Programs that dont benefit from threads...

Hi guys I know this is not the right forum but being this my "home" I was wondering if you could help me out here. I need to know of apps that dont benefit from the use of threads to work but use processor time instead of threads to function. Any info will be greatly appreciated. TIA!!!

No, sorry, I just gave my thoughts not based on any application I've seen with only one user Thread. I'm extremely young though. I've actually only written one Java program for money thus far and it has variable User Threads starting at 8 and increasing each time you create a moving Person image (I've had it up to 2,000 Threads, if "had it up" is still permitted on this Forum).
How about something really trivial and valueless like just doing that Newton-Raphson iteration to compute a square root yourself that that other geezer was asking about a few days ago instead of getting it from the Math library; then printing the result to System.out. No earthly reason for more than one Thread for that. Is it too trivial to use as an example. Don't think I can help any more. Any linear type of math problem should be the same sort of thing, no use for multiple Threads I would think (if any of you Quantum mechanics and Chaos Theory boffins get on my case about that, I'll be over there to increase your entropy in negative time).
Multiple Threads is for more real-life non-linear things like bunches of studs and babes at a party with (more or less) one brain each doing separate things in their minds but bumping into each other (OOPS) occasionally. I'm going funny and nodding off. I'm going to sleep. I'm finished.

  • Idea for channel subscription program that would benefit MILLIONS of Verizon subscribers

    Hello, Since Verizon is moving towards allowing customers to create their own TV packages to compete with streaming services, I have an idea that would certainly please millions of users. If I want to subscribe to HBO or the French channel, for example, all I have to do is press a button on my remote. However, if I want to cancel these channels, this necessitates a phone call to customer service. The benefit of streaming services is that we can't watch everything at once, so why pay to subscribe to 10 channels, when you can't possibly watch them all within the same month. I think that each time you subscribe to a channel (be it Showtime or the Russian language package), you should be charged a one-month minimum fee. You can cancel the subscription (online or using your remote) at any time, but you still pay for at least one full month. That way, I, for example, can subscribe to the French channel, watch it for a month, then cancel, then subscribe to the Portuguese and German channels, watch them for a month, then cancel, then sign up for Cinemax, watch it for three months... Each network is still getting the benefit of a full month's subscription, plus people would be more willing to sign up (and try out) more channel options if they know that their minimum commitment is only one month. If you haven't guessed by now, I like to watch TV in multiple languages, but I can't sign up for all the channels at once because 1) it's too expensive and 2) I can't watch all these channels in a month. I'm sure other people would sign up for a movie channel package to catch up on their favorite shows (I think people do this anyway with Game of Thrones, etc.) or a sports package until the season is over, etc. In other words, by making it easier for people to cancel channel/specialty package subscriptions online or using the remote (with the understanding that there is a minimum of one month), more people would subscribe to these channels - and some would keep them for several months. With the addition of streaming TV, DVR programming, etc. there is just too much TV available and we can't watch everything, so fewer people sign up for pay-for-view packages. This model would give people more control over how they watch TV. True there would be a lot of turning channels on and off (I, for example, would probably do this frequently). However, there would also be a huge increase in revenue from these channels, even if people cancel after one-month (then the onus is on the network to provide quality programming to retain the customer). Thank you for your time.

  • Findout the program that is copied from Standard one

    Dear friends,
        I have a list of 300  Z programs. in that list few are copied from standard transactions. is there any way to find out those programs easily ?
    If any body knows, plz help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes this can be achieved.
    First identify all the Z-objects and pass them to an Internal table.
    Looping all the Z-Reports.
    Use the Read Report(command) to read the entire source code.
    Scan the ABAP source code through
    SCAN ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...TOKENS INTO itab2
    Each report which is copied or cloned has SAP standard report name in the Heading section.
    Eg: IF RSM04000_ALV is copied into ZRSM04000_ALV then
    verify the Repid in the Header section whether it is starting with Z or No. If No then the program is a copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • I DELETED THE PROGRAM FOR YAHOO TOOLBAR IS THERE A PROGRAM THAT NI DOWNLOAD FROM A N INTERNET SITE ?

    Sounds like your database is damaged or corrupted.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How to enable MSDOS program to be called from Oracle PL/SQL procedure ( Web Service )?

    Hello,
    Dealing with the time demanding procedure where power user is interactively execute sequence
    of steps of procedure:
    1. pl/sql procedure for preparing data in some table
    2. java program that read data from the table and creating input txt file for MSDOS program
    3. MSDOS program is autonomous component that reads input txt file and make
        output txtfile.
        MSDOS program is closed component, can not be modified
    4. java program that insert txtfile into Oracle table.
    5. Steps 1 to 4 are executed in interations driven with select on some table.
    Trying to prepare re-design the procedure  and not sure about which technologies to use ?
    The goal is that whole procedure would be implemented in pl/sql procedure and this way could be executed
    so as from power user from command line as from controlled application on any type of the client.
    So if that MSDOS program would be transformed as Web Service offered on  some MSWin server in the intranet.
    Then PL/SQL procedure would communicate ( call this web service ) and do all the job and at the end
    send status of completion and report through e-mail to the issuer of the procedure?
    Not sure what technologies should I use on Oracle RDBMS server on Linux to communicate with MSWin Web service which is running MSDOS program ?

    Yes it can be done. Simply consult the applicable manuals that contains all of the details on how to do it. The manuals are:
    - Oracle® Database Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects (refer to Chapter 6 section on Using PL/SQL (DBMS_LOB Package) to Work with LOBs)
    - Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference (refer to the chapter on DBMS_LOB)

  • Splitting "pernrs" in program that is using logical database

    Hello All,
           I have a HR program that uploads data from file into infotype 377. Everything works fine except if the file has like 20000 records the program is taking for ever to run! I am using logical database (GET PERNR) in the program. I populate my pnpindex with all pernrs from file for processing. Is there any way I can aplit pernrs (like 5000 each processing) so that I can speed up the process i.e, I want to process 5000 pernrs at a time. I tried to find solution here but no luck and I am out of ideas. If you happen to have any ideas on this, please let me know.

  • Is there a program that converts Quicktime video files into Media Player?

    Is there a program that converts Quicktime video files into Media Player video files?
      Windows XP  

    Windows Media Player on a PC plays avi and mpg in addition to the WMV and ASF files so you can either use a Windows program that generates those files from .mov format or you can use QT Pro to convert the .mov to uncompressed avi and then use Windows Media Encoder to make WMV files. Although it may be out there no one here has mentioned a PC program that converts directly from .mov format to WMV. There is a program for Mac OS that does it and I believe that company is working on a version for Intel Macs so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for them to port it to Windows.

  • Simple question. Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?

    There are many a thousands of people who are producingvideos on completed DVDs. As an amateur videographer using iMovie first nowusing Final Cut pro to produce completed ready to distribute DVDs, I find ithard to believe at the meeting you mentioned anyone with common sense wouldhave explained the scenario above. On an amateur level so many folks have beencreating videos of Weddings, Home Movies, and many different Special Events. Onin particular are sports events. I shoot a sports event like Mix Martial ArtsEvents utilizing several video cameras. Then editing with Final cut Pro andsometimes iMovie. All of my completed videos that have been edited in either ofthese two programs are shared (like hand in glove) with iDVD. Short of steppinginto the commercial world Apple has deleted many people from producing a semiprofessional looking product.
    I do not know if the can be answered here in the format buthere it goes!!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

    I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

    Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
