Actor Framework Performance Issues

[davidpcl]

Hi,

This is one of those horrible slightly wooly questions but hoping someone out there might have a nugget that might help me out.

I'm developing an Actor Framework that in itself is not hugely complicated, but makes use of many different and potentially quite weighty toolkits i.e. GPS, CAN, FM-RDS, Modulation, DAB etc.

This is not the first time I've used Actor, and is in fact the 4th project which I've chosen to use Actor on, with the other 3 all being of a similar magnitude of complexity and not having any problems.

In this case, I am having horrendous performance issues with the framework, to the point where making a change to the private data of a particular Actor causes a 5 minute wait before I can do anything else during which (I assume) the framework is being re-compiled, and it's obviously causing me significant productivity issues.

I've tried clearing the mutation history as described here without any significant improvement in performance:

has anyone else had similar issues, and if so did you find any solutions?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Here is a Knowledge Base article about LabVIEW compiler memory usage and performance which may be of some help.

I apparently don't have access to that document.  Is there an actual open address to that document and not one that just the NI AEs can get to?

Thanks for your reply Maria, sadly I've already tried much of what is in the article with no significant increase in performance.

Have also posted this question on the Actor Framework forum and got some interesting answers that I am trying out.
