(200,300);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser(".");
    disableInput(fc.getComponents());
    fc.showOpenDialog(this);
public void disableInput(Component[] comp)
    for(int x = 0; x < comp.length; x++)
      if(comp[x] instanceof JPanel) disableInput(((JPanel)comp[x]).getComponents());
      else if(comp[x] instanceof JTextField)
        ((JTextField)comp[x]).setEditable(false);

How can I improve the performance of Apple Remote Desktop?

Apple Remote Desktop is very slow (refresh of the screen). Hown can I improve speed?

Like Dave said, you can lower the colors. You can also set a lower screen resolution on the client your connecting to.
There are things that can slow down ARD. For instance: copying files over the network, Watching youtube, listening to streaming music, Downloading files, video chat, audio chat. Or an active time machine backup running to a time capsul.
If you have the option of using your wired network over wireless. And your wired network is faster; then you could try using the wired network.
If your computer and or the client computer is on wireless, you could try moving the computers closer to the wireless access points. Do the computers have 1 bar , 2 bars, 3 bars or 4 bars in airport menu?
Are you using ARD at home on a small network? OR are you on a larger buisness network?
If your on a small home network. You could look at your router to find out if it's 802.11 a, b, g, or n.

How can I improve the performance of my iPod touch 2nd gen?

It is very slow!

- All you can do is reset the iPod,. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Also periodically power off and then back on the iPod to free up memory.
