confusing output of "CPU Get RT Loads.vi"

Target material: cRIO-9068

LabVIEW edition development system complete 2014

I'm intrigued by the information provided by the 'Get CPU Loads.vi RT". I wrote a simple test program that I run in interactive mode on my RT goal to demonstrate the problem. See the screenshots in the attached PDF file.

Figure 1 illustrates a timed loop that runs all 500 msec, changing the State of a Boolean indicator and indicator panel update before "CPU load". Figure 2 shows the front panel. Observe that the field ' Total (%). "shows constantly around 17%. Why is this number so high when the program does almost nothing? Figures 3 and 4 see the similar results for a while loop with a waiting vi.

My real applications, which are much more complex than these test programs, are constantly indicating 100% CPU load. It's disturbing, but I don't know that I think that there is the light of the conclusions of my test program. Anyone can shed light on these results?

TIA

It took me some time (I had accidentally unplugged the switch that connects my PC to my PXI - found just by tracing the Ethernet cable and ' Oh, I forgot that the switch... ") Who turned off the power to it?  Oh, Yes, I remember that last week I forgot switch has been connected... ».

My PXI controller is a 8108, who has a dual core Pentium any in it.  As a result, I get two reports of CPU, one for each carrot load.  It is quite clear that the timed loop runs in Core 1 (as the time goes up because I increase the computation inside the loop).

As shown here, the Timed loop runs during three cycles to 0.5 Hz, trying to calculate random numbers 1 million (seems to take a fraction of a second, maybe 50 to 100 ms).  Every half second, I have the CPU load in a separate loop.  To ensure that at least one of the measures to obtain a complete cycle of the loop delay, I delay the start of the loop timed by 1/4 second.

Here is what I get on the fourth measure (the second to the fourth are similar).

You will notice that Core 1, which has the timed loop, is busy at 13% of the time, while the other loop is busy by 0.3%.  Overlooking all 6 reading, Core 0 will never higher than 0.6%, while the Core 1 is either<1% or="" around="" 13%="" (recall="" that="" it="" might="" not="" be="" started,="" or="" may="" be="">

I ran once more, reduce the number of random numbers by a factor of 100 (to 10,000).  The first charges were 0.5% and 0.75% (initialization), the other was 1.6% and 3.4% (from timed loop) and the last four (when the timed loop was running) both hearts were 0.3% or less.  So, in my hands, once the timed loop is running, I can 'measure' its basic with minimal impact loading.

  • Confused about the new iPhone to load

    It seems that online, there are many variations on how to charge an iPhone the first times, we don't know what to believe.

    Historically, I charge my iPhone for a day the first time that I get it or after I got a refurb from Apple. My battery life has always been fantastic, representatives of engineering apply even told to say.

    This time, I couldn't wait to load the device as I normally would. I connected my iPhone to my PC, did a restore of backup and wait for the iPhone to be able to load completely (about 30 minutes).

    Given that I had a lot of things happens, I didn't have the opportunity to "condition" of the battery, charge of the day to the next, or as some reports say that I have to load it only via the provided OEM charger (not PC). Some say that your battery die completely and then get away after the phone two hours before recharging.

    All these 'new' information is downright confusing. And yet, I see Apple suggesting as a result a large part of these 'tips '.

    Any thoughts on pricing?

    There is no requirement to 'manage' load.

    Charge at any time, for any period of time.

    You can use the phone while charging.

    Don't deplete the battery at a low level.

    Another that these steps, no more measures need to be taken.

  • Using too much CPU only when loading the network

    When FF works closely with the network (wired or wireless) card for access to the network, CPU utilization spikes in way more than 70% and he stayed there until the page loading process finishes web.
    After the upload is complete, the CPU usage remains somewhere between 5-10%.

    When I look at clips youtube 1080 p, where FF is duty next buffer part of this clip I watch, new CPU use peaks above 70% with the flash plugin and gives a total of a 100% of cpu for a few moments and use which make this clip to stop playing or to frame bad times, and ties.

    I have been activated in about: config webgl acceleration to activate the force and that much improve the initial problem, then I activated gfx.direct2D - activated force and also to improve the problem remaining.
    I also disable the safe_mode parameter file adobe flash config protectedmode = 0.

    I have to mention that the initial problem was way to bad ... 
    

    Now I get to point when I don't know what to do so that FF does not use much CPU loading pages.
    As you can see I use to publish this version of Nightly 64 bit (I think it's the 64-bit version...) which is much more better and I would like to read youtube 1080 p clip normally, after that I have wait a few moments to buffer, before starting to play.
    Version 32 bit FF won't let me watch YouTube without framing hurt when the clip is buffered.

    I was monitoring the Task Manager and all the processes listed... and there, I can't blame antivirus or firewall to the peaks of the processor. Also if I do the rest of the network traffic, as well as inside the network custom CPU even file copy flinch.

    Can someone help or give an opinion on what setting to do, so I can eliminate these spikes?

    Thanks in advance!

    Problem solved partially:

    I have observed that the CPU spikes occur not only while I use FF or mozilla nightly, but on all web browsers (Chrome, IE, Opera, etc) that I have used, while these browsers accessing the network.

    Uninstalling the firewall of the solution of the AV portion has helped a lot and by also disabling the bed in the firewall solution of W7, but for long term use, this isn't the right answer (for my at least). Without any firewall FF work or installed works like a charm, while the CPU usage is increased at a decent level of 50% max (total tasks and running services)!

    Anyway, as I said earlier, my pc without any firewall operation is not a good think to do, so I'll replace my computer with a faster, or I'm going to overclock it at a level that zapping INTERNET and navigation will not infringe too much on the performance of the system, or... I live whit it and I accept the limitations...

    Perhaps, in the development of the FF, programmers will keep in mind that not everyone on this planet has powerful processors - and... give a few options... to decrease the CPU at acceptable levels, event, even if they use the firewall solutions that violate on the CPU while FF is buffering of data across the network.

    I should also mention that Mozilla nightly (64-bit) and FF, are always better then IE - in my opinion - which is.

  • I upgraded to FF 32.0.2 and just get "Problem loading Page" all the site not working in Internet Explorer. Tried to reboot &amp; download again - no luck

    Any Web page, I try to access since I downloaded the latest version of FF, they do not load. All I get is the error message "problem loading Page connection has expired.

    The server to smile.amazon.com takes too long to respond.

       The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
       If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
       If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    

    I cannot access these pages in IE - just FF - and immediately after that I installed FF 32.0.2

    I have tried to reboot and same reinstall - but can't access anything on FF.

    Hello, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox. If please delete all the rules of the program for firefox to your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

    Uninstall immediately, not just out of the program, because it will leave some of the services that are running, and I recommend to use an uninstaller like
    Your Uninstaller! 7 , because it allows to uninstall everything related to the program.

  • Tecra 8100 CPU gets too hot

    Well, some may remember my previous post about the fan activation in my Tecra 8100.

    This laptop came to me as a gift by a customer, because the screen didn't work. After some research, the problem was the internal cold cathode that was broken. Once replaced: Yes! a free book for me! It was a Pentium III 650 Mobile, with 64 MB of RAM and a 12 GB hard drive. I replaced all the components (which are now on sale, btw), and now has a Pentium III 850 Mobile, 512 MB of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. Someone gave me a card PCMCIA of WiFi 11 Mbit/s, and now how it works with Windows XP Professional and updated Toshiba Utilities and drivers downloaded from Toshiba USA.

    What's the buzz? SpeedFan, Motherboard Monitor and other monitoring utilities reported temperatures up 72a? Aºc in the processor. I opened the computer laptop and put thermal paste instead of the sticker that has the heat sink. Temperature guard high and utilities Toshiba even with parameters ' cooling high performance "does not have the fan to cool the cpu...

    I hangs at all, but the business cards and pcmcia laptop have too hot even with the system works with any of the applications running. Lowering of the CPU clock or the ratio helps not at all.

    I think putting a fan somewhere extra to force air circulation and that cool the cpu, unless...

    ... Toshiba could develop a utility that allows you to directly control the fan speed. I don't know if the thermal management is hardware or software-driven. If it is a software-driven, it should be easy to create a utility that directly access the fan and temperature records. It would be MUCH better than simply let the computer decide when and how long to activate the fan.

    I'm sure that Toshiba engineers are busy with more important things which will not create the utility for us, so...

    .. What to check or do to cool the CPU at more appropriate values?

    Thank you all!

    Hello

    As in you previous announcement describes the Toshiba power saver controls the CPU and fan usage.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12585
    This software works very well, and if you use the laptop as prescribed, you should not get all the problems and overheating problems.

    The problem is that you have changed all the devices and parts on you laptop. The new parts are effective, but produce more heat.
    On the laptop you can cool the CPU with a small fan, and if she goes out, it is necessary to decrease the performance of the processor.
    It is a simple fact. All these functions can be set with energy saver.
    In addition, it is very important that your cooling module is clear and free from dust and debris obstruct the work of fan.

    I upgraded to Yosemite and now my photos do not recognize my icloud shared photos.  I tried to open the icloud preferences to ensure that pictures are always enabled but I get "unable to load the icloud preferences panel" every time.

    Suggestions?

    May be a corrupt .plist.

    Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

    Quit the application.

    Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

    Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

    If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.
