How to optimize meomry use for PSE 6.0

I bought an new PC with lots of memory, a fast graphics card and 4-core processor under XP-home. I work with 12.000 pictures in PSE 6.0 and the system is still surprisingly slow. How can I get more use of the memory or CPU? How do I set PSE or Windows XP to use virtual memory or does this happen automatically? Thanks for any hints.

As far as optimization goes here are a few tips:
Reduce the number of history states (how many times you can undo something): Edit<General preferences<enter desired number of states to be saved. (Default is 20)
Lower Image Cache setting: Image cache is saved version of the image at different resolution (thing magnification zoom tool)...helps with redraw speed. Settings 1-8 are available. 1 disables caching the higher the setting the faster the redraw at different zoom levels but the more memory used. (Default setting is 4)
Number of open files is a no brainer. Keep only the files you need open as each file open is held in memory until it's closed.
If you have two internal hard drives, set one other than the one that has your virtual memory (usually C) to be used as a scratch disc. If you have an external hard drive, leave it set to the same drive as the virtual memory (usually C) as you should never use an external drive for a scratch disc. Edit<Preferences<Plug ins and Scratch Disc
Another no brainer, is to run Photoshop Elements by itself.
You can purge the clipboard to release memory. Edit<Purge Clipboard. This clears undos...this can't be undone. I read somewhere that you may have to hold in the alt key as you purge all to get the memory to release in E6.
Use adjustment layers when possible as they don't add to the file size...or at least not much. (Here's one example is adding contrast by using overlay blend mode. Instead of duplicating the image and placing it into Overlay blend mode, add a non color adjustment layer like levels...just okay it to accept the default...and put it into Overlay blend mode).
Drag and drop when possible. Copy/paste uses memory to store the image you are pasting.
I've read making the Digimarc plug ins not load by renaming it with a ~ before the file name helps. (The Digimarc plug in scans images for copyright and places a copyright symbol in the top of the document frame if a copyright is embedded in the image. To gain access to the plug in again, rename it without the ~. BTW, you can disable any plug in etc by renaming with the ~ before the filename.
FWIW, Photoshop Elements can only utilize 2 GB of RAM.

How to optimize your PC for the 0404 USB and 0202 USB

This is a guide on optimizing your system for the 0404 USB and 0202 USB.
Make sure the 0404 USB is using a USB HOST that is on an IRQ alone. This means no other device in the PC can be sharing its IRQ.
If you are running a hyper-threaded CPU, by turning hyperthreading off from the bios. You can set the latency at 20ms or lower and you will usually not have any latency issues.
Change Processor Scheduling to 'Background Services' - Navigate to the Advanced page of the System applet. Click on the Performance Settings button, select its Advanced tab and click on 'Background Services' for Processor Scheduling.
Switch Off Power Schemes - In the Power Options applet, choose the 'Always On' power scheme. Change the settings for monitor and hard disk turn off and System standby to 'Never', so that your PC doesn't unexpectedly conk out during song playback
Disable System Sounds - Select the 'No Sounds' scheme on the Sounds tab of the Sounds and Audio Devices applet.
Make sure legacy USB support is disabled in your BIOS.

Hi everybody.
This message to share my experience of the 0404 USB under Windows 7.
I previously operated this sound adapter under Windows XP and it was working fine with my pipe organ simulator (Hauptwerk).
When I switched to W7 on a Dell Vostro (professionnal series), sound was muting after exactly one minute . The same with a video on Yutube.....
I did all the adjustments suggested here and there on the web (sampling rate, drivers) , I tried to operate at moonlight, I shot a chicken, etc ...
After many manipulations, I noticed that, if I was doing "something", for instance moving the sound level up and down, the sound was going on ....
The solution was in part at the beginning of the topic "how to optimize your PC for th 0404, etc ....".
The keyword is "interrruption".
As a matter of fact, the Dell laptop is strongly closed. The BIOS allows no adjustment of nothing.... No way to control interruptions allocation.
BUT!!! I noticed that the two USB 2.0 ports are located very far away from each other. I supposed there would be TWO controlling chips. And I tried the second one. AND IT WORKED!
So the E-MU guy is right, the device must get a free interruption line to operate ....!

How to find out how many memory is used for NIO

is there any way to find out how many memory is used for nio in a virtual machine. ?
I know that is possible to find out how many total, free and used memory the heap has by using java.lang.Runtime#totalMemory...
We sometimes expect errors that it is not possible to create any more connections because of the NIO memory size but the heap is still ok. Today we had an error where 170mbytes of heap where left but it was not possible to create new tcp connections because of an exception:
javax.naming.NamingException: java.net.SocketException: No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?): connect
The number of TCP-Connections was ok (<500).
It would be very nice if someone knows how to find out how the amount of memory that NIO buffers use can be determined within Java 1.4.
best regards
benjamin

We have to use 1.4.2_03. This is because of the special environment we are running on.
We did also figured out that there are some NIO Memory Bugs but we since we are not allowed to upgrade the used Virtual Machine we have to live with these errors.
The problem that we currently have is within a Server and because of this circumstance we are trying to find a workaround or way to find out how many memory is allocated. If we would know how to get this value we could restart the servers as a workaround after the value reaches a threshold.
We are also very sad that we can`t easily upgrade/update to the latest 1.4.2 Version or the newest 1.5 to get rid of these NIO Bugs!

How many transaction key used for Service PO

Hi,
Please let me know, how many transaction key used for Service PO...
In OBYC, we have maintained GBB & WRX Transaction key's for Service PO, Is there any other Transaction key skip???
Please guide...

Hi,
GBB is used for Offsetting entry for inventory posting but for Service procurement WRX Transaction key is used for GR/IR clearing-service.
NOTE: You may use WRX with new account modifier ZZZ to triggers GR/IR clearing-service only for service procurement where you need to post all separate GR/IR clearing- material , GR/IR clearing-asset and GR/IR clearing-service and can done with user exit.
#But in special case GBB can be used with VBR key or copy of VBR as ZBR for default G/L account foe service PO.

How many memory is used for the process of one connection?

Hi,
how many memory is used for the process of one connection in unix
when the user connects to the database?
Thanks,

Write some queries using v$sesstat, v$statname, v$session to find the statistics for different stats. Query name from v$statname and find whatever you wants. I don't think there is a common rule that tells how much memory will be used for each connection, it depends on different factors like , resources available, type of databases, database memory settings etc.
Example query.
select s.osuser osuser,s.serial# serial,se.sid,n.name,
max(se.value) maxmem
from v$sesstat se,
v$statname n
,v$session s
where n.statistic# = se.statistic#
and n.name in ('session pga memory','session pga memory max',
'session uga memory','session uga memory max')
and s.sid=se.sid
group by n.name,se.sid,s.osuser,s.serial#
order by 2

How pinnacle can be used for streaming video for mac app?

Hi naturalfemale,
As mentioned in the referring article, closed captioning content has to be specifically added/enabled to a video for closed captioning to function:
Additional Information
Not all videos include caption or subtitle tracks. Check the documentation for the video you are using to see if it includes these features.
OS X: Using captioning features in Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5910
At the moment, I do not believe there is an option for universal captioning.

How is solution manager useful for performance monitoring

Hi,
I want to check expensive sql statements in production and quality systems.How can solution manager be useful for this.
It would be great if anyone can provide me some documentation on this

Hi,
In Solution Manager, there is an Early Watch Analysis report which is generated and which has section in the report ' Performance Indicator' in that section you will get 2 things :
1. Top 10 Transaction codes which has huge response times.
2. Top 10 program which has huge response times.
and after that you also get the list of expensive SQL statement in the report and then you can just optimize the queries and improve system performance.

How to find script used for tcode VF31

Hi
How to find the Scripts or smartforms used for a particular tcode like VF31
Regards
Nanda

Hi Kishore,
Go to se38 and open the program RSNAST00. Search for the subroutine TNAPR_LESEN. Set a break point at that subroutine and go to transaction VF31. Run the transaction and give a form for printing. The processing stops at the subroutine and the debugger opens up. There double click on the field TNAPR-FONAM. This will display the name of the script or smartform that is used by the transaction.
Try the following link for further reference.

How is the fingerprint used for security

Dear all,
There were an excellent article last year about how the passcode is used in the security architecture of iOS
http://www.apple.com/ipad/business/docs/iOS_Security_Oct12.pdf
I was wondering how is the fingerprint used in the encrpyption mechanism.
- Is a hash generated and then the hash is compared and if ok the access is grante d?
- Is this hash is used in the deriving process of the encryption key ?
- etc ?
Many thanks in advance,
Regards

It cleans rather well for me but, i never actually touch the screen with my hands/fingers. Just get a microfiber cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner like method window cleaner from target:)

How to Optimize SCXI 1600 for speed with Thermocouples

I'm working on a data acquisition system for my engineering firm and I'm trying to find a way to use our new thermocouple system as fast as possible.
The requirements for the DAQ process are:
Read 32 voltage channels from a PCI-6071E card
Read 32 thermocouple channels from a SCXI-1600 with an 1102C accessory
Complete the entire operation in under 5ms (this is so other parts of the program can respond to the incoming data quickly and trigger safety protocols if necessary)
Using LabVIEW 7.1 and MAX 4.4, I've got the voltage channels working to my satisfaction (with traditional DAQ VIs) and the rep rates I measure when I run the program are around 1ms (I do this by putting the DAQ code in a loop and reading the millisecond timer every time through that loop, then calculating the average time between loop executions). I have been trying to get similar performance from the thermocouple channels using DAQ Assistant and DAQmx. Some of the problems I've encountered are:
Very slow rep rates with 1-sample and N-sample acquisition modes (300-500ms)
Good rep rates when I switch to continuous mode, but then I get buffer overflow error -200279.
When I attempted to correct that error by setting the DAQmx buffer to overwrite unread data and only read the most recent sample, the calculated sample rate went to 20ms. It was around 8ms when I left the error unhandled and continued acquisition.
At this point I'm out of ideas and am just looking for something to try and optimize the DAQ process for speed, as much as is possible.
Thank you for any help.

I guess I would be interested in checking out your code to see if there is anything I can recommend on changing. However, I do have a few general Ideas of how to improve your performance. These recommendations are purely based on what you could be doing to slow down the speed of the program because I am not sure how exactly you have everything set up.
-Are you setting up the task and closing the task each time that you read from your daq card?  the way to get around this is to only have the DAQmx read vi in the while loop so you do not have time alloted for opening and closing the task each time.
-Try using a Producer/Consumer architecture. This architecture uses queues and splits the aquisition with the post processing.  Here is a link to how to set up this architecture and some information on when to use it.

How to optimize the memory for a large labview array?

I am running LabView on Windows XP with 4 Gb of RAM. The array is 51X256X256 complex numbers, but I want 300x256x256. The program runs out of memory when I use more than 51-53 arrays of 256X256. I do not know how to use the in place element structure to modify the vi below. The unbundled/ bundle structures do not present symmetry. Anyone can help me with this? Thanks!

Norbert,
The full data3Dc array takes about 15.5 MB and the data3Dc comp.vi takes 31 MB. The empty data3Dc comp.vi array takes only 18.2 kB. This array is a variable that modifies at each scanned wavelength. I have a scanning wavelengths software package. For one wavelength I record a hologram followed by the reconstruction of the object field (1x256x256). 3D optical fields are added all together to create a big 3D optical field (Nx256x256). The code data3Dc comp_1.vi is not the only one in the memory. This VI is a subvi for other codes. A few other examples are FFT, IFFT, filtering, phase matching, cross-section, calibration….I did not care about memory optimization until now. So, I want to scan more than 50 wavelengths. By now (N=50) I have to restart the LabView after each scanning, do the reconstruction of the fields, start the LabView again to see the results. I think the problem is caused by this VI that is a subvi for other codes. I already extended the memory to 3GB in boot.ini, but the thing is that I want also a small scanning time. It doesn’t work. Extending the memory to 3GB makes the OS slower than before. My question is how to modify this array (data3Dc) or the VI (data3Dc comp.vi) to access lesser memory. I have tried to attach the full VI but it tells me that it is too big. I attached the empty one.
Thanks,
Mariana
