Just a Performance Question on BumbleBee

I use Bumblebee and have ran a few SIMPLE tests. Every time I run them, using "primusrun" performs slower than "optirun". In my bumblebee.conf, the Bridge mode is set to "auto". Is that causing the issue? From what I've read, primus is supposed to be faster.
Example of my latest "quick test":
glxspheres:
Nothing: 58 f/s
Optirun: 128 f/s
Primusrun: 62 f/s
Hardware: Acer Aspire laptop, i7, 8 GB RAM, nVidia GT 730M
Does anyone else have lower performance from Primus that from nVidia?

Does the bumblebee work well on your laptop everytime? Does the bumblebee appear the kernel panic sometimes?

  • Just a technical question

    Hi,
    I'm not a developer but I wanted to ask here since I presume there're a lot more tech savvy people that could possibly give me a proper answer to just one small question regarding behavior of Mac OS X using the following example: at some moment I suddenly discovered that the Trackpad option which allows for search through the English Dictionary (Thesaurus, etc) tapping a highlighted word with three fingers no longer worked as before: when I tapped nothing happened or other word was "processed" in what seemed to me to be a chaotic order. I reset PRAM and its normal functioning returned. What exactly happened with the system that it started act incorrectly until the PRAM reset? I remember though that some days ago (before I discovered the issue) I did one more SMC and PRAM reset and performing the latter I released the combination of keys after the third chime. I then thought that it was too much so I repeated the operation exactly as recommended. Could the repetitive reset of PRAM be the reason and kind of shock to the OS?
    Would be happy to hear your opinions
    Have a nice day   

    Are you sure you haven;t turn it off in System Preferences->TrackPad;Point & Click?
    There it is called Lookup

  • BPM performance question

    Guys,
    I do understand that ccPBM is very resource hungry but what I was wondering is this:
    Once you use BPM, does an extra step decreases the performance significantly? Or does it just need slightly more resources?
    More specifically we have quite complex mapping in 2 BPM steps. Combining them would make the mapping less clear but would it worth doing so from the performance point of view?
    Your opinion is appreciated.
    Thanks a lot,
    Viktor Varga

    Hi,
    In SXMB_ADM you can set the time out higher for the sync processing.
    Go to Integration Processing in SXMB_ADM and add parameter SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_ASYNC_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT to 120 (seconds). You can also increase the number of parallel processes if you have more waiting now. SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_MAX_SYNC_CALLS from 20 to XX. All depends on your hardware but this helped me from the standard 60 seconds to go to may be 70 in some cases.
    Make sure that your calling system does not have a timeout below that you set in XI otherwise yours will go on and finish and your partner may end up sending it twice
    when you go for BPM the whole workflow
    has to come into action so for example
    when your mapping last < 1 sec without bpm
    if you do it in a BPM the transformation step
    can last 2 seconds + one second mapping...
    (that's just an example)
    so the workflow gives you many design possibilities
    (brigde, error handling) but it can
    slow down the process and if you have
    thousands of messages the preformance
    can be much worse than having the same without BPM

  • Xcontrol: performance question (again)

    Hello,
    I've got a little performance question regarding xcontrols. I observed rather high cpu-load when using xcontrols. To investigate it further, I built a minimal xcontrol (boolean type) which only writes the received boolean-value to a display-element in it's facade (see attached example). When I use this xcontrol in a test-vi and write to it with a rate of 1000 booleans / second, I get a cpu-load of about 10%. When I write directly to a boolean display element instead of the xcontrol,I have a load of 0 to 1 %. The funny thing is, when I emulate the xcontrol functionality with a subvi, a subpanel and a queue (see example), I only have 0 to 1% cpu-load, too.
    Is there a way to reduce the cpu-load when using xcontrols? 
    If there isn't and if this is not a problem with my installation but a known issue, I think this would be a potential point for NI to fix in a future update of LV.

    Okay, I think I understand question  now.  You want to know why an equivalent xcontrol boolean consumes 10x more CPU resource than the LV base package boolean?
    Okay, try opening the project I replied yesterday.  I don't have access to LV at my desk so let's try this. Open up your xcontrol facade.vi.  Notice how I separated up your data event into two events?  Go the data change vi event, when looping back the action, set the isDataChanged (part of the data change cluster) to FALSE.  While the data input (the one displayed on your facade.vi front panel), set that isDataChanged to TRUE.  This is will limit the number of times facade will be looping.  It will not drop your CPU down from 10% to 0% but it should drop a little, just enough to give you a short term solution.  If that doesn't work, just play around with the loopback statement.  I can't remember the exact method.
    Yeah, I agree xcontrol shouldn't be overconsuming system resource.  I think xcontrol is still in its primitive form and I'm not sure if NI is planning on investing more times to bug fix or even enhance it.  Imo, I don't think xcontrol is quite ready for primetime yet.   Just too many issues that need improvement.

  • Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    I found that the only time Siri will read anything to you is if it finds a Wikipedia article. Siri will let you know it found that, and ask if you want it to be read out loud. Other than that you will hear the "I found this, take a look".
    The only other thing you can do is activate "Speak Screen". It will involve you taking a look at your phone for a moment, selecting what you'd like to look at, but Siri will read the content to you. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility.  Once activated, all you have to do is slide two fingers from the top of the screen and you will have it read to you. I use it all the time because of my astigmatism. It's pretty useful.

  • Static method,new thread performance question

    Hey guys i just have two questions about two methods used in many controllers/servlets in my app:
    1-what is the difference between calling a static method in a util class or a non static method (like methods dealing with dates i.e getting current time,converting between timezones), which is better ? 2-what is the difference between calling a method(contain too many logic like sending emails) in the controller directly or running this method in a different thread ?

It's impossible to say straight why one way would be better than another. Programming isn't that straight forward.
    2-what is the difference between calling a method(contain too many logic like sending emails) in the controller directly or running this method in a different thread ?Threads can be run at the same time. So what you're asking is "what's the difference between doing one thing after another and doing two things at the same time".

  • Simple performance question

    Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
    I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
    When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
    When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
    Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
    private void process(){
    for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
    for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
      for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
        for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
             if (add)
             matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  += constant;
             else
             matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  -= constant;
    private void process(){
      if (add)
    for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
    for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
      for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
        for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
             matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  += constant;
    else
    for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
    for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
      for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
        for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
           matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  -= constant;
    }Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

    erjoalgo wrote:
    I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
    matrix[i][ii][iii][...]  +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
    but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

  • Just a quick question regards my mobo..

    I might possibly bricked my motherboard which I already ask a while back,, just a quick question,,, Now I did hooked up the powersupply to the motherboard alone,,, no other components,,, just the PSU and motherboard,,, then I use a paperclip to put static force on the motherboard's power button ( where powercables on the case should suppose to be in ),,, now the motherboard just keeps on blinking as my problem b4,, so its really the motherboard right??? I just want to confirm that the motherboard is the problem and no other components... thnks

    Not in the Safari browser she can't. That is not supported on the iPad. There are other mobile browsers that do have that functionality - one is iCab Mobile.

    You obviously don't understand the results, and the first reply to your posting on java.net clearly explains what you missed.
    The event queue is using Thread.wait to sleep until it gets some more events to dispatch. You have incorrectly diagnosed the sleep waiting as your performance bottleneck.
