Sun Performance library or just a tuned BLAS for Solaris x86?

Hi,
I know the sun performance library is not available on Solaris x86, but is
there at least a tuned blas library available?
thanks,
tim

The compilation line you list is correct. One way to see if there are outstanding unsatisfied references is to use the ldd command on the shared library that you created:
% CC -dalign -xarch=v9a -G -o LA.so $(OBJECTS) -library=sunperf -staticlib=sunperf
% ldd LA.so
I assume that one or more of the .o files in the $(OBJECTS) list makes calls to Perflib routines. Does your application (the code that is linking to the LA.so shared library) also make calls to Perflib routines? If so, these will not have been satisfied in the previous creation of the LA.so shared library.

Sun Performance Library and OpenMP applications

Hi list,
I have a code that uses BLAS/Lapack libraries. This code requires the BLAS/Lapack to run in serial mode. If and when it runs in parallel this is a disaster. The code runs in parallel with OpenMP directives in SMP systems. I specify the number of threads by setting
OMP_NUM_THREADS
to the number of threads desired. Unfortunately if OMP_NUM_THREADS > 1 then sunperf runs in parallel as well. Is there anyway to tell to the sunperf library to run in serial mode no matter what the value of OMP_NUM_THREADS is?
For example GOTO BLAS library provides the environmental variable GOTO_NUM_THREADS which is dedicated to the threads of the GOTO library. So by setting GOTO_NUM_THREADS = 1, the library always runs in serial mode no matter what the value of OMP_NUM_THREADS is.
How could I achieve the same effect with Sun Performance Library?

Take a look at Perflib's USE_THREADS routine :
man -s 3p use_threads
Doing a call to USE_THREADS with the value of "1", before calling Perflib routines may work for you.
Also, I've noticed applications that have lots of small chunks of parallel work, need the threads to be very responsive. (And not sleep in between work chunks)
A way to make the threads not sleep is with the ${SUNW_MP_THR_IDLE} environment variable. I always set the value to "SPIN" :
% setenv SUNW_MP_THR_IDLE SPIN
You can see other settings for this in the OpenMP User's Guide, page 18 :

Hope this helps.

CBLAS in sun performance library coming with solaris studio 12.2

Hello,
In sunperf library coming with sun studio 12u1 (linux x86) I can use cblas callings using the standard names cblas_xxxx. This interface do not appears in sunperf.h (you can use standard cblas.h) but the objects are in libsunperf.(a|so).
But in solaris studio 12.2 libsunperf cblas_xxxx objects do not exists. Is this normal? Contains libsunperf a standard c blas interface?
Thanks

Hello again,
In this blog post
http://www.mlds-networks.com/index.php/component/option,com_mojo/Itemid,29/p,35/
is explained how to link the ACML (AMD core math library) in order to use the standard CBLAS interface (ACML do not provides a standard CBLAS). I tried it and all runs OK. I did the same for the sun performance library in solstudio 12.2 and the compilation proccess runs ok, but in the testing step all functions fails becaude an incorrect argument in each function.
Exists any way for use the standard CBLAS interface with sun performance library? As I noted in my previous post, version 12.1 of sunstudio libsunperf contains the standard CBLAS interface, but I would like to use version 12.2
Thanks

Can you post a testcase of your code so I can try to replicate the problem?
Also, what is is your per-thread stack size set to? A large (4MB) stacksize is required if libsunperf is called from a user created thread.
See the following for more info if it is indeed a stacksize issue..

OEM Grid Control Release (not just agent) for Solaris x86?

I see management agents that can be downloaded off of OTN, but is there an official release of Grid Control for Solaris on x86?
"Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control *Release 5* (10.2.0.5) for Solaris Operating System *(SPARC)*"
"Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control *Management Agent Release 1* (10.1.0.3) for Solaris *x86*"

Please throw me some more meat on that bone. I'm still waiting for my Metalink access. (i.e., can you cut and paste the note text onto this forum message.)Sharing(Cut&Paste) Metalink Notes is not legal.
Oracle has no plans for 10.2.0.4 and for 10.2.0.5 it's expected by Q3 on x86(32&64)

How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?

Hello people,

If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
/opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
Thanks

Dear Gents,

successfully i could monitor the Sun Solaris Servers after i have installed the SMC agent on them.
my problem is that i could not install the SMC agent on Red Hat Linux. as i could not find an easy document or steps to do so.
could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well.

Did you let the upgrade wizard automatically upgrade the security provider? I used the domain upgrade wizard which converted my security provider, once I'd done that, I just took that new file (not sure what it changed) and I've been using it without problems.

Performance Tuning Certification for Application Developer

Hi,
Can you please advise if there is any Oracle Performance Tuning certification for an Application Developer and Oracle 9i to 10G migration certification? If yes, can you please let me know its Oracle examination number?
I have already passed 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-147 in Oct 2008.
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep Kumar

... if there is any Oracle Performance Tuning certification for an Application Developer ...There is no performance tuning related certification for application developers. There is one for the DBA track.
Also -- to answer your question in the other thread:
So to clear this certification do I need to re-appear all the 3 exams as they were given in 2008 or just 1Z0-146 is enough.Having passed 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-147, if you pass 1Z0-046, you will gain the certification: Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional

Some photos don't show in LIbrary view--just the outlines of them

Tonight I tried to transfer a bunch of digital photos from a CD my daughter burned into my iPhoto library, into the 2006 year folder.
I opened the CD and in the icon view, the pictures looked fine--jpeg files.
After I transferred them, these pictures don't show in my initial iPhoto window (the one that opens first when you click on iPhoto in the Dock, and shows all the pictures in my Library sorted by (in my case) roll/date.
Then photo thumbnails from years prior to 2005 show up, fine, but for the most recent year of pictures, all I get are the outlines of where the thumbnails ought to show. When I click on one of the blank thumbnails, of course I get a blank ...but the frame in the lower left shows the ID info for the picture and the picture counts, etc.
I can open the folders from the Pictures file and see them...they just won't show up in the overall Library window.
So...I moved the transferred ones out of the iPhoto library and just put them in the Pictures folder for now.
But what did I do? And how do I "fix it" to make all the thumbnails show up again? This is probably some simple thing...but I can't figure it out. I tried showing just the last 12 months...and I get all the blank outlines.

Hi john,
First problem. You need to import photos into the iPhoto Library the correct way which is while iPhoto is open. Drag the photos out of where you put them (you already did) now you can import them into iPhoto from there.
Read on for more info....--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
Two Apple kbs for you to read

Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
Now to get to your next problem...do a "get info" on your iPhoto Library folder.

I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes. Any solutions?

I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes. Any solutions?

The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device. Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up. It keeps syncing to the old library...
