Parallel for loop 2D table

Hello

I don't have any experience with parallel for loops, so I need your help.

Goal: To do a calculation (average, average) on the rows (or columns) table 2D as quickly as possible. The calculations are independent of each other and I would get a table 1 d with the results.

I read a few posts on parallel for loops and I would like to find an example for my trivial problem, but I can't.

Could you help me, it is possible is improve it the effectiveness of the calculation on lines with parallelism in LabVIEW? and it is, could you post an example how to do?

Thank you

If the speed issues, do not write your own "average." First of all, it already is in the range of statistics, but then you must be inline your average VI or do the calculation explicitly (as shown below). the size of the array never changes for the duration of the loop, it seems redundant to get the size of the array on each iteration.

Here's what you could do.

On my bench, it's much faster than the use of 'mean.vi' of the palette. Average a overhead, Subvi (1) (2) needs to get N with each call and (3) is also an unnecessary error checking.

(Sorry, I have 32 processors, so the number of instances is set a little high. Modify if needed).

    A parallel FOR loop has an overhead for parallelization (split the problem, then go back the results, etc.). If the code is very fast, the overhead is proportionally larger. If the Subvi takes a long time to complete, the overhead of parallelization is insignificant. It is often not worthwhile to parallelize the loops with a very simple and fast code.

  • LabVIEW parallel for loop and OpenMP

    Hello:

    It's just a curious post, I just learned about OpenMP and I found that OpenMP helps you to parallelize loops in c about the same way that you can use the loop For parallel in LabVIEW.

    The loop For Parallel LabVIEW is being implemented under the hood using OpenMP? Or is it just a coincidence?

    No, it is not implemented LabVIEW parallel for loop under the hood using OpenMP. You might be interested to read this article on modern developments in the LabVIEW compiler architecture. Specifically, in this case, it's the DFIR technology discussed here that facilitates parallel for loop transformations.

  • How to create parallel tasks using parallel for loops

    Hello

    I'm going to put in place a program that communicates with the six logical controllers and must read the status of the system every 100 Ms. we use OPC datasockets for this, and they appear a bit slow.

    I created a uniform method of comm. for all controllers, and now I find myself this method of programming six times to communicate with each system. I was wondering if it could be done more elegant using the parallel for loop, in which case I program an Exchange once and then six workers running simultaneously. Since a picture is clearer than a thousand words, what I'm asking is:

    Is it possible to replace something like

    by

    and that for performing these tasks in parallel loop (on different cores / in different threads)?

    I have configured the loop to create instances of the 8 to the compilation, so I would 2 surplus available when running instances if I find that I need an additional system.

    The benefits of the Show method in the second photo for me are:

    * takes less space

    * changes need be made only once

    * less blocks, son and other things makes it clearer what is happening.

    * flexibility of the actual number of tasks running (8 available runtime instances)

    * If multiple tasks are necessary, I need only update the maximum number of instances and recompile, i.e. no cutting and pasting necessary.

    Unfortunately, I don't have these available system yet, so there is no way to test this. Yet, I would like to know if the above works as I hope - unfortunately the help of labview is not quite clear to me on that.

    Best regards

    Frans

    Frans, the parallel for loop will work as expected in this situation. The six tasks will run simultaneously in different threads. What part of the aid could be made clearer?

  • Waiting for timeouts in parallel for loop

    Hello

    I am currently working on a project where I communicate with a number of devices over TCP. This happens at the same time, which is not a problem as long as does not change the number of devices. Now, I want to open my project to support the case with different numbers of hardware devices, which I want to make a loop (read the device of DB information in an array and iterate over all items).

    I read on a single loop parallel execution for, but it seems that the logical cores is a limiting factor for the number of alternative treatments. Unfortunately, I must also take into account delays in communication which translates as the waiting time for each iteration of the loop.

    As you can see I have this creates a lot of idle time that adds up quickly (running with 10 carrots 4 logic devices takes three times the delay to finish without the loop it would not delay time as all connections are pending at the same time.

    I hope someone can direct me to a solution.

    Thank you

    Move the reference VI opened in the first LOOP.

    You use the same reference for all instances.  So wait for asynchronous call will just see one of them finished and the results.  By placing the reference VI open inside your loop, you will have a different reference for each call of your VI.

  • parallel processing: for loop taking place

    Hallo,

    I have a loop 'for' runnin on this system: LabVIEW2009, windows7, intel i7.

    I wonder if and how I can tell to LabVIEW that he would be allowed to run different iterations of the loop at the same time (concurrently) on my processor with 8 cores.

    Now, it will execute the next iteration when it ended the previous, even one so is there no dependencies in iterations.

    I want to give a 'ownership' of the loop, which means that it can be "unfolded" for parallel execution.

    Thank you

  • For loop creates 1 d data table

    Hello, I am building the circuit below, and I'm running into a lot of problems with the loop, creating a table 1 d of data from certain types of data such as the ERROR OUT and the VISA NAME of RESOURCE. I understand why it does this, but I only need the last value in the table (the value of the last iteration of the loop for). This is true for me for the error, resource name of visa, and I was thinking of using the Boolean value that indicates when the for loop.

    Is there a simple way to extract the last value in the table 1-D so that it is correct to pass along trails, VISA and ERROR type?

    You actually create a block diagram, not a circuit.  A circuit is an electrical system including devices and wires.

    If you right-click on the tunnel and choose disable indexing, then you get the value of the last iteration rather than a 1 d table.

  • Creating tables in a nested for loop

    Hi all.

    I was stuck in this problem for quite a while now and I still don't know how to continue. Some outside the entrance would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm doing the following:

    -Take an array of numbers, to check if they are within a certain range (e.g. between 2 and 4)

    -Build two new arrays: one with all the numbers that are inside the beach and the other with the rest.

    An additional condition is that the amount and value of the range conditions will change (for example, it could be between 2 and 4 only / 2, 4 AND 6 and 7 according to the entry)

    To treat this, I created two nested for loops - one that goes on a table that contains conditions of the beach and inside that actually go and check if the values are in the range. I think I did that part successfully, but the next part is confusing to me - how to actually create the tables separated within two loops for?

    My apologies if I did not explain it well. Another method to support this problem is I want to translate following LabVIEW:

    Ranges of table / / [1 5 7 10] exodus-> This means we want to divide numbers based on those who are in (1,2) and (4.5) against those who are not

    Table of values / / [2 3 6 11 3]

    EndOperationDelegate table / / array of values within the range
    Table outValues / / Array of values out of range

    for m = 1:size (ranges)

    for n = 1:size (values)
    If (THE NUMBER IS on the INSIDE of EACH RANGE)
    EndOperationDelegate = [EndOperationDelegate NEWNUMBER]
    on the other
    outValues = [outValues NEWNUMBER]
    end

    end
    end

    Sounds easy enough, but it gets so chaotic with Labview that I don't know what to do. I have attached a reference image - insertion in the array function is not in fact add to the table, it creates a new table. How can I save that for when the nested for the ends of the loop?

    I have seen a few examples with shift registers which lie in a loop and I couldn't successfully that transfers in my block diagram.

    Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

  • 3D table organization fomr a 1 d array in a for loop

    Hello-

    I am currently using a program OR opening multiple files (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/818). As a side note, I noticed that the files are automatically organized by name once records are returned from the Subvi. Will be called BxCy where x is a number and y is a number to two digits (e.g., B2C34) and within each file, I load a 1 d table which I extracted the files, I am loading.

    I want to do is organize the output so it has the structure of

    Page C1

    Line B1 [(table 1 d)]

    Line B2 [(table 1 d)]

    ...

    Line Bn [(table 1 d)]

    Page C2

    Line B1 [(table 1 d)]

    Line B2 [(table 1 d)]

    ...

    Line Bn [(table 1 d)]

    and so on.

    My first question is that I'm not 100% sure that the file names will be organised by name in the lu multi-fichier VI so is there someone who can check it out? Second, even with what I would like to know if there are effective methods to achieve this. Should I just use two tables index to classify based on their number of anc C B? This seems to slow down and I saw on other positions the function array reshape could speed up the process but I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't have access to the structures of inplace (I don't know if I just forgot to install this module, or if it was not included in my subscription LabVIEW).

    The program that I joined is in LabVIEW 2009 SP1 and I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

    Thank you in advance!

    • You did not include the subVIs. Please do.
    • Never convert a path to a string, unless you do something specific OS. Use 'strip path' work on the name of the file as strings, then convert back to a path using "build path" if necessary.
    • To create a 3D tables 1 d array, you need two stacked FOR loops. Pages in the loop external and rows in the inner loop and outoindex in the output in loop tunnels. You will automatically get a 3D Board.
    • It might be much easier to use the "list of files" with a motif of "B * C *" for example. Is the number of the page always 1 and the numbers of two line numbers (padded with a zero not significant as appropriate)? In this case the sorting will be correct.
  • loop for doesn't loop in table built from worksheet

    I'm probably doing sonthing but really stupid...

    first I build and table of data in a worksheet (RefLookup)

    the spreadsheet contains 3 rows above the row is my label (getting by)

    the second row it my face value

    the third row is my minimum value.

    REF is my live stream of data to be searched.

    then, I put this in a loop for loop through the table until she finds that go the Ref data in the lie...

    Then I just stop the loop and the index of output value.

    This index value is the opportunity to review worksheet data and return the label for this index.

    from what I can understand the code should... work. but it does not go past the first itteration of the loop for

    any ideas?

    Please and thank you

    John

    You must set the comma separator, otherwise you get all the data. (read spreadsheet)

    You do this too complicated. Here is the equivalent code. I don't know that it can be much more simplified!

    You don't need the outside while loop. find once is enough.

    You probably want to add a "select" after the loop that selects NaN instead of the last value if nothing is found, based on the Boolean value.

  • Oracle Business Rule - Table of decision for loop

  • How to set a variable in a table to grid 'for' loop

    I'm afraid I'm stuck again!

    The next step in the animation I'm working on, is to set up a Boolean value, 'pierced = false', so that all instances of the attachMovie ("openCircle") have a Boolean "drilled = false' associated with them." Then when someone clicks on one of the instances of the attachMovie ("openCircle"), the Boolean value becomes "pierced = true', but only for that instance was clicked."

    What I've done is to set the (Boolean) variable (highlighted in bold below) in the two 'for' loops through the table in the grid, but it returns an undefined value. Do I need to configure a separate table? (see code below):-

    set up the grid for solid table

    spacing: var number = 5.75;

    Var CDL: number = 20; the number of columns in the grid

    var rows: number = 20; number of grid lines

    var leftMargin:Number = 154;

    var topMargin:Number = 169;

    depth: var number = 100; starting point for the depth

    var drilled: Boolean;

    for (i = 1; I < = lines; i ++) {}

    for (j = 1; j < = cols; j ++) {}

    drilled [rows, cols] = false;

    trace (drilled);

    current = attachMovie ("openCircle_mc", "openCircle_mc" + i + "_" + j, depth ++);

    Current._x = leftMargin + ((i-1) * (spacing + current._width));

    Current._y = topMargin + ((j-1) * (spacing + current._height));

    Current.Row = i;

    Current.Col = j;

    Current.Oil = Math.floor (Math.random () * 1.1);  about 1/10 objects have oil = 1, 9/10 oil = 0

    Open the circle initially invisible, visible on rollover

    Current._alpha = 0;

    {current.onRelease = function ()}

    trace (this.row + "" + this.col);

    current.drilled = true;

    }

    current.onRollOver = function() {}

    This ._alpha = 100;

    }

    current.onRollOut = function() {}

    This ._alpha = 0;

    }

    }

    }

    I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.

    Then, create a two dimension table named drilled so that it exists when you try to fill...

    var drilled: Array = new Array (new Array();

    There might be a problem that you're missing setting the values of the [0, #] components of the table - paintings begin with an index of 0.

    Perhaps an example will help:

    This makes a loop on my table size (in this case, long of 5 elements).  On the edge of the loop for which resembles [] brackets, indicates that it is auto-indexé.  The loop should go through each item one at a time (1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5).
