Which application are able to use a raid for performance?

Hello. I'm considering the setup of a simple raid (two internal 500G hard drives, using Disk Utility's software raid option) to speed up Photoshop. Will the speed gain be limited to applications that can have scratch disks assigned to them (Photoshop, Illustrator), or can others use them, too, maybe including the system itself?
Thanks

Software RAID produces a single logical Volume that the System sees as indistinguishable from a regular volume. Any Application can use it for any purpose.
A RAID gets its speed by having the B-Drive pre-reading the expected next block of data while the A-Drive is transferring its just-read data. This allows for the seek time of the B-drive to happen concurrently with the transfer time of the A-drive, providing a speed-up. Using a single RAID Volume to Read input, read and write scratch, and write output moves the read/write head away from the intended data files and defeats the speedup.
In addition, Mac OS X keeps very little of the System and Applications in RAM at any given time. Parts are paged in when needed, and most of the System and Applications are already loaded into "page frames", ready to be paged in when needed. Any disk activity that moves the disk read/write head away from the System area slows down your entire Mac.
For this reason, some user choose to set up a Boot drive, that contains only System. Library, Applications, and the hidden Unix files including Paging. Users files and Applications Libraries such as Clip Art and itunes collections are moved to a different Volume. RAM Memory is increased to avoid the use of scratch except in the most extreme cases.

  • How can I find which applications are using the most power?

    I have recently noticed a full charge of power doesn't last as long as it used to on my iPad 2.  Is there some way to determine which applications are using the most power?
    I have been monitoring my home network router accesses and have noticed the iPad logs accesses every 15 seconds.  This only happened recently.  It had been well behaved and only accessing once or twice a day before.  I installed the most recent iTunes upgrade, per suggestions during a Sync.  The problems seemed to occur after this update.  I have gone through all the settings and have minimized the applications requiring higher power (I switch off the location services unless I'm away from home.  Likewise, I turn off my cellular carrier unless I'm away from home, etc.)
    In short, how can I maximize my power usage (aside from turning it off)?
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Thanks for responding so quickly.
    I'm really trying to find out why the battery is depleting much faster than it used to all of a sudden.  I used to be able to put a full charge on it and it would last about 5 to 6 days with normal use (normal for me).  Now that battery only lasts about 2 to 3 days with the same use.
    I DO recharge it when it needs to be charged but this is indicating there is something else (new) that is causing the power drain.

  • Which DCs are to be used in CE 7.1EHP1 in place of the ones usedin NW04s?

    My requirement is to set the parameters in NWA=>SOA Management=>SOA Middleware Global Settings through an WebDynpro Java application. Now I know I can do that. I have also got the code for it. You can have a look at my earlier post:
    Set parameters in NetWeaver Administrator using WebDynpro Java Application
    In that post I am told to refer to the following SAP delivered standard DCs:
    engine.application.facade

    But these DCs are not there in CE 7.1EHP1.
    Can anyone tell which DCs are to be used in place of above mentioned DCs?

    Hello
    It's not the Macbook which is being retired - just the old software version that runs on it. Simply download and install the latest software version on your existing machine.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
    If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.

  • Is there any tool uses Selenium tests for performance test

    Hello!
    I am looking for a tool for using performans test.
    I have Selenium test scenarios and I want to use them for performance tests.
    Which tools use Selenium tests for performance tests or
    Which are the best tools to test a JSF Application? Which experiences
    have you made?

    Hi,
    If you have the test kit installed i.e. the CTK , then you will find it under the corresponding test folder. For example , i have it under C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsEmbeddedCompact7TestKit\tests\target\
    The test harness files , tux and kato can be found under 
    C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsEmbeddedCompact7TestKit\harnesses\target\
    The above two files tux and kato would be required for running any tests on Windows embedded compact platforms.
    Depending on your platform , you may choose to use the corresponding binaries in the sub directory.

  • How to tell which Indexes are not being used?

    We are a large development shop and have many customers. Our database design is very generic so that it works for all of our customers. Each night we use an SSIS ETL process to bring down large amounts of data from the iSeries into SQL. One
    particularily large customer takes a very long time and we are looking for ways to speed up thier data import and transformation. I would like to see which indexes he does not use and possibly remove them. Each night we fully repopulate hundreds of staging
    and ods tables and incrementally delete and repopulate the days work for a handful of history type tables. Removing some indexes off of the large tables could make a big impact.

  • Which applications are Intel-compatible?

    In the System Profiler, I have four kinds of applications-- Classic, Native (preferred) or Classic, PowerPC, and Universal. I'm migrating applications over to a new Intel iMac. What's the compatibility with these various applications?
    Here are my guesses:
    Classic- not compatible at all
    Native (preferred) or Classic- not sure about this one
    PowerPC- might or might not run under Rosetta
    Universal- completely compatible
    Corrections or comments, please.

    I think that Native (preferred) or Classic applications are applications like The Sims that can run under OS X and OS 9; they may run under Rosetta. You may be able to find them on the lists on Kappy's guide.
    2) Some of the links mentioned in that article are no longer valid (they don't exist)
    One link requires a MacFixIt Pro subscription, all other links work (I just tested them).
    3) Some links to information about compatible applications haven't been updated in over a year. I bet there are some applications with compatible versions now that didn't exist a year ago.
    Information on Universal applications (at least, Apple's guide and MacUpdate) is still being updated. Information about Rosetta may be outdated, but you can easily check whether an application has become Universal by checking the Universal lists; also, if an application doesn't run in Rosetta and hasn't been updated to be Universal then chances are that it won't run on Intel Macs (incompatibility issues with Rosetta, if fixable, have been fixed long ago).
    So I think the four types of applications have been covered :
    Classic - won't run at all; Native/Classic and PowerPC - may run under Rosetta, see the Rosetta lists and check whether Universal versions have been released just to make sure; Universal - will run, no need to check since they already appear as Universal on your Mac.

  • Haven't been able to use Safari Browser for months, it keeps crashing seconds after I launch it

    I haven't been able to use my Safari Browser for months. Each time I launch it, it crashes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
    When you post the log extract or the crash report, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
