What motherboard for multi-core ?

Hi all,
LabVIEW 8.5 with the multi-core capability seems like a nice idea, so I'd like to move my application to a multi-core machine.
I have four PCI-devices: R-series FPGA card, GPIB-card, Video capture card, and a normal DAQ card.
I can imagine dropping the DAQ card, but that still leaves three PCI cards.
Now looking at what my computer vendor has to offer the most PCI-slots I have seen on a multi-core(I'd like to go with a quad-core Q6600) ready motherboard is two!
So anyone know of any qoad-core compatible motherboards with 3 or 4 conventional PCI-slots ?
The other (expensive!) option ofcourse is to get new PCI-e cards, does NI have those?
regards,
-A

One other idea, use an external PCI expansion chassis. This one has a PCI Express host adapter and 4 PCI slots.

64-bit and Support for Multi-Core Computers

I recently bought one of the new 12-core Mac Pro's from Apple, but was disappointed to see the lack of 64-bit support and optimization for multi-core computers within InDesign. When producing magazines with hundreds of pages and hundreds of fonts, the need for multi-core support and 64-bit processing are vital.
Can anyone at Adobe confirm that they will implement this in CS6? It's long overdue.

InDesign is a really complicated program. 64 bit support is of marginal use of InDesign. It would be faster (as is the case using ID Server 64 bit on Windows), but I'm not sure how much of a difference that would make for the average desktop user.
Adobe has done a lot of multi-threading work under the hood for CS5 (and pdf export is one of the first fruits of that). What further support they might add for CS+, is anyones guess, but it'll be easier now that a lot of the preliminary work is done. Each feature would be a separate effort, so if there's something SPECIFIC you'd like to see multi-threaded, I suggest you write that in a feature request. The more detailed you can be about it, the better!

What is a multi-core intel processor please?

silly question i know but i was gonna download some trial software and this was in the system specs!
my macbook is a 2ghz intel core 2 duo, is this classed as a muti-core please?
again apologies for the silly question but i was just a little confused
cheers!

Hi Bad Monk,
no need for apologies.
Your Intel Core 2 Duo processor is a multi-core processor since it incorporates 2 cores.

Clarification of Max 2xCPUs Caveat for OBISE1 for Multi-Core Processors

Hi all,
I hope this post finds you all well.
I'm just hoping for clarification on the Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One caveat that it can use a maximum of 2 CPUs. Can someone please confirm how this effects multi-core processors?
For example, if I have a machine with 2 x quad-core processor, is this classified as 2 CPUs?
Kind Regards,
Gary.

It's not so much how an application "recognizes" multi-cores but rather how multi-threaded is the application. For example, if I import (or export) 500 images can I continue reviewing in Lr's Library module? The answer, of course, is yes.
Whether a single quad or dual qauds make a difference is entirely dependent on your processing.

IDOC DELVRY05 - What structure for multi-level packing?

Hi All
I am creating DELVRY05 idocs via WE19.
I am using handling materials, and packing my materials into handling units, which are in turn packed in a further level of handling unit. So we have eaches packed in boxes, and boxes packed in a container.
I an set up this scenario directly in VL31N, so I am happy that the data that I want to work with works.
In WE19 I can set up single layer packing, i.e., eaches packed in containers, but I can not get multi level packing to work.
I suspect that my organisation of E1EDL37 and E1EDL44 segments is incorrect.
My question is this:
What layout should I have for my E1EDL37 and E1EDL44 segments, and what order should they appear in my idoc?
Thanks in advance.
James

James,
Did you have a solution for this? I'm having the same issue. I couldn't able to make it work correctly. Somewhere I'm missing a small part, but couldn't able to figure it out.

License for multi-core CPU on SQL Server Express

I would like to know is it Legal to use SQL Server Express 2008 R2 / 2012
on a machine using 6 cores CPU(e.g.Xeon E5-2440).
Thank you.

SQL Express 2012 will USE a maximum of 4 cores, but there's nothing preventing you running on a server with more cores than that, it simply won't use those additional 2 cores.
For the limitations of the different versions of SQL Server 2012 see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=SQL.110).aspx#CrossBoxScale
I can't remember the exact situation with 2008 R2 unfortunately. From
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.105).aspx#Scalability you'll see it's listed simply as being limited to 1 CPU with no mention of cores, so it MIGHT be the case that it will use all of that one physical CPU, but can't remember if that's
definitely the case or not.

Dual Processor Multi Core Parrell Processing Question

Hey Guys
I'm looking for a little clarification on an issue with parrell
processing in LabView. If I have a Dual Processor machine with two 4 core CPU's
will be able to access all 8 cores in the LabView environment. I'm presuming it
can use any cores the operating system can see?
Thanks for the help,
Tom
Solved!

it is the job of the OS that applications can use all cores if necessarry. So for the application itself, it should make no difference if the system (in hardware) is MultiCPU, MultiCore or even simply HyperThread.....

Its true, but I would like to add my 5 cents here.
Lets say, if you have single loop like
while (true){
//do something
then OS will get no chance to run it in multiple threads. So, you will get max 12,5% CPU load at 8 cores PC or 50% max on dual core PC.
I have dual core PC right now, and lets check it:
So, as we can see - 50% CPU load reached (one core loaded more, but its another story).
Well, if we will use two while loops, then we will get 100 % load:
Of course, if you will need to load all 8 cores, then you should have 8 parallel loops.
Compare BD above with the following:
We have two Array minmax functions, and they independend, but we have 50% only.
Well, you can get also 100% CPU utulization withing single while loop. In th example below you have two SubVI, which called in the same loop:
We have here 100 %. Important, that these VIs should be reenterant!
See what happened if they not reeenterant:
Now a little bit about Vision. Behing of most of the Vision SubVIs are DLL calls. Some Vision functions already optimized for multicore execution. For example, convolution:
On the BD above we have single loop with one SubVI, but both cores are used (because convolute itself already optimized for multi core).
Remember, that not all Vision functions optimized yet. For, example, LowPass still single-threaded (compare this BD with BD above):
Sure, we can utilize multi cores - just perform parallel execution (you have to split image to two parts, then join together and so on):
Remember, that SubVIs should be reeentrant, and all DLL calls should be thred safe (not in UI thread). Also good idea to turn off debugging in such experiments for eliminate additional CPU load.
Another point about 8 cores. As far as I know, LabVIEW (and LabVIEW-based application) will support only 4 cores within one execution system by default (at least prior to LabVIEW 2009). If you need to utulize all 8 cores, then you should add some lines into LabVIEW.ini. Refer to the following thread where you can found more details:
Interpolate 1d slow on 8 core machine
Hope all written above was correct.
Thank for reading and best regards,
Andrey.

Aggregate Storage And Multi-Threading/Multi-Core Systems

Please pardon if this question has been asked before, but the Forum search is not returning any relevant results.
We are in the process of purchasing hardware for an 11.1.2 Essbase environment. We are going 64-bit, on Windows 2008, with either 32 GB or 64 GB of system RAM. The debate we are having is the number of CPUs and cores per CPU. We have not built any ASO databases as of yet, but we plan to launch a major BSO to ASO conversion project once 11.1.2 is off the ground here.
Historically, with BSO, we did not see performance improvements significant enough to justify the cost of additional CPUs when we ran calcs on multi-CPU systems vs. single or dual CPU systems, even when the settings and design should have taken the most advantage of BSO's multi-threading capabilities. However, it would seem that ASO's design may be able to make better use of multi-core systems.
I know that there are a lot of factors behind any system's performance, but in general, is ASO in 11.1.2 written well enough to make it worthwhile to consider, say, a four CPU, total 16 core system vs. a 2 CPU, total four core system?

Grand central dispatch - infancy, not really doing its job, and I don't think apps have to be specifically written for HT, but they do have to not do things that they use to - prevent threads from going to sleep! or be parked.
high usage is not necessarily high efficiency. often the opposite.
Windows 7 seems to be optimized for multi-core thanks to a lot of reworking. Intel wants and knows it isn't possible to hand code, that the hardware has to be smarter, too. But the OS has a job, and right now I don't think it does it properly. Or handle memory.
Gulftown's 12MB cache will help, and over all should be 20% more efficient doing its work.
With dual processors, and it doesn't look like there are two quick path bridges, data shuffling has led to memory thrashing. Use to be page thrashing with not enough memory. Then core thrashing but having the cores, but not integrated (2008 is often touted as being greatest design so far, but it was FOUR dual-cores, 2009 was the first with a processor that really was new design and (native) 4-core.
One core should be owned by the OS so it is always available for its own work and housekeeping.
The iTunes audio bug last year showed how damaging and not to implement code and how a thread could usurp processing and add a high cpu temperature while basically doing nothing, sort of a denial of service attack on the processor - those 80*C temps people had.
All those new technology features under development and not like OpenCL, GCD and even OpenGL are tested, mature but rather 1.0 foundation for the future. A year ahead of readiness.

What are the speeds of singe/multi core processor for iPhone 6

i have an iPhone 6 and have just run Geekbench 3 test for the processors and got:
SIngle Core 1164
Multi Core 2049
Geekbench give an average score of:
Single Core 1607
Multi Core 2831
The scores for my phone seem to be quite low in comparison to Geekbench results.
I this something I should be concerned with?

No, you don't have to be concerned. Every bench test will give you different results, and In the end it's a phone and not a high-end computer like the Mac Pro to do your video editing.

X120E Multi Core Warning -The hardware is not functioning properly. What now?

Ran the Thinkpad ThinkVantage Test and received a Warning on the CPU Multi-core test.
The hardware is not functioning properly. To correct the problem:
Turn off the system.
Detach the power cord and wait for one minute.
Re-attach the power cord and re-boot the system.
Re-run the test.
Performed the above, still receiving the warning.
What next?

Have you contacted Lenovo Support? The only thing I can think of is either a straight-up hardware defect or maybe cooling fan blockage of some sort. Could be the RAM, though it's unlikely. Still, if it consistently has this issue, and something like Prime95 errors out on one of the cores, you may need to RMA it.

What Do Multi-Core Processors Do?

I posted a thread on this some time ago, and my understanding was that a multi-core processor allowed for computing tasks be performed simultaneously. Rather than one after another, which is what a single-core processor would do. This is often applied within the applications themselves, to increase execution speed. Such applications being multi-threaded applications.
But I've recently learnt that even single core processors can execute code in more than one thread. So in this sense, what extra functionality does having multiple cores give you? Or am I wrong in thinking that single core processors can do this too? I'm trying to weigh up the advantages of buying a Mac Pro over a different model like an iMac.
There's a hole in my understanding somewhere, I just don't know where it is.
Any info appreciated.
Many thanks,
Adam

multi-threading varies by application
Think of the system having reserved rights to 0, some background task(s) to 1, Safari on 2, etc. is one scenerio.
Some but not all or even a lot of apps are truly multi-thread.
Faster processor cores are still more important than how many cores.
one core with hyper-threading can execute two threads, and deliver 20-35% more in performance at the expense of running hotter and using more watts. HT came back in 2009 with Nehalem and Core i-Series.
Dual processor, two cpus, have been around for a long time on Macs back to G4/500DP and dual and quad-core is just more efficient to manufacture and build into systems (dual core Atom or A8's in mobile devices).
Programs that worked without HT sometimes don't work properly with H-T until they are recompiled and optimized properly.
Your real question is what Mac to buy though, and what you actually plan to run and do.
And there are processors for laptops, desktop, towers and more. And all have different performance.

So getting things to work in multi-core, multi-threaded, how much memory you want, the need for multiple drives (SSD boot drive and 1TB data drive even in iMac now), and graphic offerings.
Start with what you use, then to what you need to buy. Don't put the cart before the horse. A Mac Pro or iMac may seem at first to be on somewhat equal footing.

Currently on my powermac I... photoshop large files, some video conversion (avi -> DVD via visual hub), and the reason why I'm considering upgrading is playing 1080p movies in VLC; currently choppy as all ****. Also when I figure it out converting these 1080p movies to a watchable format on my TV screen; probally going to have to wait till I get a blue-ray burner,
