LabVIEW 2016 high RAM usage

I just upgraded to LabVIEW LabVIEW 2015 2016. Previously, I had no problem of memory. With 2016, however, even though I have a few screws open, rest, only LabVIEW uses 3 GB of my RAM. As I only have 4 GB, it slows down my computer to a crawl. Everyone knows these problems with 2016 or someone has a solution to reduce the amount of RAM LabVIEW requires? Thanks for the help.

One of my colleagues has some portable "cheap" that are configured in the same way with minimum memory (4 GB).  Even when you are running Windows XP (which, in my view, is smaller and needs less RAM than, say, Windows 08/07/10), it has been very slow to do anything (can you say 'Wait 5 minutes for the OS to load'?).

When Windows is "do its thing" correctly, it usually creates a swap file so that the software can use more than 4 GB of storage space for himself.  As I have indicated in my answer, LabVIEW 2016, when loading, seems to take a small fraction of this (a few hundred MB), even with the open code diagrams and block.  However, if your PC takes several minutes to start, runs very slowly in doing routine tasks and is an 'old' or ridiculously short of memory, it may be wise to (a) upgrade your memory (if you can), or (b) to upgrade your PC to the less a machine with 8 GB.  Remember, you use the PC to run LabVIEW, a solid programming / Data Acquisition/Platform Instrument I/O, surf the Web, send e-mail, or (hmm, I was going to say 'play', but games moves too, and tend to put more demands on the LabVIEW PC material, so both worse...).

  • Svchost.exe (LocalService) abnormally high RAM usage

    Hello, for a long time that I had a problem with the LocalService svchost.exe process where one memory use would rise dramatically, consuming gigabytes of memory after a few days of availability.

    It's a list of the services that hosts the local service svchost.exe process:

    I don't know any way to know which process is using so much memory. Even if I'm running Process Explorer with admin rights, I can't kill or restart one any of them except the Cache of police and WinHTTP (has not release any memory anyway). Really, I'd rather not have to restart my system to free this memory. Is there a way to fix this? Is this a common problem for a svchost.exe LocalService apparently vanilla? Fix for resettlement would it? (I plan on upgrading to 10 soon anyway, I fear that this will always be a problem on 10).

    I tried searching this question for months, and I finally gave up and just decided to ask about it. Thank you for your time.

  • My B50-80 ram usage is too high for a few days

    Hi, my lenovo B50-80 ram usage is too high. It is around 80-90%.but why is this? It slows down. This problem occurs for a few days. It is 30-40% on the previous usage. But in recent days, he has suddenly increased to 80-90%. It slows down the laptop. I have not installed any program in these last days.what to do?

    Hi Johanna,.

    Alternatively, you can try to uninstall the applications that consume more memory, which is not used frequently, if still the same issue trying to run the diagnostics of the LSC (Lenovo Solution Center).

  • High CPU and RAM usage - laptop Dell w / Vista

    Hello

    I have read several posts and tried many suggested fixes, but none seems to work so far.

    Hardware: Dell Inspiron 1525, with 3G of RAM

    Operating system: Vista Home Edition Premium, SP2

    Problem: CPU high (~ 50%) and RAM usage (~ 50%) when ideling.  I did both a "clean boot" and boot into "Safe Mode with network" and neither seemed to make much difference and certainly has not resolved the problem.

    When I go to the 'task manager' is a process "svchost.exe" system which is the eater of resources.  I can move the tab "services", but I'm not really sure how to use the information presented.  This is where I'm stuck, as I said, I read a few other posts with similar (but not identical/software) and I've tried a few things but do not seem to be able to solve the problem.  Please let me know what the next logical steps are at this address.  Thank you.

  • 1 Web site increases ram usage until Firefox slows, then crashes...

    Week or two ago FF33 started to have nits and jerky, gel and then crashed. I went through many support troubleshooting tips p (it comes crashing at this point) pages, uninstalled FF33, deleted files FF, that I could find, which was not all files, installed FF35 FF33, same result.

    Finally found my ram usage is high and paid attention to this. Reduced to 1 site constantly running up to the use of the ram. Regardless if 1 or 30 tabs of this Web site are open. If 1 tablet Omnium ram goes until it crashes. If none are open from this site, FF is fine. I've been on this site for many years without problems and really need to access.

    Any ideas how to solve the cause of that specific Web site?

    Thank you.

    Long answer, posted, empty response is entered. Anyway, great FF now.

  • Usuage high ram. Can go as high as 3 gigs. Have to close Firefox to stop him.

    Firefox has a few updates there, not sure what is. My ram usage began to climb while I have the browser open. If I close the browser, it keeps climbing. He went as high as 3 GB of ram, with only two web pages open. I don't know how high it would go, but I'm not going to find the hard way. He has never done this before one of your updates. To stop it, I have to close the browser and then restart that he abandoned the use of the ram. As soon as I open it again the browser, the use of the ram begins starts to climb. Nothing else on the computer uses ram like this. I use a Dell computer, which has 8 GB of ram. I am running windows anniversary edition 10. I wrote a request for assistance with this, a couple of weeks and got a response that says close the browser and restart it by pressing the control button as a solution. It does more than closing just for that. The ram still rising back up mounted. Y at - it of your add the RAM sucking like that? Any suggestion would be appreciated thanks

    It could be the work of one of your modules. Type of topic: addons in the address bar to open your add-ons Manager. Access key; (Mac=) A)

    In the Manager of Add-ons, on the left, select Extensions. Disable some add-ons, then restart Firefox.

    Some added toolbar and modules of Kaspersky Anti-virus are known to cause problems with Firefox. Disable all of them.

    If the problem persists, disable some more (restarting FF). Keep doing this until the problem is gone. After, you know which group is the origin of the problem. Reactivate the last group ONE AT A TIME (reboot FF) until the problem reports.

    Once you think that you have found the issue, that disable and reactivate all the others, then stop and try again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.

  • Qosmio F60 - alert constantly high CPU usage

    Hello

    About 12 months ago, I bought a Toshiba Qosmio F60 computer laptop 6 GB.

    When exploring using games, facebook etc, I am constantly alert of my Norton informing that there is high CPU usage.

    I have asked around locally and advised to delete Norton because this may be the problem. I'm not eager to do what my subscription is still valid.

    I also learned the other day that this is a common problem with laptops Toshiba using 'Explorer' and that I should use "Mozilla Firefox" instead which would correct the problem.

    I am trying to arrange this.

    Can you please indicate if it is a regular problem with Toshiba laptops and reviewing the options above to try to address this problem.

    It doesn't really seem to my computer, it goes more slowly and when in the Manager tasks, it is constantly fluctuating between 5 and 35%

    I look forward for your reply.

    Thank you

    Hello

    This isn't a problem laptop buddy
    Norton AntiVirus is a good antivirus program, but it uses a lot of resources and my experience locks the CPU.

    I removed this antivirus software and now I m using the avast and Avira Antivir free Antivirus software. Both are freeware software.

    But I still use Internet Explorer. Of course, I also installed the firefox and chrome. All these three browsers are great.

  • Executables LabVIEW 2016

    Hello

    I installed LabVIEW 2016 from 2015.  However, when I deploy my project it does not work.

    After some debugging, I found that it is because of the Application.Kind.  Instead of Application.Kind "Run-time" to return it now says "kind of application not valid."  Is this a known issue?  Is there a better way to determine the path?

    Thank you, Sean

    In 32-bit LV2016, it works for me.  You have the cluster of wired error upward?  If so, a mistake in inbound would result in this kind of invalid application of return.

  • DAQmx read results 2 ms/s in high CPU usage

    I have an application that reads the 32 channels of 2 ms/s analog input signals, at the same time. The actual hardware will be: SMU-8135 Win7, chassis SMU-1071, 2 x SMU-6368 (16 channels). The SMU-two 6368 will provide 32 channels data acquisition.

    I don't have the material at the moment, but I've been estimate the processor on the alternative configurations needs, because I have concerns about the use of the CPU to data acquisition high speed. Two alternative configurations are:

    (1) SMU-8133 (quad core) WinXP, SMU-1062 q, PXI-6133.

    (2) PXI-8106 (dual-core) WinXP, PXI-6133, PXI-1042.

    Note: PXI-6133 supports high speed HAVE 2 ms/s, at the same time.

    I wrote a simple continuous data acquisition software to allow me to compare the CPU usage. The sample rate and the number of channels are configurable. What I found is:

    (1) at low sampling frequency, for example 100 kech. / s, the CPU usage is minimal on both configurations (bicoeur or image), regardless of the number of channels is 1 or 8. The reading of the CPU was about 1-4%

    (2) at high sampling frequency, for example 2 ms/s, what is the number of channels used, either 1 or 8, the CPU utilization was 50% for dual core and 25% for the quad core, IE. a full core has been fully utilized.

    (3) the passage of the low use of the processor (<5%) to="" high="" cpu="" usage="" (="">45%) increases when the sampling rate is rather steep and shows interesting channel-dependence (note the following has been achieved with a PXI-8106 controller, dual-core).

    • @1 channel, it happened between 950 to 970 k
    • @2 channels, it happened between 470 to 480 k
    • @4 channels, it happened between 230 to 240 k,.
    • @8 channels, it happened between 120 to 130 k.

    This model reminds me of buffer length related question but I double checked a sufficient length of the buffer was used. He suggested also, surprising a few traffic jams occurred when the amount of data increases up to certain level.

    My question is, is this a problem with this particular card (PXI-6133) or driver DAQmx (9.5.5f4). How the problem is when I'm doing an acquisition of 32 channels?

    For your information, I have attached the benchmarking software.

    Thank you!

    Donghui Yin

    I followed this example code (see link below) and used based on events DAQmx, now the excessive CPU utilization problem has been resolved. Playback from the CPU is now less than 10 percent, while it could be 50% (in the case of dual-core) or 25% (case of hearts) at the same sample rate and number of channels.

  • Is LabVIEW 2016 fully 64-bit compatible?

    Also recently as in 2015 of LabVIEW, the 'conventional wisdom' (which, I admit, I followed myself) was "install LabVIEW to 32 bit on 64 bit Windows , unless you were really given Big stuff on a PC with a lot of memory.  I (bad?) believed that this was particularly important with device drivers and possibly with RT I also (I thought) heard that NEITHER was currently heading LabVIEW on a platform 64-bit "pure".

    I wanted to ask OR the week, but in the excitement of it all, I forgot - should now consider us install LabVIEW 64-bit on Windows 10 x 64 platforms?  What LabVIEW RT platforms, including PXI controllers?  [Hmm - I didn't follow my own advice on the Forums and do a simple Google search - just a second...]

    OK, the Web seems to say that LabVIEW 2016 has "more support for 64-bit computing".  Maybe now is the time to take another piece of my own advice and "experience" - maybe I'll build a 'pure' 64-bit system and see if I can port my LabVIEW RT code for her...

    OK, the answer to my question is "No."  NOR, we have

    • The Time Module is only compatible with LabVIEW (32 bit). Therefore, you must have LabVIEW (32-bit), even if you use a 64-bit operating system.
