Parameters to increase Scheduling speed

Hi ,
I have a project with almost 500 Activities and i am updating the actuals. When i schedule every time(using F9) it takes very long time to schedule before i update the next activity.
Just i am looking 1. How to increase the scheduling speed?
2. Which parameters(Hardware or Software) control the Scheduling speed (For example RAM, Processor Speed / Operating system Etc.,)
3. Can i increase scheduling speed by changing any of them in item 2.
Appreciate your advise,
Regards,
Imad

Your hardware specs are woefully slow. I would look at upgrading your machine.
Scheduling slowdowns can be caused by P6 itself and normally I look the software setup first. In your case the processor/RAM may be the bottle neck. P6 runs fine on XP and a local install running SQL should be very quick.
P6 6.0 did have some issues that would cause a schedule to lock up or take a long time to schedule. You may also look into upgrading to a newer version.

How to increase the Speed of USB Devices (6501 and 6009)?

Hy guys!
My question is:
In datasheets of the USB devices, the only reference about the speed of
these boards is the Bus Interface speed (12Mbit/s). But in my
application (i'm trying to use delphi to control the device), each
instruction, doesn't matter if is a write or a read function, is taking
1ms to execute. Could i increase this speed?? What could be wrong?
OBS: I updated the Ni-DaqmxBase 1.4 to the new NI-DaqMx 7.5, and notting has changed.
Functions used:
istatus := DAQmxWriteDigitalU32(TaskEscrever, 1, 0, -1, DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel, @writedata,nil, nil);
istatus := DAQmxReadDigitalU32(taskLer, -1, 10, DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel, @readdata[j], 1,nil, nil);

Hello,
The two usb DAQ from NI are full speed interface (as you said 12M/s bus speed). The full speed interface has a frame size of 1ms, the root hub transmits a packet every 1.0 ms and this is the minimum time that you can read/write from/to usb device, normally because of the windows scheduling, 1ms is very tight, windows may miss it in some occasions, some usb device designers would prefer to use something between 2ms - 10ms polling period, which means some devices may even react to commands within 2ms - 10ms. But it looks like the two NI usb DAQ use the 1ms polling period and that is the shortest time you can get in software paced mode. If you need very fast digital update rate, you may need to look at PWM output, it generates digital pulses at very fast rate as the link given below, the iUSBDAQ - U120816 can generate PWM pulse from 3kHZ - 333kHZ.
NI USB DAQ maybe good, but it wouldn't hurt to look at some other company's product too. the below link of usb daq gives the best price/performance ratio, LabVIEW vis are very easy to use and you avoid the pre-configuration in a separate application for DAQs which sometimes may be big deal if your customers are not engineer or scientist, but regular computer users. You are welcome to compare.

Whats the best option to increase the speed on my mid 2010 macbook pro?

What choices are there for me to increase the speed of my computer ?

More RAM and a SSD. If you're running under 8GB of RAM, I would recommend upgrading to 8GB. You can check out Crucial or OWC for the correct RAM configuration for your model.
While you're at Crucial, I would also look at the available SSDs that would fit your machine - just use the System Scanner tab, and it will show you the recommended upgrades.
RAM and SSDs are about the only things you can upgrade to make your computer faster.
If you're new to SSDs, see my user tip here -> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4741.
Good luck,

My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

It may also be your graphics card. LabVIEW can max the CPU and you
screen may not be refreshing very fast.

How to increase the speed of Zoom on TIFF image

Hi everyone,
i m doing zooming operation on tiff image.
when i applied zoom in operation on image which have properties
Bit per sample =1
Image Length = 2200 Pixel
Image Width = 1700 Pixel
Resolution(x) = 200 dpi
Resolution(y) = 200 dpi
then it require 2 sec.
then i apply the same code with tiff image which have properties like,
Bit per sample =1
Image Length = 3300 Pixel
Image Width = 2500 Pixel
Resolution(x) = 300 dpi
Resolution(y) = 300 dpi
then it require 9 to 10 sec.
my code is:
RenderedImage src= oriRndImage[selectedButtonIndex];(orirndImage is Rendered
Iamge)
//Transfer Current RenderedImage object into BufferedImage object
Raster ra= currRimage.getData(); //it take time.
DataBuffer db = ra.getDataBuffer();
SampleModel sa = ra.getSampleModel();
ColorModel cm = currRimage.getColorModel();
final BufferedImage currImage = new
BufferedImage(cm,Raster.createWritableRaster(sa,db,null), false, new
Hashtable());
//Create new Bufferred Image
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(zoomW,zoomH, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g = bi.createGraphics();
double scaleW = (double)(zoomW)/(double)(prev_width);
double scaleH = (double)(zoomH)/(double)(prev_height);
transAtZoom = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(scaleW,scaleH);
g.drawRenderedImage(src, transAtZoom);
can any one plz suggest me the way ,how to increase the speed. of Zoom effect?
how to handle this problem?

No increase in speed with parallel processing on quad-core

I'm using the NI Vision vi "IMAQ correct calibrated image" on quite a large image. This takes about 0,09 seconds to complete, and only uses 1 core of my computer. (25% cpu time) I always need to correct two images, so I made two parallel execution lines, expecting that I would get 50% cpu usage (i.e. two cpu's used), and still 0,09 seconds to complete.
However, it takes 0,18 seconds to complete, with 25% cpu usage. It seems the code is not executing in parallel...
I checked the Vision vi, and it's simply a wrapper to a DLL call. I think I remember hearing once that dll calls are single-threaded... Is that the reason why I don't see any increase in speed? Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

This is no good news then.
But maybe you can introduce parallelism on your own?
Depending on the algorithm, you are using, you CAN split up the image on your own and make calls on the algorithm for each fraction and then put the (altered) fractions together to a new image again. I have not tried something like this, so in the worst case, it does even slow things down.
Nevertheless, if the image is large enough (so "split up" and "merging" overhead is negligible) AND the DLL itself can be called parallel (not sure if this works), you could possibly see some performance increase...

I set up time capsule using a wireless 4g modem. it's been five hours and it still is saying making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB). Can I stop the whole thing, get a ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?

I set up a new time capsule on a wireless 4g modem. I started the initial backup. It's been five hours and it still says "making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB)." Can I stop the whole thing, connect my computer to the time machine using an ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?
Thanks,

oh i already did that. Im working on my imac and looking into this on my macbook. Was able to reproduce the issue again by trying to open TM. Locked out the finder again and had to restart. I checked the serial number and it was an early 2009 purchase with no coverage.
If you bought a Mac and got AppleCare with it, within 2 years of buying the TC, the TC is covered, too.
I have to admit that this $500 unit was the first to apparently junk out. The western digital that had my main data on that is my daily external that I store about 2TB of data on is still perfect and the new technology TM appears to already be cashed. Love the computers, not to big of a fan on the externals of the apple TV's. No life expectancy. Neither here nor there.
suggestions before I either get this looked at or scrap the HD on it and move forward.?
Reset the TC. See [Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728].
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
If all else fails, take it to your local Apple Store or Authorized Repair location, they may be able to determine whether the disk is dead.
If it is, they might replace the TC for you. If not, they won't repair it, but if the electronics are ok, you can replace the HD yourself, if you want to. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2542983

Images scrolling across screen gradually increasing in speed?

Any way to do this?
I have a photo mosaic and i have each individual image used to make it up.
I want to make a video clip of the images gradually increasing in speed across the screen eventually forming the final image.
thanks.

So theres no way to make the images scroll across the screen then? at all?...
Seems like imovie can't do anything...just want some images scrolling across the screen.
Im guessing i will have to use something more high tech like final cut?

M30: Connect only with 42.6K - How to increase the speed

My M30 connect only with 42.6K speed. I try all options to increase the speed but success. If any one have the solution, please send me email at [email protected]
I try the other series on my telephone line and those connect at 52 to 54K speed. Even Desktop connect at 54K.

Hello
Please go to the device manager and choose the modem. Then right click and properties.
There you will find a many tabs. Please check if the option Maximum port speed in the Modem tab is set to highest value.
Furthermore you can check in the Advanced tab the button Advanced Port settings The controller should be also set to the high (max).
Please check these possibilities.

How can you increase the speed with a slider

I have been trying to work at this for about a week and a
half. I browsed several communities but it seems that noone has an
answer so I am not even sure if this is possible I am not a flash
expert but what I am trying to do is as follows;
I have a movie with several movie clips. I have an animation
of a female walking, I also have a slider that when I move it to
the right bags are added on to her. but what I am also trying to
accomplish is to have her walk faster as the slider moves to the
right.
I tried several scripts but they seem not to work as I wan
them to plus they start to cancel out the bag function.
How could I make this happen if it is even possible. I want
to use the slider to increase the speed of the lady walking. Slider
and Lady are movie clips.
thanks in advance

At present I'm not aware of any way to achieve this exact effect in Muse (where the first screen of a web page is resized to fill the browser window and the rest of the page, as you scroll down, appears to be fixed height layout).

How to increase the speed of producer-consumer architecture

Hey everyone -
This is a follow-up to a previous thread that I had posted (
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-use-a-dynamic-true-false-signal-with-a-case-structure/m-p/114...
), but my next question has taken a bit of a different direction so I have made a new thread.
Following tbob's suggestion, I am trying to use a producer-consumer architecture to start and stop data acquisition from a simulated NI 9237 device. I have attached the current version of our code to this post (Producer_Consumer_architecture.vi). Our main problem is that there is a significant lag between when elements get added to the queue using the Enqueue function, and when they are removed from the queue using the Dequeue function. As a result, the signals from our simulated DAQ channels run for much longer than they are supposed to, and the start-and-stop of data acquisition is not keeping in time with the simulated square wave signal (we would like our NI 9237 device to acquire data when the square wave has an amplitude over 3, and stop acquiring when the amplitude is under 3). If you allow the program to run for about 30 seconds, you will see what I mean (press the stop button twice to quit the program).
If anybody has any suggestions as to how we can increase the speed of the program, they would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

hello,
i don't have tools needed but , i see one thing is that you enqueue
every time you are greater 3 that means about every 2-3 ms so consumer is really sought
is it really what you want ?
may be you want to start on a treshold so you can use a treshold fonction
if i don't make mistake your square is 10 hz and the daq is configured 25000 sample 25000 hz
so you aquire 1s of signal every 100ms , there is something to correct
make tests and tell us

Hi,
Not sure you can do anything about this. I get vaiable import speeds - a lot depends on the actual disc. The Read Write spec is 24X but I rarely see speeds close to this.
