Wage Calculator: per second

Greetings,
I'm new to Java programming, and I wanted to make a simple application I can use on my cell phone to count up how much money I'm making per second at my job. It really seems easy to do in theory but I was wondering if there was someone out there who could possibly get me going with a project like this.
Thanks,
Justin.

Calculating Frames Per Second Accurately

I tried searching the forums for suggestions or code used to calculate FPS accurately... But was ultimately unsuccessful.
I think I have a pretty basic understanding of how it works... but I'm still left wondering if there's a better... or correct way of attacking the problem.
What I started out doing is taken a pre-cycle time sample using System's currentTimeMillis method, followed by the main parts I'm executing in my program and then took a second time sample. I subtracted the post-cycle from the pre-cycle to get the time... and it occurred to me that the currentTimeMillis is not exactly reliable. As it says in the API, "For example, many operating systems measure time in units of tens of milliseconds," when discussing that method.
I then noticed the nanoTime method and decided to use that.
It quite honestly seems to work perfectly for what I'm trying to accomplish.
I pretty much used the same steps as before.
But now my problem is that I want to limit the amount of frames per second to 60.
I decided that I should try using the Thread class's sleep(long millis, int nanos) method.
It seemed like it would work... but to my dismay, it did not.
The milliseconds, for the most part, were correctly timed... but still not always. The nanoseconds even less so... but I knew that the nanoseconds would be less reliable-I decided to use microseconds. Using microseconds doesn't even work that well.
So I wondered if there was an even better way... maybe a more 'manual' approach to fixing my problem.
I would greatly appreciate any input/knowledge on the matter.

its quite simple. Windows has an API call that can set the timer precision (its all based on some interrupt interval - I forgot the precise details). This precision is system wide, so if one application does it it is immediately active for all other applications running at that time. Applications can only lower it, so if you set it to 1ms then some other application cannot force it to 5ms for example.
Now here comes JVM bug number two.
As said the interval differs per system - sometimes it is 10ms, sometimes it is 15ms. The JVM wrongfully assumes it is always 10ms however. Do a test: try to sleep for some time that is a multiple of 10 (without the long running thread hack active); you'll find that the precision still sucks. That is because in this specific case the JVM does NOT change the system wide timing precision. But if you sleep for any number of milliseconds that is not a multiple of 10 it will actually temporarily set the precision to 1ms.
So the rule is: as long as one thread goes to sleep the precision is set to 1ms. When the last sleeping thread wakes up, it is reset to what it was. Then it also doesn't matter for what amount of time you make your real thread sleep as the long sleeping thread will not be sleeping for an amount that is a multiple of 10, thus forcing the precision to 1ms.
Now say that you don't do the long sleeping thread hack and you make your own thread sleep for say 9ms, switching to 1ms precision temporarily. This behavior makes it so that sampling the passed time (before and after sleeping) can be imprecise; you'll find that most of the time you'll get sampling that matches the number of milliseconds you slept and sometimes it jumps to 10/15ms depending on the granularity of your system. This is a concurrency problem; sometimes the precision is reset before you get a chance to sample the current time.
So to recap to give 100% accuracy with System.currentTimeInMillis(), you need to keep a thread sleeping at all time so the precision stays at 1ms.
And then finally we come to bug #3, which is a problem in Windows itself: rapidly changing the precision (which happens when you make a single thread sleep for short intervals) can screw with the system clock. I don't know if this problem still exists in later iterations of Windows, but it is again a reason to do the long sleeping thread hack. Because this is a known issue I still call this a bug in the JVM because of the way they implemented the precision timer activation, which can trigger the problem in Windows. The command line switch mentioned in the above bug report SHOULD have fixed that... but you know, facepalm bug #4.
But at the end of the day: even if at least 4 bugs can be named regarding precise timing in Java under Windows, the root of all evil is still the way timing is implemented in Windows itself making life too difficult for the poor JVM devs. What were the MS devs thinking at the time?

Calculating value per second

Hi all. I need to just calculate and save the values per second in the variable that how many times per second a variable is being revieved in the method as a parameter and then show that progress as int / second in the progress bar
public void method(int a)
//Want to calculate [integer variable a] coming in the method per second
Thanks n Regards

We used to do this in C by declaring the variable as static... I've not tried it in Java:
public int myMethod(){
static i = 0;
i++;
return i;
}Since the Statics are only initialize at runtile the first line is only done once, not every entry--so you get an entry count.
you can also do this:
public void myMethod(){
myEntryCount++;where you have myEntryCount defined globally with respect to your method--like a class variable.

First derived wage type and second derived wage type

Hi all,
Can any of u elaborate in detail what is the use of first derived wage type and second derived wage type in v_512w_b.
Regards,
Prasad

Hi,
This table allows you to make calculation for current wage type and generate 2 more.
This is hypothetical example: according to the law for overtime during weekend employee is entitled for hourly compensation for every hour worked, extra pay of 50% for overtime, and extra pay of 20% for work during weekend. All these payments should be reflected on payslip.
Then you set WT: 1001 - Hourly rate, 1002 - Overtime, 1003 - Work in WE.
After that you specify generation rule for WT 1003 that it must be generated for every overtime hour worked in WE.
In table V_512W_B you set valaution bases:
Current WT
Valuation basis - 01, statement WT - 1003, % rate - 20%
1st derived WT
Valuation basis - 01, statement WT - 1001, % rate - 100%
2nd derived WT
Valuation basis - 01, statement WT - 1002, % rate - 50%
For example, employee worked 5 hours overtime during WE, and hourly rate is 10 USD, then he will get in his payslip:
WT 1001 - 5 hours 50 USD
WT 1002 - 5 hours 25 USD
WT 1003 - 5 hours 10 USD.
Wage types 1001 and 1002 were derived from WT 1003.
Cheers

Formatting output field to derive Record Throughput (Records Per Second)

It's been so long long that I've done this I am seeking some guidance.
The business problem I have is to derive a new calculated field to determine Throughput (Records Per Second)
Formula: (((batch_job_execution.end_time - batch_job_execution.start_time) * (24*60))) / (write_count)
The Results from above basically give me a Time Formatted Field and I am seeking an Intgerger field.
I take it I need to do a CAST or other type of formatting function(s) and it most likely needs to be broken down
within the calculated field above.
If someone can provide some guidance as how best to approach this problem, that'll be GREAT!!
If I need to provide some more information, please let me know as well.
Sincerely,
George

Hello again,
I attempted to use the TIMESTAMPDIFF function and I am receiving error ORA-00904 invalid identifier.
I do not find this function in my Oracle SQL book so I'm assuming this might be a function that was created internally
within your enterprise. Please correct me if I am wrong. This may have to be the path I take. (Create a FUNCTION to perform TIMESTAMPDIFF processing)
Again, this is just some of my thoughts based on my research and I could be far off.
Please advise or confirm my suspicions.
Thanks
George

How to find the frames-per-second of a Quicktime movie using Applescript?

Is there a way to find out the real-time "frames per second" of a Quicktime movie?
The only Applescript movie properties in Quicktime which I have found to be useful are "duration" and "time scale". The real-time duration of the movie in seconds is found by dividing "duration" by "time scale".
But "time scale" only sometimes relates to any real time property. In some cases it does (2500 = PAL 25 fps, 2997 = NTSC 29.97 fps) but for many other movie types I've opened (DivX, flv, mp4 etc) the "time scale" is often reported as "600" even though the Quicktime movie inspector window will report a frame rate of 25, 29.97, 15 or some other number.
Where does the Quicktime movie inspector window extract the FPS from, and is it possible to extract that same number, or calculate the real-time FPS of a Quicktime movie using Applescript only?
Thanks.

Thanks for this but unfortunately it only works for some movie types. For .dv .flv and .divx movies, this script correctly calculates the FPS. But for .mpg .mp4 and .m4v it does not.
For .mpg movies I tested, the count of frames was always 1, so clearly the FPS calculation is always wrong.
For the .mp4 and .m4v movies I tried, the FPS was always reported as 43, regardless of whether the actual FPS was 25 or 29.97. In all cases the count of frames was incorrect.
A bug in Quicktime?

Horrible video skip / lag problem - once per second in all apps!

I built a new system last month (my first AMD) and I am having a really aggravating problem. In all games and all video playback I get an annoying skip once per second, every second. It affects sound during gameplay but not during movie or mp3 playback. It even happens with the visualization mode in Windows Media Player.
My system is as follows: MSI K8N Neo4-F, A64 3200+ venice core, MSI 6800GT 256MB PCI-E, two sticks of Corsair valueselect DDR400 512MB each, 500 watt PS, 160GB 7200 SATA HDD. Most recent NVIDIA drivers for everything. WinXP Pro with SP2 and all updates, DX9C. Nothing overclocked, all settings standard.
I have tried the following solutions:
1) BIOS upgrades, started with 1.4, installed 1.5, MSI tech support gave me 1.6b2 and I installed that. No luck with any of them.
2) Memory, installed per MSI directions, but I've tried all legal combinations, including one stick at a time. No change.
3) full format and reinstall of WinXP. No luck.
4) Switching between WinXP IDE drivers and NVidia drivers, with and without RAID drivers, No luck.
5) Removal of 6800GT PCI-E card and replacing with Ancient 8MB PCI Permedia2 video card. Problem still persists.
6) Disable onboard sound and LAN. No luck.
7) Running Fedora core 4 on second partition. Installed Nvidia video drivers, tried some games. THIS WORKS! No hitch, no skip, no nothing. Framerates are noticably slower but very stable. In WinXP I saw framerates bounce all over the place, from 230 FPS down to about 70 with one game. That same game on Linux ran smoothly at about 166 FPS with only occasional slight drops. The big FPS drops in Windows usually came right after one of the skips but didn't occure after every skip.
Right now I'm stumped. Linux uses totally different drivers for sound, LAN and SATA support. Some of those drivers don't fully use the Nforce4 chipset's features, maybe that's part of the difference.

Thanks TireSmoke:
I had found that sticky, but I took your advice and went thorugh it in detail last night. Lots of great info, fixes tweaks and tools, sadly none of them fixed my problem. The lag problem most people are reporting is not really like the wierd problem I am having. I have tried the recoommended fixes with ablsolutely no change in my system's behavior.
I am beginning to suspect a faulty motherboard component.
Russ_XP:
I think you are correct about fast writes. I googled the heck out of that last night and couldn't find any reference to enabling or disabling fast writes on PCI-E.
The drive is SATA-1. The Neo4-F is not SATA-2 enabled (there is a hack for it though). From memory I think it's a Western Digital WD1600-something, 7200 RPM dirve. I've tried it on both SATA buses and tried disabling the unused bus in BIOS.
I'm pretty sure I can dig up an old PATA drive somewhere and give that a try.
Gpalmer:
True enough, and I don't have these problems under Fedora. Sadly this is a cross-platform game development box, I need both XP and Fedora working.
Black_God:
Nope, this is a clean install. Although I wonder, could any of the built in XP update and security tools be causing this? I have disabled Windows firewall and virus protection monitoring.

Downloads per Second slower than normal

Hi, i've moved from profile ADSL MAX to ADSL 2+ however my downloads per second are average around 2-400kbs a sec, my download speed is just over 7mb and my downloads have been around 850kbs a sec.
Any reason to why this is?
I don't do much heavy downloads, most of my connection is used for either gaming or downloading some the app or playstation and its really slow at downloading anything.

Acquire, display, and write data at 50 samples per second

I have a vi running on a PXI which samples data using two 4220's (all 4 channels) and one 6031 (only 6channels). I am acquiring data at 100 samples per second, but only need to write the data out at 50 samples per second. The data needs to be displayed at a minimum of 10samples per second. The problem is that the VI can not get 50samples per second writen to the file, it writes about 20 to 30samples per second.
I dont know if the issue is displaying the data which is holding up the writing at 50samples per second or if it is something else in the VI. I have moved the writing of the data to the outside of the while loop, but this did not help enough to reach 50samples/sec.
Is it better to change the waveform data types to dynamic waveforms? Would this increase speed of operations?

Galen,
Looking at your vi, I would recommend writing to your file in a different way. The function you are using is actually opening, writing, and then closing the file every time you call it. This greatly increases the amount of resources being used. Take a look at the Cont Acq to Spreadsheet File.vi example and note that the file is only being opened and closed once. The data is being written to the file during execution of the program, and then closed when the app is done running. The example is done in traditional DAQ but you should be able to do something similar with DAQmx. Try this and let me know if it helps.

How many of these objects should I be able to insert per second?

I'm inserting these objects using default (not POF) serialization with putAll(myMap). I receive about 4000 new quotes per second to put in the cache. I try coalescing them to various degrees but my other apps are still slowing down when these inserts are taking place. The applications are listening to the cache where these inserts are going using CQCs. The apps may also be doing get()s on the cache. What is the ideal size for the putAll? If I chop up myMap into batches of 100 or 200 objects then it increases the responsiveness of other apps but slows down the overall time to complete the putAll. Maybe I need a different cache topology? Currently I have 3 storage enabled cluster nodes and 3 proxy nodes. The quotes go to a distributed-scheme cache. I have tried both having the quote inserting app use Extend and becoming a TCMP cluster member. Similar issues either way.
Thanks,
Andrew

Well, firstly, I surprised you are using "float" objects in a financial object, but that's a different debate... :)
Second, why aren't you using pof? Much more compact from my testing; better performance too.
I've inserted similar objects (but with BigDecimal for the numeric types) and seen insert rates in the 30-40,000 / second (single machine, one node). Obviously you take a whack when you start the second node (backup's being maintained, plus that node is probably on a separate server, so you are introducing network latency.) Still, I would have thought 10-20,000/second would be easily doable.
What are the thread counts on the service's you are using?; I've found this to be quite a choke point on high-throughput caches. What stats are you getting back from JMX for the Coherence components?; what stats from the server (CPU, Memory, swap, etc)?; What spec of machines are you using? Which JVM are you using? How is the JVM configured? What's are the GC times looking like? Are you CQC queries using indexes? Are your get()'s using indexes, or just using keys? Have you instrumented your own code to get some stats from it? Are you doing excessive logging? So many variables here... Very difficult to say what the problem is with so little info./insight into your system.
Also, maybe look at using a multi-threaded "feeder" client program for your trades. That's what I do (as well as upping the thread-count on the cache service thread) and it seems to run fine (with smaller batch sizes per thread, say 50.) We "push" as well as fully "process" trades (into Positions) at a rate of about 7-10,000 / sec on a 4 server set-up (two cache storage nodes / server; two proxies / server.) Machines are dual socket, quad-core 3GHz Xeons. The clients use CQC and get()'s, similar to your set-up.

also i hear that it is good idea to use JDBC 3.0 driver for performance,
i download newest oracle jdbc jar file from oracle site
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_10201.html
is this jar file JDBC 3.0 driver ?
is there any hibernate performance configuration?
is it any more performance tuning into JBoss or EJB with entity beans?
can anybody help me ? or is there any doc which can help me ?

What makes you think that your database, just the database (with the box that it is on) can handle that rate?
What makes you think that your network can handle that?
While this is going on is this the ONLY traffic that will be on the network?

Newbie trying to understand the frame/fields per second concept on video

Do video camera shutter speeds (1/60sec) reflect an interlaced field or a full frame comprised of two interlaced fields per part of a second.
I suspect that a shutter setting of 1/60sec means it's not a full frame of video but is just an odd or even lined interlace field. Meaning that if I want to shoot 30fps I need to keep my shutter setting on 1/60sec.
But if that's really the case, then what am I exactly shooting per second if actual NTSC frame rate is 29.97fps? I mean, the first 2p frames can easily be divided into two fields each, but what about the remaining .97frame. How can you divide that into two fields of interlaced video lines?
Forgive my ignorance but books have a bad habit of not answering back when you don't understand something they say.

The shutter speed is not relevant. I can be either field based or progressive. The frame rate is not dependent on the shutter speed.

Final Cut Pro X Image Sequence Export missing frames per second option?

I am using the trial version of Final Cut Pro X. I can export an image sequence but it will only allow me to do so at 30 frames per second -every single frame!
So a 10 min movie takes half an hour to export 20,000+ frames that no one on earth has time to look thru.
In my old Final Cut Express I was able to choose 1 or 2 frames per second, which was just right.
What am I missing?
Do I need to buy Quicktime Pro or Compressor to allow me to export image sequences without exporting every frame?
Why would Apple even have an image sequence export if it only allows you to export every frame, or it that only in the trial version?
Thank you

I found a free option for you, if you don't already have Compressor 4.
In FCPX create your movie. Then SHARE as a Master File.
Get MPEG Streamclip, which is a free app available here.
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag your Master File into MPEG Streamclip.
In MPEG Streamclip, select FILE/EXPORT TO OTHER FORMATS.
In FORMAT: choose IMAGE SEQUENCE
In OPTIONS, choose your frame rate.

How to create a $ per second report.

I have a scenario where I have several stores all posting sales in real time to a BAM object.
The Fileds are:
StoreID "string"
PurchaseDate "datetime"
PurchaseAmount "integer"
I like to create a report that will display the sales per second for a given store over a defined Period of time.
As an example:
If the report is run and 60 seconds is entered as a report parameter for the period of time and StoreID set to "1" (also via paramter) then I'd like to know what was the average sales per second over the last 60 seconds for StoreID 1.
Obviously this report would be continually updating giving me a real time gauge indicating when sales per second has dropped or spiked.
A real example:
Lets say there are 3 sales in the last 60 seconds for StoreID 1 as follows -
1,3/20/1977 3:08:08 PM,100
1,3/20/1977 3:08:14 PM,160
1,3/20/1977 3:08:33 PM,100
If I ran the report at 3/20/1977 3:08:34 PM there would only be 3 entries which fall within the last 60 seconds (Report Paramter) for StoreID 1 (Report Paramter). And averaging out the sales total would give me (100+160+100)/60=6$/second
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to solve this?

Not sure I understand what you want, but I set up a page with 2 items on one row, 3 on the next. http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=23834:30 is that the sorta thing you want to do? - control where the items appear?
If so - you can just use drag and drop layout, or on the items settings (Displayed settings), specify whether or not it appears on a new line or not.

1,000,000 updates per second?

How could you configure a coherence cluster to handle processing a million stock quotes per sec? The datafeed could be configured as a single app spewing out all 1,000,000/sec or it could be many apps producing proportionately fewer ticks/sec but in any case it's going to total a million/sec. Fractions of the feed spread among multiple physical servers sounds smartest. The quote Map.Entry would probably have a Key of String (or char[] if that's more efficient - i know the max length). The Value would be a price and a size so maybe just those two elements byte[]{Float,Integer} or a java object with Float and Integer member variables. I'd want to trigger actions based on market conditions when the planets align just right so I'm not simply ignoring these values or pub/sub'ing them out to client apps, I'm evaluating many of them simultaneously and using them as event triggers. Is something like that remotely possible? On how much hardware?
Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,
Using partitioning, Coherence can handle 1 million updates per second, but the big question is how many updates per second do you need on the hottest instrument at the hottest time?
The other question is related to "the planets lining up", because that may imply a global view of the market, which becomes more difficult in a partitioned system.
To provide a high rate of change to data in a partitioned system, the data providers (those with a large amount of data or a high rate of change) should be in the cluster (not coming in over *Extend) to eliminate one hop. To avoid blocking on the tick update from the data provider, it should locally enqueue the update. The queue servicer (a separate thread) should either coalesce whatever ticks are in the queue into a single putAll(), or if every tick needs to be recorded (i.e. all three ticks in the queue like "change to 3.5", "change to 3.55", "change to 3.6" have to be published, instead of just the latest "change to 3.6") then it would batch up everything in the queue until it hits an item that it already has in its batch, and then do a putAll().
The use of that async publishing mode is what allows for the much higher throughput, particularly when a data provider is producing a huge number of ticks in a given period of time. You can make it even smoother (e.g. avoid outliers caused by some servers being slower) by having more local queues+services (partitioned by Coherence partition, or at the extreme by instrument). You can determine the Coherence partition using the KeyPartitioningStrategy returned from the PartitionedService for the ticks cache.
