Data loading process is very slow using DIAdem 2017

[Daniel_Sebastian]

Hi everyone,

Some colleagues and I noticed that the data loading process in DIAdem 2017 is very slow. We internally use a tool developed in DIAdem 2014 to process some data which are loaded with MDF3 plugin. The size of all the files is around 8 gb and we have in total 288 files. Normally, it takes about 5 hours to process them with 2014 version but with the new one its around 26 hours (even more). We ran the tool on the same machine with the following properties: 32 bit, 4 gb RAM and processor core i7 vpro. 

Any suggestion concerning this is welcome,

Thanks

May I ask you to answer some questions:

• Is DIAdem 2014 still installed in parallel?
  If yes, does it still work faster or also slowed down?
• Is the MDF3 plugin updated in the meanwhile?
  Which version of the plugin is used?

Hello AndreasK,

The answers for your questions:

1. Yesterday only 2017 version was installed on the machine and it was loading data super slow. Today, we installed 2014 in parallel and the problem persists (of course just with 2017 version but not with 2014)

2. The latest version of the plugin is being used (MDF3) 1.4.06096

Thanks for your reply

Could you do us a favor and load a file using the following script in DIAEM 2014 and 2017.

The logfile/console would contain the loading time.

Is it possible to attach a screenshot of the DIAdem dataportal of DIAdem 2017 after loading the file.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Andreas
