PPBM5 Questions and GPU Rendering Concerns

Bill and Harm, i figured i woud post this here instead of a private email so as to get some opinions and input from others.
I am a bit confused with the logic behind the gpu testing and want to make sure i understand how this is working and make sure i dont have any problems with my machine.
I just wiped out my 8 core, 20GB ram, SSD, gtx 460/2GB, machine and put a fresh win7/64 on it with cs5 and nothing else.
i am planning on doing various tests with the SSD, then SATA Raid, then my 4gbit fibrechannel in combinations.
My concern is over the gpu acceleration and timeline rendering. My basis for wanting these gfx cards with cs5 is on the PPBM results showing all kinds of double digit speed gains with MPE enabled.
I have 8 of these machines and need to upgrade them all so i am concerned to make sure what i am doing and what i am getting for it.
my first obvious question for everyone else is when you load the benchmark in what do you see on the timeline? i have all yellow except for two small red lines near the end of each section where the curtain and cube effects are at.
Now when i hit the spacebar to play the timeline at starts out ok but then hits the 8 second mark into it and chokes out the rest of the way skipping frames and drawing maybe 3-5 frames per second until it gets through the rest. Is this what happens for everyone else or does your system play the yellow area smoothly?
Is this a by-product of my manually putting the 460 into my supported cards file and premiere not properly calculating what the gpu can and cannot accelerate?
Now as for the benchmark testing itself when i hit enter it simply renders out those 2 effects that have the red line then starts playing the same choked out skippy video as before.
So if this speed is calculated and then the speed of my cpu rendering the entire timeline then how is this an effective comparison? if i simply remove those two effects at the end then i still have that big complicated timeline and yet if i hit enter it just plays choppy video instantly and nothing is rendered, so compared to my cpu thats a bazillion times faster but i dont get anything out of it as the video doesnt actually play with the gpu.
My real concern and need is flat out rendering speed for encoding. i had high hopes that getting a video card with hundreds of cores on it would magically render out mpeg 2 files 10-20x faster then my cpus can.
i saved out a pic of my cores when i am playing the timeline, you can see they are not being maxxed out.
Before i wiped my system out i tried the trial version of the mainconcept gpu encoder and it went slower with the gpu than it did with my cpus. Their email response to me was that gpu rendering is more of an advantage against slow cpu systems. and my cpu's were too fast in comparison. I find this hard to believe in that my system is several years old now. thier own performance comparison charts show a tremendous speed increase over modern I7 processors.
On a side note - DONT INSTALL MAINCONCEPT TRIAL ENCODER!- it hijaacked my mpeg encoding/decoding even when i wasnt using it and it was watermarking all my stuff in premiere with its logo!
I also have been using a program called canopus procoder which does great encoding with multi cores, a standard dv to mpeg2 encode on my system maxxes all 8 cores and renders about 14x faster than realtime.
I hoped a cuda card could increase this speed for me and render faster then that directly out of premiere. I would think during rendering your cpu's and gpu's would work together at 100% usage to go as fast as possible. i would like to see 20-30x realtime speed for mpeg2 encoding in my situation.
Thanks and i look forward to any input or help or even a simple "click on this and yoru problem is solved"

harm, thats kind of funny actually, you show us a report of your dropped frames on playback then say you cant tell us how because of NDA, yet we obviously know you have an app that reports the dropped frames during playback
But thats ok, anyways as far as your ppbm goes i love it and dont mean to desparage it in any way, i have been a big supporter and love the work you and bill have put into it. I am really just trying to have a better understanding of how it works.
My concern is more about premiere as opposed to ppbm. I want to know if my system matches what everyone else sees, when i load the project is get this:
i just want to make sure everyone else has the same tiny red sections that premiere feels it can't play.
previously premiere has always either played in realtime at 30fps or shown a red line which needs to be rendered. then if you render it you get full 30fps playback on the entire timeline.
now with this new gpu workflow i can only render those two tiny little red sections and the rest of my timeline plays at about 2 or 3 fps from 8 seconds into the timeline until the end.
So I actually have no physical way to see my video at full 30fps without changing to software mode and rendering the entire timeline? or am i missing something here?
Isn't premiere supposed to recognize when it cant keep up with 30fps playback and change that section of the timeline to red?
And on a side note i still have to say i am fairly annoyed that an adobe employee took it upon themselves to move my thread into the unpopular generic premiere hardware forum, when this is a very specific premiere cs5 question thread. I have never even looked in this forum for any cs5 posts before now and had hoped to get more feedback from users in the main premiere cs5 forum. A lot of companies like to treat their customers well and the old addage "the customer is always right" doesn't seem to apply anymore. My company probably has purchased over $1,000,000 in adobe software licenses over the years which i feel would make me a valuable customer, and i have some important questions i need to ask about the new version of your software and how it is supposed to work.
thanks

In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

2 question about GPU and Lens correction ,cs5

Hi
i have 2 questions about Gpu and lens correction in Cs5
1)Filter->lens correction->search online
i get often and almost every connection time out at the first click on search online , at the second click i get no online profile
is it normal?
2) question is about Gpu
it run faster , but talking about ajustament layer
like saturation or vibrance for example
i found with the gpu on , a light slow refresh compared with gpu off
i have set cache levels 6 ,history 20
i guess are the defaul
well i add a saturation layer and move the saturation slide ,increase o decrease saturation
with Gpu Off , the changes are immedially , i mean i can see in real time the increase o decrease of saturation
with Gpu On it takes a few(very few) time more
again is normal ?
don't be angry , i'm going to buy cs5 and i'm unsecure ... the price make a big role
thanks

For what it's worth, I also see a timeout on the first [ Search Online ] click, after about half a minute delay. Second click turns up results immediately. This happens each time Lens Correction is started, even without restarting Photoshop, and in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Also note that I started with one profile listed by default (though from the wrong camera) for my 40D with 28-135 zoom.
I alsow noticed that I was seeing progress bar activity in the Lens Correction dialog while I was typing this (even though Lens Correction was NOT the active window) every time I hit the 'L' key. Strange.

How to use filters on ios mobile devices (iPhone/iPad) using GPU rendering (Solved)

Many moons ago I asked a question here on the forums about how to use filters (specifically a glow filter) on a mobile devices (specifically the iPhone) when using GPU rendering and high resolution.
At the time, there was no answer... filters were unsupported. Period.
Well, Thanks to a buddy of mine, this problem has been solved and I can report that I have gotten a color matrix filter for desaturation AND a glow filter working on the iPhone and the iPad using GPU rendering and high resolution.
The solution, in a nut shell is as follows:
1: Create your display object... ie: a sprite.
2. Apply your filter to the sprite like you normally would.
3. Create a new bitmapdata and then draw that display object into the bitmap data.
4. Put the new bitmapdata into a bitmap and then put it on the stage or do what you want.
When you draw the display object into the bitmapdata, it will draw it WITH THE FILTER!
So even if you put your display object onto the stage, the filter will not be visible, but the new bitmapdata will!
Here is a sample app I created and tested on the iphone and ipad
var bm:Bitmap;
// temp bitmap object
var bmData:BitmapData;
// temp bitmapData object
var m:Matrix;
// temp matrix object
var gl:GlowFilter;
// the glow filter we are going to use
var sprGL:Sprite;
// the source sprite we are going to apply the filter too
var sprGL2:Sprite;
// the sprite that will hold our final bitmapdata containing the original sprite with a filter.
// create the filters we are going to use.
gl = new GlowFilter(0xFF0000, 0.9, 10, 10, 5, 2, false, false);
// create the source sprite that will use our glow filter.
sprGL = new Sprite();
// create a bitmap with any image from our library to place into our source sprite.
bm = new Bitmap(new Msgbox_Background(), "auto", true);
// add the bitmap to our source sprite.
sprGL.addChild(bm);
// add the glow filter to the source sprite.
sprGL.filters = [gl];
// create the bitmapdata that will draw our glowing sprite.
sprGL2 = new Sprite();
// create the bitmap data to hold our new image... remember, with glow filters, you need to add the padding for the flow manually. Should be double the blur size
bmData = new BitmapData(sprGL.width+20, sprGL.height+20, true, 0);
// create a matrix to translate our source image when we draw it. Should be the same as our filter blur size.
m = new Matrix(1,0,0,1, 10, 10);
// draw the source sprite containing the filter into our bitmap data
bmData.draw(sprGL, m);
// put the new bitmap data into a bitmap so we can see it on screen.
bm = new Bitmap(bmData, "auto", true);
// put the new bitmap into a sprite - this is just because the rest of my test app needed it, you can probably just put the bitmap right on the screen directly.
sprGL2.addChild(bm);
// put the source sprite with the filter on the stage. It should draw, but you will not see the filter.
sprGL.x = 100;
sprGL.y = 50;
this.addChild(sprGL);
// put the filtered sprite on the stage. it shoudl appear like the source sprite, but a little bigger (because of the glow padding)
// and unlike the source sprite, the flow filter should acutally be visible now!
sprGL2.x = 300;
sprGL2.y = 50;
this.addChild(sprGL2);

Great stuff dave
I currently have a slider which changes the hue of an image in a movieclip, I need it to move through he full range -180 to 180.
I desperately need to get this working on a tablet but cant get the filters to work in GPU mode. My application works too slow in cpu mode.
var Mcolor:AdjustColor = new AdjustColor();   //This object will hold the color properties
var Mfilter:ColorMatrixFilter;                           //Will store the modified color filter to change the image
var markerSli:SliderUI = new SliderUI(stage, "x", markerSli.track_mc, markerSli.slider_mc, -180, 180, 0, 1);   //using slider from http://evolve.reintroducing.com
Mcolor.brightness = 0; Mcolor.contrast = 0; Mcolor.hue = 0; Mcolor.saturation = 0;            // Set initial value for filter
markerSli.addEventListener(SliderUIEvent.ON_UPDATE, markerSlider);                          // listen for slider changes
function markerSlider($evt:SliderUIEvent):void {
    Mcolor.hue = $evt.currentValue;
    updateM();
function updateM():void{
    Mfilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(Mcolor.CalculateFinalFlatArray());
    all.marker.filters = [Mfilter];
how would I use your solution in my case
many thanks.

CPU and GPU slow down after system upgrade

Ok, I can't find anything similar to the question I have...but this forum goes on forever
As my system specs appear below, my machine was running quite comfortably a week ago, with same setup...minus the acrylic case and second 120GB hard drive.
At that stage I had "nomal" benchmarking scores 3dmark03 - 5850, Aquamark3 41.000, PC mark 2002 - cpu7020 mem8438 hdd1050.
Life was good and I loved my system
Then I decided it would be cool to upgrade to an acrylic case (which has better cooling with 3 fans) and a second 120 GB HDD to make a striped raid array.
My first concern was the raid Array. I was carefull to buy the exact same seagate hard drive, size etc. the original was only a month old anyway. The second was to use the intel southbridge chip for SATA RAID or the Promise controller? After researching these forums I decided to go with the Intel as it has more possible bandwidth and doesn't sit on the PCI bus.
I got the new case and wearing those stupid white gloves, proceeded to move the components over and trash my "old" metal case.
The windows NTFS format (full) flew by in 30 seconds and I was really impressed.
Once windows xp and all it's drivers and updates were installed, incl sound and graphics etc. I did a 3Dmark 2001 test before upgrading to Dx9...what a bad mark! 3Dmark2001SE - 9950 (terrible for this system).
I thought it was a DX problem...so I installed Dx9
Then opened that corecenter program (the old one, the one that doesn't crash...)
and my CPU was about 5c hotter than usual, it was running at 40-42c (I have standard intel cooling fan). It went up to 55 at times when running PC mark 2002.
This didn't concern me too much a the system was stable at 32-34c and the northbridge read 60c (but we all know that's not true , more like 35ish.
My PC mark 2002 is now cpu4200 - mem4800 - hdd1800
(at least the HDD improved!) LOL
I ran Aquamark3 next...29,900 (ouch!)
Previously my CPU was 8,700 and GPU was 5300
now the CPU read 4400 and the GPU 4600
I don't really notice the speed loss when working, but games and benchmarks tell a different story.
So, My question: What has happened? Why is my CPU power cut in half? and the graphics card slightly slower? The memory speed stayed the same and the HDD speed improved....not a worthwhile upgrade IMO
What went wrong?
Here are my theories.
1) The CPU and system case is getting too hot
Does the CPU "throttle" when it overheats? this could be the reason.
Also both HDD get really hot and the fan in front blows air over them, this hot air could be going over the CPU or GPU. Maybe get 2 HDD coolers?
should I buy a better CPU cooler like the Thermaltake spark7+ ?
2) The PSU does not have enough watts
I couldn't find traces of voltage lack or spikes...but it could still be a problem
3) The RAID0 array is a strain on the CPU and chipset
I'm not sure about this.
My appologies for the lengthy thread, but I wanted to be sure that anyone trying to figure this out had as much info as possible
Thanks if u can help me figure this out.

Perhaps I should upgrade the overall cooling. Get a Thermaltake copper fan and two HDD coolers.
Well, your temps sound allright, no need to worry them, if they really operate at that level.

The solution to set the FSB to 201Mhz sounds good. But do I set this in the BIOS or with Corecenter in windoze?
Propably meant to adust your FSB at BIOS, at least that is what I would suggest.

I will try to re-install the VGA drivers because something strange DID happen when I first installed them. I started with the hercules driver CD, this installed CAT 3.2 drivers. I then upgraded to CAT 3.7 and before it completed I got an error window (send, dont send).
Remove drivers AND ATI control panel first, and then re-install. Use drivers from ATI site, and rather Catalyst 3.7. I Have had problems with 3.8 Catalysts.

Still wouldn't explain why the CPU seems so crippled. I have managed to get a "normal cpu score of 7000+ in PCmark2002 by shutting down, restarting later and killing every process except explorer.
Do you have any processes that seem to eat more juice thant hey should? Arrange your processes by CPU usage and see if there is something strange.

If this cant be fixed I will reinstall over the weekend. Does anyone know of the RAID0 array on the southbridge causing a system slowdown?
I'm using Intel RAID and it works perfectly, no extra CPU usage is shown and it's pleasantly fast!
And Install latest Intel INF updates and Application Accelerator from Intel site. That's what I'm using, and works fine.

Sequence Settings Video Previews and GPU?

Dear PrP CC Users,
I wanted to get some information partaining to sequence settings.
In the bottom box of Sequence Settings: Video Previews. There are three un/tick boxes:
Maximum Bit Depth
Maximum Render Quality
Composite In Linear Color (requires GPU acceleration or max render quality)
Normally I tick all of them. I have a Windforce GTX 770 4GB CUDA mercury engine enabled. I have also set to Optimise rendering for: Performance.
My questions are as follows.
-Do these selections effect the final output of a timeline for delivery or is it merely for during regular playback and preview rendering?
-Also, when I export using Media Encoder through dynamic link, is it bad to Use Previews for a faster export, often I export to ProRes4444 for Grading, I heard that Preview files will always differ as its created by the GPU and can slightly change the colours dependent on the GPU you have, thus is it better to export and allow it to re-render using the CPU in Media Encoder (I always set maximum bit depth and quality)?
-Lastly, in the export process, when I select Maximum Bit Depth, there are options of the bit depth value (32, 48, 64) does this become redundant since I checked maximum bit depth?
Thank you.

The first two boxes only affect previews. The same boxes in the Export Settings dialog will override those and determine the output.
Using previews for export is generally not a good idea, as doing so will incur an additional compression step. The exception is when the previews are lossless (or nearly so, as with DNxHD).
Not working with ProRes, I've never seen those options.

GPU rendering disabled

Hi,
I just updated to flash player 10.1 and I am using FF 3.6.6.
Now a certain website, which uses flash content, tells me this "GPU rendering (wmode) has been disabled by Adobe"
So, what now? WTF? How I can enable it again. I can't watch the flash content in this state.
I would be grateful for any help!
Cheers,

I Need Suggestions On Capturing, Timeline Settings and Final Rendering

Okay folks, this is me confused! I've been editing videos for the past two years and that isn't saying much as I've only trained myself through trial and error and reading manuals. I simply pretend that I know what I am talking about:) I have purchased the 5D Mark II and have FCP7. I think I'm doing okay, but I know there must be a better way of doing things and need help in doing so.
I film 1920x1080 30fps. I capture my footage with the default settings on the EOS disc that comes with the camera (works great), then I run my footage through MPEG Streamclip and convert them to XDCAM HD 30. From there I allow FCP to auto set the timeline to match the footage and then I edit away. So far so good and I'm really not complaining. However, since I have been making things up as I go along for so long, I have several missing pieces to my understanding of best quality film. I've been trying to figure out the use of ProRes codecs. My limited understanding (what I've heard and read) is that ProRes provides some of the highest quality. So my question is, should I then scratch the XDCAM codec conversion and go straight to ProRes, then edit ProRes and then final render as such? I'm confused because there are people that have said that you should edit in a lesser format and then render in the higher quality of ProRes since ProRes takes up more space on the hard drive (bigger files), yet, when I read official info on ProRes, the claim is that the files are small. So there is confusion number one. Then, confusion two, is if I edit in XDCAM or ProRes, what then? Meaning, is it best to send to compressor upon rendering or do I send it to QT or QT Conversion and then send that file to Compressor, or do I leave it at that and send to DVDSP? I know this is elementary, but all the conversations that I have found seem to be based on the understanding that I should already know this. So, I'm embarrased to say, I don't know, "this".
I have however, taken an edited a XDCAM timeline and then changed the Render Setting to ProRes and sent it to QT or QT Conversion (I can't remember which one sorry). The video had some text at the very end, and it looked incredibly jagged (no bueno). So I know that I was assuming or doing something wrong, and my "trial and error" has run its course as I have nearly run out of time. Therefore, I call upon the Discussion Board for help.
To sum up my questions:
1. Should I convert to ProRes to begin with instead of XDCAM?
2. Do I edit in ProRes and what should I make the settings for the Sequence (or should I allow FCP to auto select based on video files settings)?
3. What next? Do I send that sequence to QT, QT Conversion or to Compressor? If QT or QT Conversion, should I send it to Compressor after that?
4. What should I have my settings be over all on my Sequence?
I hope I'm not too annoying with my questions, and any help would be great.
Thanks,
Crayton

1. Yes, absolutely. By immediately converting to a long gop format you are throwing away TONS of information.
2. Auto-select. By all means match clip and sequence settings
3. You haven't said what your deliverable is, so can't advise you how to export.
4. See #2.
Pro-rez will be larger files than what you are getting from the camera. Get used to it, drives are cheap.

Organization Management Interview Questions and Answers Extremely Urgent

Hi,
Please let me know Organization Management Interview Questions and Answers. MOST MOST URGENT
Please do not post Link or website name and detail response will be highly appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Sameer.
SAP HR .

Hi there,
Pl. find herewith the answers of the questions posted on the forum.
1. What are plan versions used for?
Ans : Plan versions are scenarios in which you can create organizational plans.
     In the plan version which you have flagged as the active plan version, you create your current valid organizational plan. This is also the integration plan version which will be used if integration with Personnel Administration is active.
     You use additional plan versions to create additional organizational plans as planning scenarios.
As a rule, a plan version contains one organizational structure, that is, one root organizational unit. It is, however, possible to create more than one root organizational unit, that is more than one organizational structure in a plan version.
For more information on creating plan versions, see the Implementation Guide (IMG), under Personnel Management  Global Settings in Personnel Management  Plan Version Maintenance.
2. What are the basic object types?
Ans. An organization object type has an attribute that refers to an object of the organization management (position, job, user, and so on). The organization object type is linked to a business object type.
Example
The business object type BUS1001 (material) has the organization object type T024L (laboratory) as the attribute that on the other hand has an object of the organization management as the attribute. Thus, a specific material is linked with particular employees using an assigned laboratory.
3. What is the difference between a job and a position?
Ans. Job is not a concrete, it is General holding various task to perform which is generic.(Eg: Manager, General Manager, Executive).
Positions are related to persons and Position is concrete and specific which are occupied by Persons. (Eg: Manager - HR, GM HR, Executive - HR).
4. What is the difference between an organizational unit and a work centre?
Ans. Work Centre : A work center is an organizational unit that represents a suitably-equipped zone where assigned operations can be performed. A zone is a physical location in a site dedicated to a specific function.
Organization Unit : Organizational object (object key O) used to form the basis of an organizational plan. Organizational units are functional units in an enterprise. According to how tasks are divided up within an enterprise, these can be departments, groups or project teams, for example.
Organizational units differ from other units in an enterprise such as personnel areas, company codes, business areas etc. These are used to depict structures (administration or accounting) in the corresponding components.
5. Where can you maintain relationships between objects?
Ans. Infotype 1001 that defines the Relationships between different objects.
There are many types of possible relationships between different objects. Each individual relationship is actually a subtype or category of the Relationships infotype.
Certain relationships can only be assigned to certain objects. That means that when you create relationship infotype records, you must select a relationship that is suitable for the two objects involved. For example, a relationship between two organizational units might not make any sense for a work center and a job.
6. What are the main areas of the Organization and Staffing user interfaces?
Ans. You use the user interface in the Organization and Staffing or Organization and Staffing (Workflow) view to create, display and edit organizational plans.
The user interface is divided into various areas, each of it which fulfills specific functions.
Search Area
Selection Area
Overview Area
Details Area
Together, the search area and the selection area make up the Object Manager.
7. What is Expert Mode used for?
Ans. interface is used to create Org structure. Using Infotypes we can create Objects in Expert mode and we have to use different transactions to create various types of objects. If the company needs to create a huge structure, we will use Simple maintenance, because it is user friendly that is it is easy to create a structure, the system automatically relationship between the objects.
8. Can you create cost centers in Expert Mode?
Ans. Probably not. You create cost center assignments to assign a cost center to an organizational unit, or position.
When you create a cost center assignment, the system creates a relationship record between the organizational unit or position and the cost center. (This is relationship A/B 011.) No assignment percentage record can be entered.
9. Can you assign people to jobs in Expert Mode?
10. Can you use the organizational structure to create a matrix organization?
Ans. By depicting your organizational units and the hierarchical or matrix relationships between them, you model the organizational structure of your enterprise.
This organizational structure is the basis for the creation of an organizational plan, as every position in your enterprise is assigned to an organizational unit. This defines the reporting structure.
11. In general structure maintenance, is it possible to represent the legal entity of organizational units?
12. What is the Object Infotype (1000) used for?
Ans. Infotype that determines the existence of an organizational object.
As soon as you have created an object using this infotype, you can determine additional object characteristics and relationships to other objects using other infotypes.
To create new objects you must:
     Define a validity period for the object
     Provide an abbreviation to represent the object
     Provide a brief description of the object
The validity period you apply to the object automatically limits the validity of any infotype records you append to the object. The validity periods for appended infotype records cannot exceed that of the Object infotype.
The abbreviation assigned to an object in the system renders it easily identifiable. It is helpful to use easily recognizable abbreviations.
You can change abbreviations and descriptions at a later time by editing object infotype records. However, you cannot change an objects validity period in this manner. This must be done using the Delimit function.
You can also delete the objects you create. However, if you delete an object the system erases all record of the object from the database. You should only delete objects if they are not valid at all (for example, if you create an object accidentally)
13. What is the Relationships Infotype (1001) used for?
Ans. Infotype that defines the Relationships between different objects.
You indicate that a employee or user holds a position by creating a relationship infotype record between the position and the employee or user. Relationships between various organizational units form the organizational structure in your enterprise. You identify the tasks that the holder of a position must perform by creating relationship infotype records between individual tasks and a position.
Creating and editing relationship infotype records is an essential part of setting up information in the Organizational Management component. Without relationships, all you have are isolated pieces of information.
You must decide the types of relationship record you require for your organizational structure.
If you work in Infotype Maintenance, you must create relationship records manually. However, if you work in Simple Maintenance and Structural Graphics, the system creates certain relationships automatically.
14. Which status can Infotypes in the Organizational Management component have?
Ans. Once you have created the basic framework of your organizational plan in Simple Maintenance, you can create and maintain all infotypes allowed for individual objects in your organizational plan. These can be the basic object types of Organizational Management organizational unit, position, work center and task. You can also maintain object types, which do not belong to Organizational Management.
15. What is an evaluation path?
Ans. An evaluation path describes a chain of relationships that exists between individual organizational objects in the organizational plan.
Evaluation paths are used in connection with the definition of roles and views.
The evaluation path O-S-P describes the relationship chain Organizational unit > Position > Employee.
Evaluation paths are used to select other objects from one particular organizational object. The system evaluates the organizational plan along the evaluation path.
Starting from an organizational unit, evaluation path O-S-P is used to establish all persons who belong to this organizational unit or subordinate organizational units via their positions.
16. What is Managers Desktop used for?
Ans. Manager's Desktop assists in the performance of administrative and organizational management tasks. In addition to functions in Personnel Management, Manager's Desktop also covers other application components like Controlling, where it supports manual planning or the information system for cost centers.
17. Is it possible to set up new evaluation paths in Customizing?
Ans. You can use the evaluation paths available or define your own. Before creating new evaluation paths, check the evaluation paths available as standard.
18. Which situations require new evaluation paths?
Ans. When using an evaluation path in a view, you should consider the following:
Define the evaluation path in such a manner that the relationship chain always starts from a user (object type US in Organizational Management) and ends at an organizational unit, a position or a user.
When defining the evaluation path, use the Skip indicator in order not to overload the result of the evaluation.
19. How do you set up integration between Personnel Administration and Organizational Management?
Ans. Integration between the Organizational Management and Personnel Administration components enables you to,
Use data from one component in the other
Keep data in the two components consistent
Basically its relationship between person and position.
Objects in the integration plan version in the Organizational Management component must also be contained in the following Personnel Administration tables:
Tables                    Objects
T528B and T528T     Positions
T513S and T513     Jobs
T527X                    Organizational units
If integration is active and you create or delete these objects in Organizational Management transactions, the system also creates or deletes the corresponding entries automatically in the tables mentioned above. Entries that were created automatically are indicated by a "P". You cannot change or delete them manually. Entries you create manually cannot have the "P" indicator (the entry cannot be maintained manually).
You can transfer either the long or the short texts of Organizational Management objects to the Personnel Administration tables. You do this in the Implementation Guide under Organizational Management -> Integration -> Integration with Personnel Administration -> Set Up Integration with Personnel Administration. If you change these control entries at a later date, you must also change the relevant table texts. To do that you use the report RHINTE10 (Prepare Integration (OM with PA)).
When you activate integration for the first time, you must ensure that the Personnel Administration and the Organizational Management databases are consistent. To do this, you use the reports:
        RHINTE00 (Adopt organizational assignment (PA to PD))
        RHINTE10 (Prepare Integration (PD to PA))
        RHINTE20 (Check Program Integration PA - PD)
        RHINTE30 (Create Batch Input Folder for Infotype 0001)
The following table entries are also required:
        PLOGI PRELI in Customizing for Organizational Management (under Set Up Integration with Personnel Administration). This entry defines the standard position number.
        INTE in table T77FC
        INTE_PS, INTE_OSP, INTEBACK, INTECHEK and INTEGRAT in Customizing under Global Settings ® Maintain Evaluation Paths.
These table entries are included in the SAP standard system. You must not change them.
Since integration enables you to create relationships between persons and positions (A/B 008), you may be required to include appropriate entries to control the validation of these relationships. You make the necessary settings for this check in Customizing under Global Settings ® Maintain Relationships.
Sincerely,

Why mac pro 2013 not supporting illustrator GPU rendering

Here, all nvidia cards supporting this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/gpu-performance-preview-improvements.html
now I'm thinking, that buying the new mac pro 2013 maybe wasn't the best idea... Apple put in AMD GPu's, that is fine by me, but come on, give us some more support for them! Normal windows PC (for 800€) with nvidia GPU is faster at rendering in Illustrator, than my workstation mac (3500+€)! Really? O.o
And story doesn't end here. I was reading one article about GPU usage in this new mac pro and then I tested it myself. Only one GPU is used and the other is barely touched! And this goes for Maya, photoshop, illustrator and other adobe programs. I was shocked, that I discovered I have one GPU to warm up my room and only one actually doing all the work.
Ok I understand, that also software developers needs to support stuff and write their software to actually use GPU's, but adobe creative suite is one of examples, where software is actually capable of using GPU via openCL and in some cases even CUDA from nvidia.
And there is one more thing: new mac pro, has 2 identical AMD GPU's inside, which can work in crossfire configuration under windows in bootcamp, but not in OS X. Sometimes I even play some games on my mac and sometimes I'm testing them (I'm artist, but I also like to develop and test some games in my free time) and it's kinda a shame, that I can run games with better performance under windows in bootcamp.
When I bought this computer I thought this is going to rock and sweep up with all my previous machines. Well in practice it is much of unused potential and great room warmer. It's kinda sad, that on my girlfriend's PC I can play games with better frames and details on GF 660GTX than on my mac pro... I know I know, mac's aren't for gaming, but hey, sometimes it is good to get my mind on rest and blow up some enemies!
I'm not saying mac pro isn't great product, which is (very great). But support to use all computer capabilities is very limited and Apple should kick developers in their back side and push them to start developing things to use GPU's more.
I'm also not expecting Apple to jump on their feet and fix problems overnight. No, just start thinking of adding more support and things that would make our computers much more used and not only good decoration on desk. First would be a good steep adding crossfire support to OS X. That might even help at rendering some 3D scenes?
Next step would probably be better cooperation with software developers, like Adobe , Autodesk,... If adobe made good support for GPU rendering in Illustrator, aim that we get that support soon as well. I'm sometimes having a lot of paths and objects and rendering goes pretty slow then.
I'm also thinking about that AMD choice Apple made wasn't so good when you see that Nvidia puts much more effort into supporting more and more stuff, while AMD is sitting idle not even updating their drivers anymore.
Oh and one more thing: Can we please, please, please, please, preeeeeetty please get 10-bit output support on OS X? It's kinda sad, having good mac workstation with 10-bit capable monitor (dell UP2414Q) and no support for it, while other PC workstations all support it... Photoshop is working much better on OS X and here I have much better integration and everything and I really love working in Photoshop running on OS X, but some basic things are missing and I'm really asking myself sometimes: was that good decision? Photoshop was first written for macs and in 2014 there is much better support for adobe software on windows than on OS X. Where went wrong?
Don't take me wrong and think I'm just ranting here without any good reason, but think: buying very expensive computer that is supposed to make creative work easy and painless is actually just on paper. In reality computer potential is pretty much unused and that makes me thinking if I would be much better buying iMac instead of mac pro...
TL;DR: I wish for some more support from Apple for their new expensive mac pro's 2013. They are great piece of equipment, but equivalent PC's running windows are surpassing them in this department, specially when GPU's are involved. Now I would like to point this out to Apple, so I don't know where to write so they will read so I first wrote that here. I hope someone from Apple reads this and give us some feedback on those missing things or maybe I get direction where to write to Apple so I get maybe some response from them(?):
-not enough GPU support for creative software (adobe suite, autodesk,...) - nvidia + windows offering much more for less money?
-no crossfire support on OS X. Any particular reason for that?
-no 10-bit support for 10-bit displays. Why not? Hardware is capable, why software isn't?
-lack of openCL software out there. Apple isn't doing much to get more support or developers just too lazy to put more effort into this? GPGPU isn't the future as some companies are trying to convince us?

All displays are supported by one GPU -- the display GPU. The second GPU is reserved for un-interrupted GPU computing and has no Display output Hardware.
Anandtech has a discussion of this in his review of the late 2013 Mac Pro.
Under OS X the situation is a bit more complicated. There is no system-wide CrossFire X equivalent that will automatically split up rendering tasks across both GPUs.
By default, one GPU is setup for display duties while the other is used exclusively for GPU compute workloads. GPUs are notoriously bad at context switching, which can severely limit compute performance if the GPU also has to deal with the rendering workloads associated with display in a modern OS. NVIDIA sought to address a similar problem with their Maximus technology, combining Quadro and Tesla cards into a single system for display and compute.
from section 9:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7603/mac-pro-review-late-2013/9
Another problem here: on windows bootcamp crossfire IS working, but not in OS X. As I wrote, sometimes it would be better to get more rendering power than computing power (actually at current state of GPU computing software, computing GPU isn't working very much if at all). It would be nice to have an option to switch on and off crossfire so we could use more rendering power when needed.
Also not all people are doing video rendering on their computers. What about 3D modelling and 2D work in photosohp? And maybe people like me are occasionally wish to play some games on their mac?
You linked me GPU usage from one program (probably adobe after effects or premiere pro or apple final cut X?), that is probably one of the only pieces of software that actually uses both GPU's under OS X. I made same experiment with software I use and I even tested some software I don't use but it is advertised it is "optimized" for mac pro like pixelmator.
And guess what? Second GPU is 99% time idle. Even when some stuff is using openCL in Photoshop, stuff is still computed on rendering GPU and not on computing one, which makes computing GPU just a good room warmer as I wrote before. Wouldn't be better to at least use second GPU for something than heating air?

Integration of SQL Developer and Data Modelling - concerns.

In aanother thread about OSDM connections, I commented that the development team for OSDM and the core product seem to separate and Sue responded.
Sue Harper wrote:
A clarification of the Data Modeling feedback application and this forum. The developers are part of the SQL Developer development team, but as for all our features, each developer has a focus area, so the Data Modeling developers will tend to answer those questions. The reason I said that they seem to be separate as that ODSM seems to be put together completely differently. I hit another example today. I downloaded a fresh copy of osdm without JDK. On starting it up, it complained it couldn't find a jre and quit. There was no prompt to specify the location as there is with SQLDevloper and there are no configuration files to edit.
SQLDeveloper already has issues with different components doing the same differently. The number of problems has been reduced but it has taken some time and I am concerned that the introduction of a large body of new code will cause things to revert to the bad old days in terms of quality.
I may or may not end up using OSDM, but I want to have the choice. I don't want components I don't use becoming part of the application and adding bloat. The migration components are a case in point. The "migration workbench" ought to be a completely separate add-in rather than a core component and I hope this is down with OSDM.

Jim,
"I don't want components I don't use becoming part of the application and adding bloat." Absolutely. and we agree. SQL Developer Data Modeling will be a separate standalone product so that users who don't want to use SQL Developer, but who do want to model will have that option. The nice thing about an integrated solution is that if you are doing database work and then want to do some modeling, you are in one tool. Our current plans are to release the standalone product in the initial production release and then follow that with the extension to SQL Developer depending on the customer demand. We do plan to release a read only viewer as part of SQL Developer 2.0. This will be an extension, which like the Migration extension, you can switch off. and from your note, you'd prefer the reverse, that these new extensions are pieces you choose to include and not choose to exclude.
I'm not certain we'll get agreement on this, but I'll be interested. Just this morning I was updating a thread were the request was for all the pieces to be there working out of the box.

Publish to iOS using GPU rendering?

Can the new publish to iOS feature use GPU rendering and if so, how does one set that?
AIR for iOS allows CPU, GPU, Auto, and Direct options.
Thanks.

Is this really the only solution? I've been trying to go back to Java 1.6 following various threads found on internet but have been unable to get to work - does Adobe have any plans to fix on thier end? Here's error message I'm getting, have tried switching Air versions but didn't help. We've actually had to remove an app from app store because unable to export to fix a bug, so any help would be appreciated.

Unable to enable GPU rendering in Project Settings (CC 2014)

I have two GTX 580s installed and the option for GPU rendering is grayed out in the project settings dialog box. Any ideas on why that is and how to fix it?

Always make sure you have the latest display drivers for your GPU. Go to nvidia.com/drivers

Why is connection speed and page rendering so much slower in FF 3.6.13?

After installation of the 3.6.13 upgrade, website connection and page rendering speed became significantly slower than in all previous versions. I searched the knowledge base and Forum and found this post:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/668695#answer-108852
After changing settings as described in the post, speed was easily more than doubled.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the slowdown in connection and rendering speed with 3.6.13. And also why, if the settings worked so well for me, they aren;t standard in FF?

New Flash Player and GPU acceleration...

Hy.
I played this "example video" at 1080p (FF 3.6 and IE8):
http://youtu.be/Ou6_MkIvKOo
with flash build 10.2
I got => CPU load: 3%-11% for the whole video.
ok. I was happy, because I have seen that GPU acceleration worked fine!
now...with flash 10.3 (and later, i.e. latest build) I get for this video --on the same machine with the same software/update--
=> CPU 17%-33% !!! (the video's playback is good and smoothly, ok)..but...
but...why there are big differencies in GPU rendering between 10.2 and 10.3??
I think, the latest build the less CPU load, but it seems that I get the opposite...=> the newer build the bigger CPU load !!! *confused*
thanks.

Hy Maestro!
your video in FF:
1) small window: sw video rendering + accel video decoding.
2) full screen : accel + sw
3) moving the pointer (it is NOT necessary moving it to the beginning! a bit forwards or a bit afterwards is ok)=> accel +accel for the whole video's lenght. ok.
4) small: sw + accel
5) full: accel + sw
6) moving a bit the pointer (scrollbar) => accel + accel
I dont know what I should to say.
now I get 12-20% CPU (and NOT 4% as before ) because the windows defender programm is running now, this will take 2 hours...
now I writing another post, please stay tuned ;-)
