Hi,

I'm now looking at xperf stack trace, I would like to know the description of a specific function. For example, I don't know what does RtlUserThreadStart() function do. How to find such information. I tried to search the function name on MSDN, but nothing came up.

thank you!

Why are WPA results different when using Xperf vs. Logman collected ETL files?

$

Hi!

When using WPA to view custom ETW events, I see different results based on whether Xperf or Logman was used to collect the etl file. For Xperf collected ETL files, WPA correctly shows the provider and event names correctly. However, for Logman collected ETL files, only the provider GUID and Event IDs (as numbers) are shown.

For example,

 wevtutil im customdata.man

 xperf -start Custom -on CustomData

 pause

 xperf -stop Custom -d custom.etl

 wpa custom.etl

==> This allows WPA to show the correct text for provider and events

However,

 wevtutil im customdata.man

 logman start Custom -ets -p CustomData -o custom.etl

 pause

 logman stop Custom -ets

 wpa custom.etl

==> This only allows WPA to show the provider GUID and Event IDs as numbers.

What I'm trying to achieve is to use Logman collection and get the same wpa result as I see with Xperf. Is there a way, by either using different Logman command line options, or through some other post-processing of the ETL file to get the correct text representations for the provider and events?  I'm also curious as to what the difference is between the two.

Thanks!

Analysis of Abrasive wheels at Sapphire Alliance Cheyney Group Gibraltar Designs

Abrasive cutting wheels operate at very high speeds – low density regions within the wheel can be very hazardous.

CDD have combined Xray mass measurement with laser thickness measurement to accurately map the density across the parts. The system calculates the spot density of each point on a 0.5mm matrix across the entire surface of the wheel.  Up to half a million points are scanned on each wheel, as part on an in-line inspection system.

This is used as part of a process monitoring system to ensure even deposition of the abrasive material.

Slow network response

Just wanted some thoughts on this subject. We have a SharePoint and Epicore server located in the US, with no ability to run fibre to the site, and we are located in NW Alberta. Would it be advisable to install either a backup domain server or a replicated SharePoint and Epicore server, which can be configured to sync with the primary servers, when communication lines are not as busy. Because many people at this location are constantly accessing the servers in SE US, the whole internal network slows to a halt, and even accessing Google or MSN becomes dreadfully slow.

Thanks

System Interrupts, high CPU load

Hello!

I hope you can help me: My "System Interrupts" process is at 15%-30% all the time. It just disappears after restart for some time. My System is Windows 8.1, all updates, nothing special new HP x360 notebook.

I know i need xperf and WPA to analyse. I am at the point where i do the XPERF -on Diag...whatever stuff and load the .etl file into Windows performance analyzer.

But in every forum they say "look for the cpu interrupts tab" and go on with "summary view" and look for highest spikes.

Well...i dont see INTERRUPTS section anywhere! Just DPC / ISR usage/blabla... under CPU section.

can you help me? I am SOOO close, i just cant access the damn interrupts data!!! :((

I have the newest version of this program.


Thank YOU!

SQL 2005 on Windows 2012

Does anyone know of any tweaks that can be applied or should be applied to a Windows Server 2012 running SQL 2005. We have found the performance to be less than acceptable. First thinking it was network issue which may still be part of the equation but also queries and return response seem to be slower since upgrading the OS.

Windows 7 Memory Use

$

I gather from past questions that there is an issue with Windows 7 memory use, which relates to typically around 100 processes running.  To try to overcome problems with an image processing application (Serif PhotoPlus X7) randomly quitting, which Serif Tech Support claimed was due to my 4gb RAM laptop (Lenovo G780) not having enough available memory, I upped the physical memory to 8gb, but the processes seemed to have upped their use.   I'm looking at Task Manager Performance tab. The figure on the bottom right is 24% - is that figure the amount of physical memory available? Or the amount being used?  If it's use, and I have 76% available then I'm in good shape.  But if it's memory available, then I am only about 0.5gb better off after adding 4gb, and if so what can I do about that?

So can anybody help me how to fix this ?

Incompatible firewire card

$

I have just installed a PCIE 1394a Firewire card from Astrotek, that is supposed to be plug and play, to my PC. It didn't come with a Driver CD. A message comes up saying, "Your version of Microsoft Depreciated DLL components isn't compatible with this version of Windows".

I'm running Windows 8, but I think the firewire card is only compatible with Windows XP. Because, the Device Manager says the card is working properly, but my Ulead Video Suite won't display a picture or sound, although it does control my video camera with the on-screen display buttons.

Are there any downloads available to fix this problem, or any other solutions?

Xperf Symbols not loading (Xperf -on Windows 8.1)

$

I am running the new Windows Performance Toolkit (for Win 8.1) on Windows Server 2012 R2. When i run the command 

1.

"xperf -on  LATENCY+ALL_FAULTS+IPI -f trace.etl". 

the traces are collected, but the symbols do not load

However, when I run this command,

2.

xperf -start perf!GeneralProfiles.InSequentialFile
timeout 10
xperf -stop perf!GeneralProfiles.InSequentialFile trace2.etl

the similar traces are collected, and the symbols load correctly.

I know there is no registry/path problem with the symbols because they load in Case 2. Is there a problem with running "Xperf -on" on the new toolkit? Is there a way to get the symbols to load with the traces that I already have?

Thanks!

Silver Application Development - Setup test

Hello, We are starting a partnership process to reach Silver Application Development competency. I have been read the Windows ACK Whitepaper and I got some doubts about the validation process. In the section "Using the Windows ACK -> Configuring a test environment" is written: "You should perform all tests on a computer that is running a clean installation of Windows. Other than the application being tested, don't install additional applications or utilities such as antivirus software or a third-party firewall, because they may taint the outcome of the tests." I understand this text, but my application needs install two another applications in order to work, these applications are SQL Server 2005 Express and Crystal Reports support files. How could I proceed in this case? Best regards,

I've used the windows performance kit to find out what is causing my issue however it doesn't give me anything solid.
And i'm not really sure how to use the software, since it seems different to tutorials I've found on the internet.

I've had this high DPC issue for quite a while and i've been unable to solve it, i originally thought it was network to which i got a new network card which changed nothing.
All my drivers are upto date, i tried multiple versions of the drivers also.
I have a feeling it has something to do with the onboard sound, however i do not want to waste more money buying a sound card.

I can provide a log from windows performance kit if needed.

The sound issues are most apparent while browsing the web mostly using google chrome, however it does do it on large websites on other browsers also. 
During the period it feels like my pc is under heavy load, however it's only using like 5-10% cpu.

I do sometimes get mouse lag also, however this is rare. 

The top 3 drivers that cause high dpc is, usbport.sys, ndis.sys and netio.sys.


EDIT: Also it only starts to happen after the pc has been on for over a day, after a restart it's normally fine again for a while. My pc temps are low, 15-16c idle, 32c Load on cpu,
gpu is 31-36c idle, 50-60c load. 
I've done memory tests, i am not overclocking any of my hardware either.
