Which is the Fastest?

I need to purchase a new computer asap. I was settle to purchase the 17 iMac but now apple came out with the new iMac, and you guys all know as apple junkie I will want the lates but, that puts me into a difficult situation, I need the computer by the end of next week I call the apple store to place an order and to ask them if it was possible to received the computer, by the time I need it, and they said NO! the guy when on to explain that the fastes way for me to get it was to order right there and wait for two weeks, when I ask him when they'll be availble at the stores he told me it could be several weeks, but Steve Jobs said and I quote, "the iMac is shipping today from our factory on the far east, and they will be availble at the store by the middle of next week" now I will like to ask to anybody that may have some info on the subject to please, tell me who should I believe.
thanks in advance.

Believe what the online shipping times tell you. They are the most correct estimate that you will receive.
My experience is that most bricks and mortar retailers take several weeks after the announcement of new models to actually receive them. To get it quickly, order online from the Apple Store.
You will have to decide which is more important to you - to get the new model or to get it by your deadline. If you can live with the ALS iMac, those are no doubt still available in local retailers.

Which is the fastest dom parser around?

Does anyone know of a fast dom parser?
I want to speed up the parsing process in my code. At the moment I am using the parser from w3c and it is not that great in speed!

Why not just try using a few different parsers and test the peformance yourself?
As for recommendations, I haven't done any performance testing to know which is better.

How to find out which usb is the fastest

How can you find out which usa port is the fastest, using a mypassport for my backup photos??

It's called a USB (Universal Serial Bus).
All the USB ports operate within a given speed range. You have USB2.0 on your iMac. All your USB2 ports operate at the same speed up to 480MB/sec. Realistically you'll only see ~300MB/Sec.
Pick a port and use your backup drive.

The first link will redirect you to the 2nd/3rd links, so accessing the 2nd/3rd links should take you directly to the username/password page.
However, I believe it doesn't matter how you access your application and I would say all the three links are similar -- I don't agree with "every second counts" line here since the first link doesn't take more than a second to redirect you to the other links. We (Apps DBAs) should have more tasks/activities to worry about (performance tunning, maintain the application, achieve high availability ..etc) where every second counts (like you said) rather than worrying about a link that would take a second more to get you to the main login page.
Thanks,
Hussein

Question to everyone: Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?

_*Questions to everyone:*_
*Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?*
*Have you found any tricks to make Safari faster ?*
*Have you found any tricks to make Webkit, Firefox or Google Chrome faster ?*
Thanks for your participation and helping others enjoying speed like you !

HI,
Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?
Safari. But as with any browser, speed depends on what type of internet connection have, high speed being the fastest.
Have you found any tricks to make Safari faster ?
Empty the cache, Reset Safari, delete WebpageIcons.db from ~/Library/Safari
A lean machine runs faster and better performance. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*
Have you found any tricks to make Webkit, Firefox or Google Chrome faster ?
Same for any browser. Empty the cache often, clear the history.
Information here regarding Safari's web kit. The WebKit Open Source Project
Cisco is changing going to have an impact on internet speeds. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/191125/newcisco_router_supports_322tbps_designed_for_internetvideo.html

Which Distro has the fastest boot time?

As the title which Linux has the fastest boot time? Anything faster than 10 Sec is worth to mention.
However, I do want a few thing out of it. I would like some kind of GUI, Web browser, Music Player of some kind, and a good Text editor, along with some CLI software.
I am working on a project on my computer, which allow me dual boot directly from a CF card with a IDE to CF adapter or load it into my powerful OS(Arch Linux). For the most part, you just want to do a quick E mail check before you leave the house. And you don't want the computer on for like 8 hours sitting there doing nothing but waste energy. So I think it would be a good idea to do so. Due to the limitation of my case, I can only have one hard drive. And I don't want to use that one drive to dual boot my computer.
I am really looking in something that only need a few seconds.
hehe Thanks

Faunos has a nice "live" OS that boots to KDE with archlinux packages (600) and can boot in ~60 secs. It operates in ram which gives it a speedy performance.
I have it booting from a Compact flash UDMA device in an Intel based computer using either an IDE to CF or a sata to cf adapter, each powered by the normal FDD five volt connector.
The UDMA CF cards reach 45MB/sec read speed. When booting with the CF cards into a "live" system, there are no writes until the user desires to "save session" to an overlay. To avoid writing to the boot device, an alternate device can be used via USB, for example, to retain the desired packages in a repo.
Faster ram will speed the boot process. Also, if one uses a repo device(another CF for example) much of the boot package load can be placed in that repo for install as needed. This could reduce the boot time considerably.
In my system, I have a repo built from 2 CF cards in raid0 with 15+GB capacity and utilize bookmarks for loading packages from the repo. This repo has 80+ mb/s speed.
Perhaps this is of interest to you....Cfast is coming which will improve the read/write speed while in sataII to a probable 160MB/sec for a single Cfast card.
EDIT: If you boot to CLI, the boot time is reduced and e-mail is available.

Which carrier has the fastest network??

Hi everyone,
I live in Sydney so my question only relates to carrier's in Australia. Basically i'm shopping around for a iphone, but i'm not sure if i should go with Telstra, Optus or Vodafone?
Telstra keeps harping on about how is has the fastest 3G network so does anyone have any experience with that or are they all just the same re download speeds?
Thanks in advance!

I think it will depend where you are and at what stage the development of those networks is at.
If all networks are saying they have a 3G signal then at a minimum they will all provide a max of 384kbps download speed, as this is what 3G could achieve when launched.
However some networks are upgrading their cellsites to have what is called HSDPA, this is a faster version of 3G which will give you up to 3.6mbps dl speed.
A newer version of this is called HUSPA which will give you up to 7.2mbps dl speed.
The iPhone uses HSDPA, so in answer to your question, the best thing to do is ask the operators as it also depends whether they have upgraded the cell sites in your area.
Telstra may have achieved the highest speeds, but if it's not in your part of the country what is the point!!

Which Partition is the fastest? 1st or 2nd?

If I partition my boot drive so I have Lion on one partition, and Snow Leopard on the other. Which partition would be the fastest? I want Lion to be on the fast one.

To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

What is the fastest way of getting data?

With a scanning electron microscope, I need to scan a 512*512 pixel area with a pixel repetition of 15000 (two channels), meaning averaging over 15000 measurements. Simultaneously I have to adjust the voltage output for every pixel.
I am using a 6111E Multifunction I/O board in a 800MHz P3. The whole task has do be done as fast as possible (not more than 20 minutes altogether).
What is the fastest way to get this huge amount of data with averaging and output in between? (E.g. do I use buffered read with hardware triggering or is there a faster way?)

Using the NI-DAQ API (not LabView) will give you a significant amount of more control over what happens and when to the data stream; which translates to a more efficient program. But you need to program in C/C++ or Delphi then. The Measurement Studio provides ActiveX controls that are like the LabView ones for C&C++ (they�re slow like the LabView ones though � not a lot you can do about the Windows GDI).
What are you trying to sample 15000 times? The 512*512 pixel field?
That�s almost 15Gigs of data! And it means you need to process data at 12.8MB/s to finish it in 20 minutes. I hope you know C, x86 assembly and MMX.
I would setup a huge circular buffer (NI-DAQ calls them �double buffers�), about 30 seconds worth or so, to use with SCAN_Start. Then I would proces
s the actual buffer the card is DMA�ing the data into with a high priority thread. Progressively sum the scan values from the 16bit buffer (the samples are only 12 bit, but the buffer should still be 16bits wide) into a secondary buffer of DWORDs the size of the screen (512*512), and you�ll need two of those, one for each channel. Once the 15000 scans are complete, convert each entry into a float divide by 15000.0f, and store it in a third buffer of floats.
If you wish to contract this out, send me an email at [email protected]

What is the fastest way to find a Node in an xml ?

Hi all,
We have a procedure which has to process huge XML documents (files of up to 250Mega).
Without going too deep in the algorithm, I need to read data from legacy and build nodes in XML.
In the legacy data I have written in tabular form the xml hierarchy
For example Root-Branch1-SubBranch2-Leaf1
I need the fastest possible algorithm to point to SubBranch2, so that I can append Leaf1 Node, in the example.
Can anybody suggest me the right approach ? for example I wonder if I can use together SAX for finding the parent node and DOM for appending new Nodes ? or can I use XPath ?
Any suggestion is really welcome!
Thanks
Francesco

Not sure if XPath is built on top of DOM or SAX in most implementations, but that would be a major decider. If DOM, you cannot possible hope to ready that many megabytes into memory on a consistent basis (especially if your system is handling other requests). If SAX, then memory should not be as much of an issue and may be a viable option.
However, if you are only descending two or three levels into the hierarchy of a document, XPath would really only be a 'convenience' feature. It would be trivial for you to write your own SAX parser to descend to this level. At the same time, you would have a custom XML serializer (just outputing the strings read in from SAX) that would append additional markup according to your requirements.
Due to the size of your document, memory could be an issue. This will tend to make you gravitate towards SAX.

Please suggest the fastest way to install Solaris x86 PC 30 boxes

I've already tested one and it's successfully installed.
I have to install 30 boxes , all are same spec.
Please advise the fastest procedure to install.
Note : There is no sparc machine.

Only problem with imaging a Solaris x86 box is that your machines will end up with the same hostid (which is pseudo-randomly generated at Solaris installation time for x86). This may, or may not, be a problem, depending on what commercial software you use...
To avoid this, you have to use jumpstart, or do some serious hacking.

What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6?

What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6? I'm new to Mac so please excuse the weird question.

Ok but that is a feature that I think is available to older Mac's that have an SSD so it is not totally restricted to Retina models or even the newest models of Mac's.
With that you could say No Mac is what you paid for without ML installed. Which I disagree with.

Well, I am. Power Nap is just one of the features you don't get on a Retina unless you do run Mountain Lion.

How to make a table copy - the fastest way????

Hi,
Well, I have the following task to do in the minimal possible time:
Task: duplicate a table in my instance database. The source table name is SPC.
The destination table name is SPC_REP. Both are partitioned.
The trouble is my source table has 40 million rows, but I need to copy only 27 million related to a column which I will use a condition in where clause.
Ok, so I have some questions:
Question 1)
What's the fastest way to provide this copy?
Export/import, Insert into, sqlloader (this one I've never used)
Question 2)
I am planning to do this by export/import utility. But I don't want to waste time doing first the export process and only after all doing import process. I would like to do export and import simultaneously to save time as table has so many rows.
Question 3)
If I use export/import I will not be able to create the copy table on the same schema as it is my source table, correct? Correct me, if I'm wrong...
Thank you all,
And any hint will be appreciated.

Export & import probably isn't the best solution here. It's not particularly fast, reuires that you create an additional copy of the data in your dump file, involves the cost of pulling all the data out of Oracle and puts it back in, etc.
Transportable tablespaces would be an option, assuming your partitioned table isn't in the same tablespace as a bunch of other opjects.
Personally, I would probably do a
CREATE TABLE <<copy name>>
AS
SELECT *
FROM <<original name>>
WHERE 1=2
INSERT /*+ APPEND */
INTO <<copy name>>
NOLOGGING
SELECT *
FROM <<original name>>
WHERE <<something>>Justin

APPEND & NOLOGGING may be faster so I added that.

What is the fastest way to pass data between parallel threads?

I have a top level vi running with 6 parallel threads. I need to pass some data from digital I/O to several of the threads. What is the fastest responding way to do this. I am controlling a machine that has quite a few sensed events happening at very close intervals, some as close together as 1 to 2 milliseconds, and I seem to be randomly missing the signal from these sensors. How can I distribute the I/O to the different threads and not miss any inputs?

I usually use a Queue to pass data from one loop to another. Other
choices are Functional Globals or Notifiers. It kind of depends on what
you need to do as to which one is best, so it's a bit hard to recommend
one over the others without knowing more about your application.
Both Queues and the Functional Globals (if written correctly) can
buffer data so you're less likely to lose data if one loop gets behind
the others.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
