Slow Execution Time of Exponential Function

Hi,
I am developing a program with large dataset (arrays size of around 1000*1000 elements).
I realised that my program ran quite slow when calculating exponential for each array elements.
So, I built a simple porgram to test the execution time for exponential vs multiplication on 1000*1000 array elements and found
out that the period is ~25 times longer. Attached is the program (Labview 2011).
The specs of my system are:
1) Windows 7
2) Intel i5 3Ghz with 4gb ram
3) Labview 2011
The actual program I built has a version in Matlab and uses exponential function as well. However, the execution time in Labview is around 10 times longer than the Matlab. I believe that the exponential function is the cause of this after making some analysis using built-in "Performance and Memory" tool and modification to the program.
Is there any way I could make the exponential function runs faster? Or any better way to handle large array operation? (I have tested array operations with nested FOR loops and paralel execution but the results is not that great.
Hope anyone can help. Thanks for any input.

Thank you for your answer.
I am sorry, I could not upload the real code since it is large and has lots of dependency. But, I wrote simple program both in Labview and Matlab as attached.
I tried to make both program doing the same thing and put each element as random number between 0-1 to avoid any folding/optimization process.
The Labview took around 974ms to complete the task while the matlab 177ms. If the the way I implemented them are correct, the Matlab is around 5 to 6 times faster than Labview to execute Exponential function.

Execution time for Call Library Function Node

I am experimenting with the Call Library Function Node block in LabVIEW and am curious if it should be running faster than what I'm seeing. For testing purposes, I have compiled and transfered to my RT target the .out file from the KB article http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/81D1172E3C28A5E4862575CC0076A230 (I'm using the vxworks 6.1 version). The function in the .out file just multiplies two inputs together, adds a constant, and returns the result. I have put this inside a 1 kHz timed loop with a commanded period of 1 ms and via the Ticks(ms) block and shift registers I calculate the amount of time per loop execution. This process is apparently taking 5 ms per cycle and to me that seems slow. Is that roughly the correct execution time for this kind of setup? I will attach my test .vi file.
What I'm using:
Windows 7
LabVIEW 2009 SP1
NI-cRIO 9024 with NI-RIO 3.4.0

First off, the way you are doing timing isn't necessarily accurate because you don't know when the tick count VI is being called. For example, if it gets called on one iteration after your call library node executes, and the next iteration it gets called before the CLFN it executes, the subtraction doesn't include the call of the CLFN so you aren't seeing the true time it is taking for the dll to be called.
Where it says "error" on the top left hand corner of your loop. left click and choose previous iteration timing. Also, do you have the ability to choose a 1 Mhz clock? Are you sure it's actually being run on the RT and not on your PC? Running it on the PC would definitely make it difficult to execute at a 1 kHz rate.

CVI XML Functions Execution Times Increase When Looped

I have written multiple functions using CVI that read XML files. I have confirmed in the Resource Tracking utility that i have cleaned up all of my lists, elements, documents, etc. I have found that when I loop any of the functions I have created, the execution times increase. The increase is small but it is noticable and does effect my execution.
Are there any other sources of memory that I need to deallocate? It seems that there is a memory leak somewhere but I am unable to see where this increase is located.
I am currently running LabWIndows/CVI 2009 on Windows 2008 Server. I have looped my functions using TestStand 4.2.1. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Kyle

HI Daniel,
Thanks for the quick response.
It is indeed slow down in execution speed when we loop. When looped, the XML reader is overwriting variables, not adding to an array. Our application is structured differently than my test case. We run a CVI function from TestStand that contains a series of commands, which contains the XML reading. The XML looping is really done in CVI. I used TestStand in my test case just to get execution times. Our psuedocode for the CVI function is as followed:
For loop (looping over values, like amplitude or frequency)
Reading the XML
Applying the data from the XML to set up some instrument(s)
Do something...
End loop
I can confirm that the instrument set up is not the cause of the slow down. We have written the same XML reading in C# and applied the values to the instrument setup and do not experience the slow down.
I tested with On-The-Fly Reporting enabled and the execution time continued to slow down.
I hope that answers all of your questions!
Thanks,
Kyle

How to find out the execution time of a sql inside a function

Hi All,
I am writing one function. There is only one IN parameter. In that parameter, i will pass one SQL select statement. And I want the function to return the exact execution time of that SQL statement.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION function_name (p_sql IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
exec_time NUMBER;
BEGIN
--Calculate the execution time for the incoming sql statement.
RETURN exec_time;
END function_name;
/

Please note that wrapping query in a "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (<query>)" doesn't necessarily reflect the execution time of the stand-alone query because the optimizer is smart and might choose a completely different execution plan for that query.
A simple test case shows the potential difference of work performed by the database:

Need to know how to find the last execution time for a function module

HI all
I need to know
1) How to find out the last execution time of the function module ?
say for eg. I have executed a func. module at 1:39pm. How to retrieve this time (1:39pm)
2) I have created 3 billing document in tcode VF01 i.e 3 billing doucment no. would be created in SAP TABLE "VBRP" b/w 12am to 12:30 am.
How to capture the latest SAP database update b/w time intervals?
3) Suppose I am downloading TXT file using "GUI_DOWNLOAD" and say in 20th record some error has happened. I can capture the error using the exception.
Is it possible to run the program once again from 21st records ? All this will be running in background...
Kindly clarify....
Points will be rewarded
Thanks in advance

1.Use tcode STAT input as Tcode of Fm and execute .
2. See the billing documents are created in table VBRk header and there will always be Creation date and time.
VBRk-Erdat "date ., u can check the time field also
So now if u talk the date and time we can filter then display the records in intervals.
3. with an error exeption how is my txt download finished .
once exception is raised there will not be a download .

vijay

Oracle Execution Time for function inside view

Hi Guys,
i would like to ask if i call a function inside a view , how does it behave in term of execution time and performance
For Example i have a view as below
create or replace view CUST.CUST_VIEW
select a.nice , a.getCustomDisplay(a.name,a.pin,a.dos,b.master_key) as custom from CUST.customer as a , CUST.master as b
where a.idno = b.main_id_no
AND the function look like this
create or replace function getCustomDisplay(a varchar2,b varchar2,c varchar2,d varchar2)
begin
select * from CUST.MAPPING_MATRIX order by idno asc;
for loop
//logic goes here to determine the result return from matrix
end
My Question is for example
1. If i do select * from CUST.CUST_VIEW ( return 1000 records for example ) , so the function getCustomDisplay will be executed 1000 times also right ( that means select * from CUST.MAPPING_MATRIX order by idno asc; will also be executed 1000 times ) ?
2. If i do select * from CUST.CUST_VIEW where rownum <= 20 , how many times getCustomDisplay() function will be executed ?
The reason i ask this because recently we saw a few million execution times per day from AWR report for this query
"select * from CUST.MAPPING_MATRIX order by idno asc;"
But when i investigate , and put a logger whenever it call getCustomDisplay , the query above as mention in item no 2 only will be executed as many as the record that will be returned from ( view + where condition ).
3. will it affect performance if my view return a lot of records ? or is there any way to improve it?
Thanks

Hi
i have other solutions that seems work for reducing number of execution times but do you think its scalable and feasible ?

Slow query execution time

Hi,
I have a query which fetches around 100 records from a table which has approximately 30 million records. Unfortunately, I have to use the same table and can't go ahead with a new table.
The query executes within a second from RapidSQL. The problem I'm facing is it takes more than 10 minutes when I run it through the Java application. It doesn't throw any exceptions, it executes properly.
The query:
SELECT aaa, bbb, SUM(ccc), SUM(ddd), etc
FROM MyTable
WHERE SomeDate= date_entered_by_user AND SomeString IN ("aaa","bbb")
GROUP BY aaa,bbbI have an existing clustered index on SomeDate and SomeString fields.
To check I replaced the where clause with
WHERE SomeDate= date_entered_by_user AND SomeString = "aaa"No improvements.
What could be the problem?
Thank you,
Lobo

It's hard for me to see how a stored proc will address this problem. I don't think it changes anything. Can you explain? The problem is slow query execution time. One way to speed up the execution time inside the RDBMS is to streamline the internal operations inside the interpreter.
When the engine receives a command to execute a SQL statement, it does a few things before actually executing the statement. These things take time. First, it checks to make sure there are no syntax errors in the SQL statement. Second, it checks to make sure all of the tables, columns and relationships "are in order." Third, it formulates an execution plan. This last step takes the most time out of the three. But, they all take time. The speed of these processes may vary from product to product.
When you create a stored procedure in a RDBMS, the processes above occur when you create the procedure. Most importantly, once an execution plan is created it is stored and reused whenever the stored procedure is ran. So, whenever an application calls the stored procedure, the execution plan has already been created. The engine does not have to anaylze the SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE statements and create the plan (over and over again).
The stored execution plan will enable the engine to execute the query faster.

Slow Query time with Function in Group By

I have a PL/SQL function that computes status based on several inputs. When the function is run in a standard query without a group by, it is very fast. When i try to count or sum other columns in the select (thus requiring the Group By), my query response time explodes exponentially.
My query:
SELECT
ben.atm_class( 'DBT', 'CLA' , 6 , 1245 ),
count (distinct ax.HOUSEHOLD_KEY)
FROM
ADM.PRODUCT p,
ADM.ACCOUNT_CROSS_FUNCTIONAL ax
WHERE
ax.month_key = 1245
AND ( ax.PRODUCT_KEY=ADM.P.PRODUCT_KEY )
AND ( ax.HOUSEHOLD_KEY ) IN (6)
group by
p.ptype, p.stype,
ben.atm_class( 'DBT', 'CLA' , 6 , 1245 )
My explain plan for the query with the Group By:
Operation     Object Name     Rows     Bytes     Cost     Object Node     In/Out     PStart     PStop
SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer Mode=CHOOSE          3           10
SORT GROUP BY          3      60      10
NESTED LOOPS          3      60      6
TABLE ACCESS BY LOCAL INDEX ROWID     ACCOUNT_CROSS_FUNCTIONAL     3      33      3                23     23

TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID     PRODUCT     867      7 K     1
INDEX UNIQUE SCAN     PK_PRODUCT_PRODUCTKEY     867
This executes in over 9 minutes.
My query w/o Group by
SELECT
ben.atm_class( 'DBT', 'CLA' , 6 , 1245 ),
ax.HOUSEHOLD_KEY
FROM
ADM.PRODUCT p,
ADM.ACCOUNT_CROSS_FUNCTIONAL ax
WHERE
ax.month_key = 1245
AND ( ax.PRODUCT_KEY=ADM.P.PRODUCT_KEY )
AND ( ax.HOUSEHOLD_KEY ) IN (6)
My explain plan without the Group By:
Operation     Object Name     Rows     Bytes     Cost     Object Node     In/Out     PStart     PStop
SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer Mode=CHOOSE          3           3
NESTED LOOPS          3      42      3
TABLE ACCESS BY LOCAL INDEX ROWID     ACCOUNT_CROSS_FUNCTIONAL     3      33      3                23     23

INDEX UNIQUE SCAN     PK_PRODUCT_PRODUCTKEY     867      2 K
This executes in 6 seconds
Any thoughts on why it takes 90 times longer to perform the Group By sort?

The plan didn't paste:

Function used to find Query Execution Time

Hi All!
Could you please let me know the function name used in finding 'Query Execution Time'?
Thanks and Regards,
Vikas

I'm not quite sure what you mean...
In SQL*Plus: SET TIMING ON
This will display a timing message after the execution of a query. Is this what you mean?
cheers,
Anthony

Last execution time() function in webi

Hi Everybody,
If you use Last Execution time() function in webi it will give us something like: 9:36:53PM. But i need to minus 1hr from this.i should get the time as 8:36:53PM. Everytime i use this function i should minus one hour from the Last Execution Time().
Thanks in Advance.

The following formula will return a last execution time minus an hour.
=If(FormatDate(LastExecutionDate(); "hh")="00"; "23"; FormatNumber(ToNumber(FormatDate(LastExecutionDate(); "hh"))-1;"00"))+FormatDate(LastExecutionDate(); ":mm:ss")
There may be a better way of doing it but I have not found it.
Regards
Alan

Procedure/Function execution time

I want to get my procedure/function total execution time which is running inside of application.
I think that I can use PLSQL_EXEC_TIME column of v$sql time. Please confirm this if I can or not.

Slow first time execution

Hi everybody!
I 've written simple java application which uses the "substance" look'n'feel and that makes it to run very slowly for the first time when you run it, I used simple splash screen mechanism to show the main frame after executing main method, but when you click any button for the first time the whole application just hangs up for about 10 seconds, after that first pressing everything works fine.With java or windows l'n'f everything works without startup problem. Does anyone have any idea what is taking so long to execute button actions for the first time with "substance"?
Any help would be appreciated! Thx!

All right!!!! I see, I have to answer to my question myself. Hey people! I have found the answer, actually one of them probably, maybe you know that already but I didn't , the button which I wanted to press was big(this for sure you didn't know), when I made it smaller the first execution time decreased accordingly, now I've got it 10 times smaller button and you almost can't see the difference between first pressing and the next, I thought the JButton takes as much memory or processing work as another JButton but this is not true - as you guys have probably heard before from one girl or another - Size really matters!!! :)

SMART FORMS execution time slow

Dear SAP,
We have been applying support packs to our system from last few days.
We have upgraded our ABAP and BASIS level from 10 to 17th Component.
It has been found that TCodes take time to Open for first time after
applying the components. In case of SMART FORMS the execution time
in every process is taking very long. This has been the case for very
long now. Kindly suggest what should be done to speed up the Process of
Working in Smart Forms.
- Jitesh
( Basis )

Hi Njitesh,
After Upgrade you should run SGEN ( SAP Load Generator ), which will execute all the transactions once and makes the system faster.
Run the SGEN in the background mode, usually it takes a long time to compile all the objects.
Hope you get the solution.
Thanks

Execution time issues with SU01 demo script

Having worked with Scripting in a Box for a while now I wanted to try out the examples there. I read FM: SO_USER_LIST_READ or another one explaining why my attempt to narrow the returned users failed (Craig, did you find out why the functionality was removed?) and Re: Issue with "Scripting in a Box" seeing that Harry had the same problems with only ~200 users in his system. However, Craig's original post states he successfully managed with over 400 users. I'm a bit confused...
I included some simple timing stuff and found out that processing of one user in the loop takes about 1.7 seconds - little surprise then that every script times out. This seems to be due to the additional calls to GetStatus() and GetValid() - by commenting them out I get the whole list rather quickly.
Unfortunately commenting them out also means no nice icons for 'Status' and 'Valid', which is not desired. I probably could create a Z FM to deliver me the userlist with these two fields already added (which would save on rfc-calls, assuming the operation is much quicker on the server directly), but I hoped to get a solution based purely on PHP, not own ABAP coding (being aware that Craig also used a Z FM anyway, but still...)
I'm a bit unsure now how easy it is to actually create useful frontends in PHP, with such long execution times. I assume this will happen in other occasions as well, not only for user lists. Is there an alternative? Or a general way to do those things quicker?
:Frederic:

Craig: you say it's easy to go from 1.7 seconds per user lookup down to a small fraction of it? Then apparently I'm lacking these skills. Could you please give me a hint what should be done there?
I though about creating a Z function, but having to write custom wrappers - possibly for about any transaction in this style - I wanted to avoid.
Bala: the two functions only take one user as input, not a list. So w/o modifying the ABAP side I can't feed the whole list in there. I wonder how much it would improve the result time anyway, so perhaps I'm trying it. It's just not a solution I'd prefer.
Paging is a good idea, the actual call to get the whole userlist is quite quick. Having like 20 users displayed at a time is manageable - still slow, but the script won't timeout anymore. I think I'll implement this today.
About AJAX: yes, I want to play around a bit with AJAX, however having the two columns valid and status removed and the information only displayed on mouseover etc is a bit like cheating. And 1.7+ seconds waiting for a hoover info is too long. So I'd like to optimize on the rfc-calling side primarily.
Craig: surely it was just a demo, and I'm just trying to get it to work for understanding it
