Unexpected reboot during simulation using multisim on AMD dual core processor

We are using NI-multisim 10 in a classroom environment and are experiencing sudden reboots during simulation without giving any error or warning. This happens on multiple machines, all being Dell Optiplex 740 with AMD DC 2Ghz as processor. Since these problems happen so frequently, making  teaching quite impossible, we have shifted PC-room and are now using older machines. On these machines - Dell GX280 using intell P4HT-2,8 Ghz - we experience no more problems.
Is this reboot problem related to the article :  Unexpected Errors with DAQ Device on AMD Dual Core Machine  (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9CE22FE099A​FB8BF862572FF007A5D45) and what do we have to do to fix this problem?

Can you verify your driver versions? Make sure that you are running the latest versions of NI drivers to ensure proper compatibility. If possible, you might try upgrading to multisim 11. If this does not solve the issue, try the single processor workaround in outlined in the following KB:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D0FC3BE7D9F​331398625731A005D76B8?OpenDocument
Altough it is surely decreasing the performance of the system, certain cases have shown that there is no other possible workaround unfortunately.

  • AMD Dual Core Processor - Problem between tracks

    I am running iTunes on a dual core AMD Athlon processor and notice strange behavior on the computer. When iTunes moves from one track to the next, it sounds like it is playing the end of the first track at the same time as the beginning of the second track. The same mp3 files play perfectly when downloaded to the iPod.
    My theory is that iTunes is using only one processor on each file (track) but can switch to the other processor for the next track. Since they are asynchronous, they end up overlapping during the transition.
    BTW - latest drivers, including the May '06 AMD driver are installed.

    There's no need to worry, it's just a neat little feature, not a hardware issue. Some people like it.
    In iTunes, go to the Playback prefereences (Edit>Preferences>Playback tab) and make sure "Crossfade Playback" is deselected.

  • How to use Real time execution trace toolkit with Dual-core processor??

    hi there
    the situation as follows:
    i have a computer (PC and Laptop) types with Dual-core processors, and am trying to do simulation using Multi-core technology and based on different simulation scenarios...starting from sequantial processing,.......Piple lining processing strategy. so that i can differentiate the time delay between those types of processing based on (Using 1 processor then dual-core processor Computers)
    my question is: As i read through Ni's white papers i saw many notes refer to Real-time execution trace toolkit to investigate the (processing-time , etc) of multi-core processors in processing diffenent algorithms. My algorithms are to be run on 1 computer with dual-core processor BUT, not in real time environments, that is ( No hardware to be connected to my pc) only algorithms running on my pc....
    So, is it possible to use Real time execution trace toolkit  or anyother tools in LabVIEW to show processing-delays and/or anyother timing critical issues without using my application for  real- time hardware.???
    in other words: how to use Real time execution trace toolkit  in non-hardware and/or real-time scenarios???
    please help me in this.
    Any suggestion, comments, feedback.....is absolutely highly appreciated
    thanks a lot in advance

    Hey,
    The Realtime Execution Trace Toolkit only works for NI RT Targets.
    But you can use the Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit, just search for it under ni.com.

    1st-I was able to log into my account but was not able to open any applications, tried another account and same thing.  was able to log out and restart but now am unable to use mouse.  g5 dual core, can't remember the os without seeing it.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Let us know how far you get, or results.

    I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin.  However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

  • An advice for an used Power Mac G5 dual core 2.3

    Hello.
    I used a Power Mac G5 PCI-X (sett. 2003) 2.0 GHz, working with Photoshop. It worked great for yeras, but now, due to its typical logic board lack, it got broken and is unable to boot anymore (three times flashing power light).
    Now, I use software for PowerPC CPUs, so I can't get new computers, because I should replace all the software too!
    I'm going to buy an used Power Mac G5 dual core 2.3 GHz:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg5/stats/powermac_g5_dual2.3.html
    This is the configuration:
    Ram: 5.5 GB
    HD: 250 GB
    SVGA: GeForce 6600 - 256 MB.
    About 650 dollars.
    According to you, is this a good product? do you know any issue or manufacturing fault?
    Would you buy it if you were me?
    Thank you!

    I tried heating it (not with the hair dryer), after about 1 hour it booted and worked very well, as in past. But when I powered it off, it started again with the same problem: unable to boot and three times flashing light.
    I need a working system.
    Furthermore, I removed the hard disk (sata 160 GB), and installed it in a Mac Pro: but it recognized only the second partition (data). So I run the Disk Utility and gave immediately an error (wrote in red and big), writing that the hard disk had a serious physical problem, and that if the computer was able to see the disk, I had to make immediately a backup.
    But the three-times flashing light error of the G5 was not given due to the hard disk, because I tried several times to boot it from the OSX DVD, also removing the hard disk, and it always gave the same problem.

  • Parallelism in oracle using only one dual-core processor

    Hi, is usefull or could i use parallel execution in oracle using only one dual core processor?
    Can someone explain me why?

    Hi
    To take advantage of parallel processing you need enough resources (mainly CPU and I/O). If you run serially and the bottleneck is the CPU, then parallel processing might help. On the contrary, if the bottleneck is located in the I/O sub-system, throwing more CPU to it would not make things better. So, it's a question of balance between the CPU and I/O resources you have.

  • Using the 2nd of a dual core processor

    I have a dual core processor laptop and currently it isn't using the 2nd one at the moment. The first one is full and I am getting messages saying I have no memory space. How can I use the 2nd processor?

    We need to know your full model number, like Satellite A215-S7437, and your Part Number, like PSAFGU-00L002.  You can find this information on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your computer. Also, we need your operating system version, like Windows 7 32bit.
    In addition, give us the exact error message that you are getting. Do not paraphrase, spelling and syntax are important. A screen shot of the error message would be best.
    However, I would mention that your processor(s), your available system RAM (Random Access Memory), and the available space on your HDD (Hard Disk Drive), are three completely different things.

  • Problem with dual core processors: 50% ressources are not used.

    Hello all,
    I have noticed, that the java app cannot get normally more than 50% of the system ressources. I use different threads in my application, but the app still does't achieve 100% of system power. Max 50-60%.
    If I run two processes, I get 100%, but I can't share memory space between this two process. Or I can?
    What is the best way to write an application, that can use 100%, in other words, full power of dual core processors.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try thread.setPriority() method. I am making guess
    and any comments
    from experts on this method will be highly
    acknowledged.Yeah. Don't do that, it's a bad idea.
    Back to the original post, there are two reasons this can be happening.
    1) Your code is not efficient multi-threading wise. If you are for example running two thread that are in theory parallel but in actual fact provide linear execution so that one is almost blocked by the other then multiple threads and multiple cores will underutilized. It's hard to speculate further on this without seeing your code.
    2) The OS. First of all there is the issue of how the oS shares up the processor between processes. This varies and may or may not be configurable. The bottom line on this point is that your OS may be capping the utilization of the processor by process. Again there's not enough information give by you to expand on this point. The second OS issue regards how the OS deals with multi-core. Just because you have a multicore processor does not mean that your OS automatically can take advantage of it.

  • AMD dual core 64 X2 and Opteron 1**; what motherboard.

    Hi to everybody, my name is Mauro and I am Italian. I have had for many years a lot of mobos MSI that are shown always reliable and with really excellent utility. An example the LiveUpdate that unlike utility of other brand is very comfortable and reliable. Currently I have a system AMD 64 X2 3800+ stepE4 with Asus A8N SLI Premium and memory RAM G.Skill PC4000 (chip Samsung UCCC) F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ PC4000. I have many problems of stability and I would want to return to the brand MSI. I use the PC as Workstation I am not interested to the SLI and I would want soon to pass to the CPU Opteron 1 * * dual core. The customer care G.Skill has reported that the brands of reference for the development of the forms are the MSI and few others. You would know me to suggest a complete mainboard in the endowments, silent and compatible with the CPU from me you quote. How VGA I have both chip ATI X700 Silent Pipes 256Mb or NVIDIA 6600 always silent pipes 256Mb. I am not interested to overclock. I am observing with attention the RD480Neo2 and other mobo with chipset NForce Ultra K8N Neo4 Platinum. Thanks for your share and suggestions.
    Mauro

    Skippy, that's changing fast. Probably most major manufacturers are now explicitly supporting the Opteron.
    Even MSI is getting there: K8N Diamond Plus
    Hi,
    To a careful study I have discovered that perhaps my Asus A8NSLIPremium has a problem that Asus is resolving. However I have asked to one friend of mine to make a will the MSI K8N Diamond Plus; in Germany it is already available some exemplary. The fact that the development has been made really with the Ram DDR that I have purchased (the G.Skill PC4000) it is a very important factor for the stability of a system. You introduces then with a good section of feeding to 4 phases it is very important. Certainly I am not interested to the characteristics of overclock but a Ferrari is not purchased only for racing. I have not told you that in so many years I have almost always had 2 brands that have always guaranteed me reliability: Abit and MSI. Objectively now that have tried also a lot of Asuses (5) I are not fully satisfied. For instance the Utility: LiveUpdate2 gave me reliability in the update of the bios (operation that finishes in DOS); the utility AsusUpdate because of a bug in the summer '05 are cost me 3 MB (update that departs in auto and it finishes in Windows). Resulted not could remain without MB I have had to purchase other identical MB. And treating itself of corruption of bios no guarantee. I have also discarded Tyan because it accepts only certified RAM DDR and their support it doesn't guarantee the operation with my DDR G.SKILL. Now that are in game I don't sell certain the DDR!

  • AMD dual core 4200 2.2 vs i7 2.7?

    Besides the obvious, what's the difference between these two processors. Is there a significant power gain from the i7?
    I have a PC running the AMD chipset with 3 megs of RAM and just bought a MBP 13" with the dual core i7. What kind of performance gain am I going to see?
    Thanks!

    I don't have both yet. Just ordered the MBP on a leap of faith. Hopeing the i7 is a much faster processor.

  • UNEXPECTED REBOOT DURING INSTALLATION

    I just installed 3COM-3C905C-TX NIC on my compaq intel machine with win95 before I install SOLARIS 8 on it. This NIC is compatible with SOLARIS 8 Hardware Compatible List as specified for network connectivity. The system booted properly until when it got to the stage where the network is to be configured. Suddenly all I see was REBOOT at the bottom of my screen and the process started all over again from the begining.
    PLEASE I REALLY NEED YOUR ADVISE AND HELP. I have been struggling with this all day without success.

    Hi,
    The problem may be due to the system was unable to trace your network card and so it reboots. Check out the connectivity of the network card or do a diagnostic test.
    Hope it helps!

  • Dv6710 Vista amd dual core

    Hi guys and girls
    i know there is a massive problem with the DV series  with the wifi  as well as other stuff
    Well  my problem is that my wifi is working fine   and i can get on the internet with no problems
    but i cannot get the orange light to turn blue once windows is loaded
    It  stays orange until just before windows kicks in  then the orange light goes out but my wireless assistant says its still on and i get on the net okay
    when the screen dims itself after a while  the screen goes into sleep mode or what ever it does and the orange light comes back on
    but as soon as i run my finger across the touchpad  it goes out again the the wireless is still working
    i have tried every wireless driver that i can find
    also when i uninstall the driver  the orange light stays on for both on or off positiion using the wireless switch
    Has anyone come across this before   or have any suggestions please  ????
    Also  on the keyboard  all is working well apart from when i press the Capital lock key  the light does not come on
    many thanks

    I asked AMD Support just that question, plus clarification on the driver situation, and their response was to just use the 1.0.8.1 PowerNow/CnQ driver with X2 CPUs on Win2K.  Given the slow uptake on Windows Server vs. the client systems I'm surprised they did not continue Win2K Server support for longer, in a market which is so important to them.
