Question about Parallels

I already have windows vista installed on my mac via bootcamp, but i would like to install parallels so i dont have to keep restarting. Is it possible to install parallels with my bootcamp partition, or do i need to reinstall windows?

Hi Adam,
Parallels can use a BootCamp Windows partition for creating a Parallels Virtual Machine.
Check the online documentation avaiable at their website for how-to.

Question about Parallels and ATI Radeon 5770

Ok, so I have a Mac Pro 3,1 here. I'm upgrading it to 16GB and two 7200 RPM 3TB drives which I'll run in Raid 0.
It has an ATI 2600HD with 256MB VRAM. This card has two DVI ports.
I just purchased an ATI Radeon 5770. I will use it with two Cinema Displays (DVI connections).
To connect the second display, I have the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter at Firmware 1.03.
My question concerns Parallels 8.
My Windows 7 VM will be a heavy-use VM so I want snappy performance. I was planning to dedicate 8GB RAM, half my CPU cores to it, and 512MB VRAM on the 5770.
What I was wondering about was the possibility of leaving in the 2600 HD and using its GPU to support my Parallels VM. Is that feasible? Practical?
Thanks

Dump the 2600XT (put it on the shelf, don't use it)
Install Windows natively first, then you can use it both ways, natively and dual boot, plus in a VM when that works.
Another option is 10.8.2 supports more Nvidia cards and more then the 1GB.
Don't use green 3TB in an array.

A Few Questions About Parallels 5 and Windows 7

Hey guys!
So, I am taking a computer programming class that requires Windows, just so we can all be on the same screen at the same time (lame, I know). Anywho, I have a Mac, so my teacher provided me with a log-in to MSDNAA, to get Windows 7 for free, and he gave me Parallels 5.0 for free as well. (go community colleges!)
A few questions:
1- I am running Snow Leopard right now on my 2009 MacBook Pro, and my processor is the 64-bit processor, but after running the command uname -a I discovered that my Kernal is loading in the 32-bit mode. Is this normal? Shouldn't it be running in 64-bit mode?
2- Which Windows 7 should I get, the x64 or x86 (32-bit or 64-bit)?
Thanks for any/all help!

Question about Parallels using Bootcamp partition

I was about to install XP on bootcamp but i would mainly be using parallels to run XP from the bootcamp partition. What i was wondering is that if i was to make any changes to xp like install a software and create a new folder through parallels, would it reflect on the actual bootcamp partition when i load into the actual XP partition using bootcamp? Basically, do the changes made to windows using parallels carry over to the bootcamp partition given you are using the bootcamp partition on parallels?
Thanks

Thanks a lot. While i am at it, if i use the bootcamp partition with Parallels, i cannot suspend the VM right?
Parallels will behave the same, whether it has its own copy of Windows, or is using that on the Boot Camp partition.
The only difference is backup. If you use Parallels with Windows in a disk image file (Preferably a sparse bundle), Windows can be backed up with Time Machine. If Windows is on its own partition, Time Machine can't handle it.

Question about parallels desktop

Hello!
I have a little problem with my Parallels Desktop. I have installed a windows xp operating system with parallels desktop, but the virtual video card's memory is only 256Mb. In Mac OS X i have 2 video cards. One with 256Mb memory and one with 512Mb memory. Maybe can you help me how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!:)

Hi Tojas;
I would certainly hope that if you told the folks at Parallels that you were interested enough in their code to try a demo but that you were having problems with it that they would help you.
I would start at this site

Question about Parallel Query

Currently running Oracle 8.1.7.3 on 32 CPU HP box. I'm doing some data analysis and ran in to some inconsistencies on what columns parallel query works on. For most columns it kicks off all the threads(ora_pxxx) but on a few of the columns, it will only run 1 thread. These queries run full table scans.
Example SQL:
Select /* parallel (column1, 10) */ column1
from table1
I can't seem to find much documentation on parallel queries.

sorry. correction on the SQL format:
Select /*+ parallel(tb1, 20)*/ column1
from table1 tb1

Question about PARALLEL hint

the documentation says that PARALLEL hint can by used in select statements like PARALLEL(emp 8). I have also seen syntaxes like PARALLEL, PARALLEL 8, PARALLEL(8), and in each case the steps in execution plans were the same but the cost assigned was a bit different between each version (but significantly lower than for a query without this hint).
how does oracle interpret above three syntaxes, ie. /*+ PARALLEL */, /*+ PARALLEL 8 */, /*+ PARALLEL(8) */?
are there any parts in those syntaxes that are ignored or incorporate default behaviour?
what syntax is safe to use when one doesn't want to specify the table being parallelized, ie. use syntax like PARALLEL(emp 8)?
thank you

Questions about parallel and series sturcture in SCTL (single clock timed loop) in FPGA VI

I am using LV 8.2.
I have wriiten a FPGA VI, in this VI, there are 3 filters inside the SCTL (single clock timed loop) (I use the shift register to be the effect of unit delay). Would I save the resources of the FPGA used (such as slices and LUT) in the compliation report if I use 3 SCTL ( 1 SCTL contain 1 filter) and cascade them in series?
Thank you!

Sorry, I am afraid that you have misunderstood my meaning.
Here is the method you suggested before:
I mean I use the shift registers attached in the while loop, not in the SCTL. The number of shift registers used will not be decreased when we increase the number of SCTL in the second plate of the flat sequence structure. Totally , there are 6 pairs shift registers for 3 filters (1 filter needs 2 pairs). I mean I put the calculation parts, such as b0*x[n]+b1*x[n-1]+b2*x[n-2] inside the SCTL ( the operations of multiplication and add). Instead of putting 3 filters numeric operation part in one SCTL. will we reduce the resources used if we use 1 SCTL to do the operation parts of 1 filter? As the code inside each SCTL will be reduced.
Maybe you tell me if such approach will reduce the reosources used? Or there is no difference?
Thank you!

A few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.

I have a few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.
1) I understand I need at least 1GB of RAM to run Parallels Desktop but what about the hard drive, is the stock 60GB drive big enough?
2) Related to question 1, even if it was big enough to allow me to install and run Windows would the 60GB drive be enough if I wanted to install a Linux distribution as well?
3) This has nothing to do with Parallels Desktop but thought I'd ask it here anyway, do Apple Stores carry just the stock MacBooks, or do they carry other configurations?
Thanks
Keith

1. Depend on how intensive you use that HD for saving data on both Mac OS and XP. For standard installation on both OS X and XP, the space of 60 Gb is enough.
2. Same answer as no 1. You can install all three on that HD space, but the extra spacce available will be less and less for your data. You can save your data on external or back up on cd/dvd and erase it from the HD to keep the free space.
Remember to leave at least 2 or 3 Gb for virtual memory usage.
3. Just call them, maybe they don't have it in store stock, but by appointment they might configure one for you before your pick-up date.
Good Luck

Questions about PDF exporting with InDe CS5.5

Hey all,
A couple questions about exporting to PDF from the latest version of InDe.
First, I have noticed that it seems to take a lot longer to get to a PDF. Any suggestions for how to speed up the process? It took 8 minutes or so to generate a low-res PDF (for print) of a 24pp document with a few placed images and vector graphics. Wow, that's a long time to wait, especially for a proof.
Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
(As an aside, this ability to work on the doc while generating a PDF seems kind of weird. Generally one makes a PDF for proofing, or even for printing, when all the changes have been made and everything is "final". So, I see no benefit to being able to work on my document while it's making a PDF, as I'm probably finished making revisions for the time being. I have to say that I kind of like the progress bar you get when you make an interactive PDF, as you know you can't work on the document when that's on the screen... )
Thanks as always.

Yes, this is abnormally long (and too long), something is wrong. What's the full version of InDesign you are running, as reported by holding down Cmd or Control and selecting About InDesign?
Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
Saving is not related. InDesign makes a database snapshot of your document the moment you begin the PDF export, and makes the export relative to that snapshot, regardless of edits you continue to make during the export process, and regardless of saving. Of course saving first is a good idea, for several reasons, not the least of which it sounds like something's fairly seriously wrong with your document or your InDesign installation.
We recommend you trash your preferences and export your document to IDML and see if either of those things changes this 8-minute behavior...err, assuming you're running 7.5.2.318.

Yeah, I think the primary benefit is if you are likely to work on 2 or more files in parallel, so you can finish A and export A and then switch to B. If you'd like a dialog box to pop up when export is done, check out my exportPop script from this post: ANN: automatic dialog after background export (exportPop.jsx.

SAP CS 8.0 - question to parallel tasks in one job chain

Dear all,
I have a question about job chains in SAP CPS/Redwood
We have a job chain like this:
Job 1
     Job 1.1
               Job 1.1.1
               Job 1.1.2
     Job 1.2
                Job 1.2.1
The Jobs 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 should start when the Job 1.1 is compled and don't have to wait until Job 1.2 is complete.
How could I release it in Redwood in one job chain? Should I use a precondition in the job definition of 1.1 and 1.2?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Hans

Assumptions :
Job 1.1.1 and Job 1.1.2 are running in parallel.
Job 1.1, job 1.2 are also running in parallel.
Chain A -
Step 1 - Job 1.1
Step 2 - Job 1.1.1, Job 1.1.2 (these both will start as soon as Job 1.1 completes)
Chain B -
Step 1 - Job 1.2
Step 2 - Job 1.2.1
Chain C
Step 1 - Job 1
Step 2 - Chain A, Chain B (Chain A and Chain B will start as soon as Job 1 completes).
Submit Chain C.
Preconditions are usually used to check the timewindow, for example , if you want to execute a step in a job chain, only if it is a Friday.
thanks

Question on parallel testing 1000 UUT

I am starting to consider an architecture for a TS system that needs to handle several hundred, and possibly over a thousand UUT's simultaneously in parallel from a single PC w 4GB ram
Anyone have examples of such a high socket count system? Any tips, caveats? I am concerned about a TS system being capable of that.
I expect that I would need a custom Serial Entry dialog (perhaps table based) and that I would NOT display the exectuion/report window for the UUTS although I may include option to display that for a *specfic* UUT selected by the operator
Regards
Vijay

NIExpert,
As Lindsey's link and Jiggawax's tests indicate, there is no hard limit on the number of threads/UUTs you can run at once, but your computer will likely protest well before you hit 1000 UUTs. Even if your machine does not hit an OS-enforced thread limit, memory will become a concern, and the tests will likely take much longer to complete due to your computer's CPU having to split its time between all of these threads.
I agree with Jiggawax that if you want to do this on one machine you would probably be best off doing the tests in waves so that not all 1000 units are being tested at once. It sounds like you'd want the Parallel model so that you can start/stop individual UUTs as needed, and the Parallel model would probably be better suited for this type of approach anyway.
The other option would be to distribute the test to multiple machines. That would allow you to test more devices at once and test them more quickly since the CPUs will not need to switch between as many threads. This approach has a few advantages, for example,you gain hardware redundancy (if a tester goes down, you have other machines that can continue to test). Of course, the trade-off is that there is additional expense in maintaining another tester.
This sounds like an interesting application and I hope you are able to find an approach that best suits your needs. Let us know if you have any more questions about it.

About Parallel , IDM and Windows 7.

Hi.I'm new to apple products.This is my first time using macbook as i had been a loyal user for windows.My question is about parallel 9.I own a 13' Macbook air with 128GB SSD and 4GB RAM.Is it going to work with Parallel and Windows 7 ?Should i get Window 7 or 8 ?Is it going to be so laggy since my MBA isn't that powerful.I'm confused whether to use Bootcamp or Parallel.I had already googled through so many reviews but it is confusing.My only purpose to use Windows is just to use IDM ( Internet Download Manager).Can anyone helps me ? Thanks.

Hi,
1- This is normal behaviour. WHile your MBP is capable of running SNow Leopards 64-bit kernel by default it is set to use the 32-bit kernel of SL.
Have a read here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3770 and here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4287
2- SInce you are about to use Parallels with Windows 7 I would suggest to get the 32-bit version.
With Parallels 64-bit Windows would be only neccessary if you have to use WIndows programs that need 64-bit WIndows and/or use more than 4GB of RAM.
But since the hardware ressources are shared between OSX and Parallels WIndows and you "only" have 4GB RM you should not assign more than 2GB RM to Parallels WIndows.
i386 only means that the OSX (Darwin) kernel is meant to run on Intel processors.
Regards
Stefan

Questions about Leopard

First of all, I've watched the WWDC keynote at least 4 times now, and I can't wait for leopard to come out. However, I've got a couple concerns. I don't want boot camp on my mac. Does anyone know if you can un-install it (I would think that it should be possible). I don't want anything at all to do with windows. I've also heard some rumors about parallels being on Leopard. First, I don't know too much about parallels. But what I do know (and think to be correct), is that parallels allows you to run windows apps on a mac without having to use bootcamp, and the windows os. My quesiton about parallels is really, what are the pro's and con's of having it on your system? Thanks in advance for your help.

Unless Boot Camp drastically changes from now until release, it merely enables those with Windows installation CDs to install Windows on their Macs. It does not enable Windows applications to run on their own without Windows being installed. For that you need WINE or CrossOver to be installed presently. Parallels is like Boot Camp but without the need to have a separate boot to install Windows applications (only an enclosed boot that runs side by side with Mac OS X), and without the need to partition your hard disk to install Windows which Boot Camp presently does.
Ignore rumors. No one really knows what will be on Leopard except developers who have signed a non-disclosure agreement. They would be breaking their agreement posting here. The Terms of Use on the right specifically forbid us from discussing unreleased products or rumors. Please read them more carefully, and don't ask questions about Leopard which are not answered on http://www.apple.com/macosx/

My HP, purchased in June 2012, died on Saturday. I was working in recently installed Photoshop, walked away from my computer to answer the phone and when I came back the screen was blank. When I turned it on, I got a Windows Error Recovery message. The computer was locked and wouldn't let me move the arrow keys up or down and hitting f8 didn't do anything.
I'm not happy with HP. Any suggestions?
