GPSFS Utility Program

[FatesWebb]

just wanted to say thanks!! this tool made my 2gb map half the size, (it could have even made it 600 mb but I stuck with 1gb... Thanks!!!! it looks perfectly fine... I am going to use this on all my maps!!

How long did that take to process Fateswebb ?

[FatesWebb]

To be honest I don't know, I put it on the server, which has 4gb of ram, and a 2.8ghz zeon processor, and just let it run... didn't time it. but I would guess about 20 minutes to load, about 2 hours to analyze, and about 1.5 hour to compress...

4gb of ram, wtf that's amazing.

Hope MIB.42 can make his software faster for normal earth pc users Not everybody has a server in his home with that specs

GPSFS_util seldom uses more than 64MB ( as in megabyte ) memory!
It is simply CPU bound due to the compression works...

I work in a data center, actually 4 data centers, so I have access to lots of hardware. I loaded it on one of the server.

In September buys my brother a Quad Core system.
Will this speed up the compression or does it use only a single core ?

Since I only have a single core machine, I have no idea - just yet - on how to code for multi-cores... I'll have a quick look later...

Maybe you can use code from Wprime, a dualcore testing tool.

See www.wprime.net

I googled some things, i need to know which coding language you are using. I Guessed Python but found out that it was probably C++

See these links:

But remember this:

Why Doesn’t C++ Contain Built-In Support for Multithreading?

C++ does not contain any built-in support for multithreaded applications. Instead, it relies entirely upon the operating system to provide this feature. Given that both Java and C# provide built-in support for multithreading, it is natural to ask why this isn’t also the case for C++. The answers are efficiency, control, and the range of applications to which C++ is applied. Let’s examine each.

If you are coding in Visual Studio (2005) then read this:

Hope that helps a bit, maybe not :P

MIB.42 are you checking the bikini babes on vacation or ?

We thought you left this project !

When does the .3 version pop-up, with PNG support ?

Thanks !
