Does RT ETS support dual-processors, dual-core, or HT?

[carlson]

I have a specific question regarding the RT ETS operating system.  I need to know if it will take advantage of dual 
processors, dual-core technology, or hyper-threading technology.  I am trying to build a vision computer as powerful 
as possible, but I won't spend the money to get a dual-processor computer if the OS will not utilize it.

Hello Carlson,

Currently, ETS does not take advantage of any type of dual CPU system, whether it be dual-core or dual processor. Therefore, while ETS should work on these systems, it will not use both cores/processors.

NI is always researching new technologies such as dual cores/processors and how they can be integrated into the real-time platform.

Best regards,

As a follow up question:

Can the RTX operating system utilize dual-core or dual-processors since it is running in Windows and prempting Windows tasks with RT tasks?

My goal here is to do image processing (centroiding of a spot) at 1 kHz.  I forsee the need for a great deal of processing power.  Perhaps a single Pentium 4 chip will do the job, but I would like to be on the overkill side.  This is why I am trying to utilize dual-proc and dual-core technologies for my RT application.

Thanks,
Lane Carlson

When using Windows and RTX, you can assign RTX to one processor and Windows to the other. Currently, NI doesn't support image acquisition hardware or software on RTX.

Saludos mi nombre es Johana y leí un mensaje tuyo de hace mucho tiempo en el que le aclarabas una duda a alguien acerca de la adquisición de datos por medio de la tarjeta de sonido usando el Labview, ya yo tengo el VI de adquisición de datos, y logro graficar las señales, lo que me ocurre es que solo me grafica por la entrada del MIC y además de esto mezcla los dos canales. Yo necesito utilizar la entrada de línea (line-in), pero no sé si deba efectuar algún tipo de configuración adicional para poder hacerlo o que mi VI debería hacerlo automáticamente y sin  problemas????

Agradecería que me respondieras, de antemano gracias!!!. Espero una respuesta positiva

Hola Johana,

El VI que utilizas es un ejemplo o escrito por ti? Qué versión de LabVIEW utilizas?

Saludos,
