Quad node question

If you run a Quad core G5 as a node-based processor on another system (like a MacBook Pro), will it efficiently use all four cores?
Thanks!

Any ideas on this?

EA 3.1 - Data Node Questions

I have the following questions regarding the Data and Model Nodes
1. Is it possible to define one table/view to be used in building the model(s) and a different table/view for testing the model.
2. If we use the same table/view for the build and testing, can we see what data is being used for the build and what data is used for the testing
3. For question 2, can we extact the data into another table etc

Hi Brendan,
See answers below.
Thanks, Mark
1. Is it possible to define one table/view to be used in building the model(s) and a different table/view for testing the model.
Answer:
Yes. Just connect another data source to the Classification or Regression Build Node.
The second DS node has a link labeled as Test. If you want to swap the build and test data source, then select the Build Node, right click to bring up the node context menu and select "Swap Data Sources".
2. If we use the same table/view for the build and testing, can we see what data is being used for the build and what data is used for the testing.
Answer:
No. The split data are temporary views. If you want to control exactly what data is used, then use your own test and build data source nodes.
3. For question 2, can we extact the data into another table etc
Answer:
See answer to question 2.

975X quad core question

Hey guys, I have a 975X Platinum Power Up Edition, and I'm trying desperately to avoid having to replace it. From what I can tell, the Q6600 or Q6700 (depending on which I can find the best price on), is the best CPU that the board supports (65nm limitation is killing me!).
Here's my question: do I need to flash the BIOS to add quad core support, or is it strictly a plug and play deal? I can't recall ever having updated the BIOS, so I actually don't even know which version I'm running. I just checked it, and I didn't see "BIOS Version 7.0" or anything, so... ?

This is what my screen shows me at first (cut off number is BIOSv1.06.63):
And then, for about 0.2 seconds, this flashes onscreen:
And that's it.
That seems to suggest that I need BIOS 7.6. Is that correct?
You are looking at wrong places, check the images again!

PowerMac G5 Quad reformat questions

Hello,
General questions on reformatting a PowerMacG5 Quad. Another department sent over this tower, sans any install disks (or monitor or keyboard for that matter). I'd like to wipe the system and start from scratch -- do I need a specific install for a Quad G5 or just a retail system. I have a boxed Tiger 10.4 retail, would that work on the G5 Quad (never had a quad system before). Also, for disk maintenance, can Disk Warrior be used on a quad?
Thanks

OEM disk, or later version. Whatever will boot your system. Sometimes hardware (video) upgrades can change minimum requirement.
Was early '06 or late '05 only 10.4.2? by August it was 10.4.7 territory.
Retail, there was 10.4.3 DVD (some customers couldn't even connect to their LANs with 10.4.0) and then 10.4.6 DVD came out with more improvements. So there are various flavors retail Tiger. Just as there is now 10.5.6 and was 10.5.3 and 10.5.0.

G4 and Xgrid node question

I am currently running Logic on a G4 and thinking of the most effective way to expand my capabilities in order to work on film scoring. I was thinking of buying a mini mac and running and xgrid to utilize both computers for processing (with the node app in logic). I wanted to know if anyone has tried this or if it is compatible. If not, are there any other suggestions for ways to increase my processing power, or perhaps it isn't necessary? Thanks

From the API for JTree
public int getMinSelectionRow()
Gets the first selected row.
Returns:
an integer designating the first selected row, where 0 is the first row in the display
But I think this is based on how many rows are displayed at the present time and might change if the tree is opened above it.

Another PPC/Intel node question!!!

Hi MacAddicts,
I've searched the forum but didn't get an answer about this. I want to connect a PowerBook(host)to an Intel Mac mini as the node(the poor man's HD setup!!). I'm on LP 7.1.1 on Panther. Can i install the node app. from 7.1.1 on the intel mac or do i need the node app. from 7.2 on the intel? That's the part i didn't see anywhere!!! Thanks for any response.

You need the node app on the MacIntel to be the 7.2 version.
It's simple - anything that runs on Intel chips needs to be a Universal Binary, otherwise it either won't work or the performance will be horrible horrible horrible.
7.2 is the first version of Logic that is a UB.

Node question

I'm thinking of purchasing a Mac mini to use as a node computer for Logic Pro 8. Before I can do that, however, I need to install the Logic node on the mac mini and put this in the startup items so the node loads automatically when the Mac mini boots. The problem is I have to set up the Mac mini for this function in the first place and I'm wondering if there is a way to do this using the iMac display and keyboard. Thanks,

Are you running Leopard on your imac? The mini will be. You'll only need access to a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to do the initial setup on the mini. From then on, you can use screen sharing to remote control your mini. Works great.

GetXMLString(Node) Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create one document that will contain the results of multiple queries. For example
<MY_ROOT>
<QUERY1_RESULT ID=1>
<FIELD1>stuff</FIELD1>
<FIELD2>more stuff</FIELD2>
</QUERY1_RESULTS>
<QUERY1_RESULT ID=2>
<FIELD1>stuff2</FIELD1>
<FIELD2>more stuff2</FIELD2>
</QUERY1_RESULTS>
<QUERY2_RESULT ID=1>
<FIELD>hello</FIELD>
</QUERY2_RESULTS>
</MY_ROOT>
I'm assumming that I need to use the OracleXMLQuery.getXMLString() method for the first query results and use the OracleXMLQuery.getXMLString(Node) method for the second query results. But how do I obtain the Node from the first query results?
Thanks for your help in advance.

A Compositing / RotoShape Node question

I'm a very new Shake user, and having some trouble getting my mind around Chapter 6: Rotoscoping, in the User Manual.
If I have a guy walking across a room and I want to make the top half of his body disappear, can that be done with a Rotoshape?
My two video clips are: #1 -- a clean plate, a shot of the room with nothing in it, the camera locked off on a tripod. #2 -- the same locked-off shot with the guy walking across the room.
I thought it would be easy to draw a rotoshape on top of clip #2 that would cover the top half of the guy's body, a black shape that would create transparency where the guy's body was. Then I would composite the clean plate clip #1 underneath clip #2 to "fill in" the missing body with the rest of the room.
But I must not be setting up my node tree properly. When I connect a rotoshape node to Clip #2, and load the rotoshape node into the viewer to draw the shape, I am not sure where to draw it, because I cannot see the clip that shows the position of the guy's body. And beyond that, if I did draw the rotoshape in the correct place, would it serve as an alpha channel for Clip #2, knocking out the top half of the body?
Am I conceptualizing this in the most efficient way? Any tips on setting up the nodes would be greatly appreciated!
Jim

Thanks much, Jon and Captain! Your comments are enlightening. I tried both methods, and Jon's worked a little better for me. Using Captain's main clip to switchmatte and rotoshape to switchmatte, I got a weird dark outline around the rotoshape I drew that I did not get when I went rotoshape directly into the mask channel of the foreground clip, and then from there main clip and cleanplate into an over node. But other than that dark outline (and it may have been operator error of some kind) the compositing theory worked.
On Captain's comment -- "Plus, adding multiple masks becomes easier, less messy and more practical. How do you add a second mask?" -- I was under the impression that you could have more than one mask, or rotoshape, on a rotoshape node. Page 157 in the user manual, Volume II: Compositing, says "To create another shape, click the Add Shapes button again." That seemed to work for me. I was able to add a second mask, if I am using the terminology right. Or maybe what I was adding was a "rotoshape," but I thought of it as a mask because I inverted it to black to make something in my foreground image "disappear" and let the cleanplate show through to fill in the missing section of the foreground clip.
In any case, as a Shake user of just a few days now, it gives me an idea that there are multiple ways to get to the same destination.
Thanks again, Jon and Captain, for the advice.

JTree and selected node question

Hello
Is it possible to convert the selected node to an int?
I guess I'm looking for something llike this.
int nodeNumber = node.getSelectedIndex();
There is nothing like that in the API, and it would help greatly if I could find a way do this.
Thanks
Have a good holiday
Jim

VSS Quad Sup Question

Hi,
We have two chassis 4500's with Quad Sup's. They are currently in VSS mode with Secondary Sup in each Chassis in Rom mon.
Our problem is contained to the chassis themselves, not the VSS.
When we do power failure test, the chassis reboots but the now rom mon mode supervisor powers up and becomes Primary. It does not have the configuration of the Primary Supervisor.
So we need to know -
1. Does the config get synced, if not do you have to manually load config from primary sup if it fails.
2. Can you force a specific supervisor in a chassis to be Primary.
Thanks

When we do power failure test, the chassis reboots but the now rom mon mode supervisor powers up and becomes Primary. It does not have the configuration of the Primary Supervisor.
Without VSS, if a chassis has dual-supervisor card, the configuration of the primary card is always synchronized to the standby card. Same goes with VSS (single- or dual supervisor card per chassis): The configuration is synchronized to all "on-line" supervisor card.
The only time this doesn't happen is when the standby card is either in ROMmon or couldn't join the "redundancy" (of a dual-supervisor card per chassis or VSS) due to incorrect IOS.

Quad Firewire question

Hy, my new quad seems to work fast and quiet.
But I've discovered that syteme profiler is listing an "Unknown device" in firewire section even if there is no firewire device plugged.
Did you noticed the same thing on your quad ?
btw all my firewire devices are working without any problems.
best regards.

Yeah... I've got two devices plugged in so I've got two empty ports... I guess those are the "unknown devices"?

Placeholder Content Node Question

Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to get the node a placeholder query returns either from a standard query or a campaign query. I need the node Object instead of the straight HTML code. I've tried using the PlaceholderService interface but that only seems to return HTML as a string. Any ideas on what else I could try?
Thanks,
Greg

I don't believe it is possible to get out anything else than the HTML. The
PlaceholderService API is rather stupid is this sense.
I have been forced build own jsp wrapper tag around <ph:placeholder> -tag in
order to do some changes to the HTML code it returns from the CMS
repository.
If you could hide the object-id (or such) to the HTML-content, then you
could do something with it. Complicated indeed!

Juha

Visable Property Node Question

I need to make different controls on my front panel appear and disapper with depending on what is being done is there an easy way to make a lot of different things appear and disappear without creating a property node for each individual one. Its slowing me down a bit during execution and its also making my primary VI huge.
Solved!

If you are dealing with more than just a few controls/indicators, I would recommend setting Defer Front Panel Updates before the FOR loop and clear it after.

Quad Core Question

We are building a new system. The last system we built was a dual quad core with 8 Gigs of ram, Quadro FX 3500, and XP 64-bit. Every time we opened After Effects and Photoshop it crashed and locked up the system. We changed the OS to XP 32-bit, dropped the ram down to 4 Gigs. The system is working better, but not where we would like it.
On the second machine we do not want to have the same issues. Does anyone know what we can uses to get the most bang out of this system. After Effects CS3, Premier Pro CS3, and Photoshop CS3 are the main programs we are using.

David has a point, though MS will support XP64 with patches and hotfixes until 2011. Unfortunately switching to Vista 64 will not guarantee any betterment. The point everything is pivoted around is driver support and on the system you were experiencing problems, very likely the graphics card is the culprit. NVidia is always behind in supporting x64 systems and in addition, it really seems to depend on the specific sub-model of a card. If you search this forum for threads on issues with NVidia cards or Vista for only the last week, you will find several threads... In that light, giving concrete advice is rather difficult. I can only report that I have a FX5500 on a dual quadcore E5345 and the system runs perfectly for a year now. However, this has been a prefab computer of our local Fujitsu-Siemens brand R-series workstations, so I wouldn't really expect otherwise. ;-) Perhaps you should consider taking that same route. I can reasonably assure you that HP workstations are just as well thought out and put together.
