problems with "cp" (reliant unix 5.43)
Hi,
I've got a problem with the copy - command (reliant unix 5.43). It appears to me rather difficult to copy large amount of data. A command like "cp *.jpg" is simply refused. Does anybody know something about such a kind of restriction? Something like ... only 256 files could be copied at once. Perhaps it stays in relation with the file-system. It still appears strange to me ...
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
We have a DEC Alpha 4100 Server with OSF1 Digital Unix 4.0.
Can any one tell me, if there are any commands on this Unix which are equivalent to "top" and "sar" on HP-UX or Sun Solaris ?
I am particularly interested in knowing the CPU Load, what process is running on which CPU, etc.

pdl::tips
TIPS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation TIPS(1)
NAME
PDL::Tips - Small tidbits of useful arcana. Programming tidbits and such.
SYNOPSIS
use PDL;
# Whatever happens here.
DESCRIPTION
This page documents useful idioms, helpful hints and tips for using Perl Data Language v2.0.
Help
Use "help help" within perldl or the "pdldoc" program from the command line for access to the PerlDL documentation. HTML versions of the
pages should also be present, in the HtmlDocs/PDL directory of the PDL distribution. To find this directory, try the following
perldl> foreach ( map{"$_/PDL/HtmlDocs"}@INC ) { p "$_
" if -d $_ }
Indexing idioms
The following code normalizes a bunch of vectors in $a. This works regardless of the dimensionality of $a.
$a /= $a->sumover->dummy(0);
What is actually happening?
If you want to see what the code is actually doing, try the command
PDL::Core::set_debugging(1);
somewhere. This spews out a huge amount of debug info for PDL into STDOUT. It is planned to eventually make this redirectable and the
messages selectable more accurately.
Many of the messages come from "Basic/Core/pdlapi.c" and you can look at the source to see what is going on.
If you have any extra time to work on these mechanisms, infrom the pdl-porters mailing list.
Memory savings
If you are running recursively something that selects certain indices of a large piddle, like
while(1) {
$inds = where($a>0);
$a = $a->index($inds);
$b = $b->index($inds);
func($b,$a);
}
If you are not writing to $b, it saves a lot of memory to change this to
$b = $b->index($inds)->sever;
The new method "sever" is a causes the write-back relation to be forgotten. It is like copy except it changes the original piddle and
returns it).
Of course, the probably best way to do the above is
$inds = xvals ($a->long);
while(1) {
$inds0 = where($a>0);
$inds1 = $inds->index($inds)->sever;
$a = $a0->index($inds1);
$b = $b->index($inds1)->sever;
func($b,$a);
}
which doesn't save all the temporary instances of $a in memory. See "mandel.pl" in the Demos subdirectory of the PerlDL distribution for
an example.
PP speed
If you really want to write speedy PP code, the first thing you need to do is to make sure that your C compiler is allowed to do the
necessary optimizations.
What this means is that you have to allow as many variables as possible to go into registers:
loop(a) %{
$a() += $COMP(foo_member) * $b()
%}
expands to
for(i=0; i<10000; i++) {
a[i] += __privtrans->foo_member * b[i];
}
is about the worst you can do, since your C compiler is not allowed to assume that "a" doesn't clobber "foo_member" which completely
inhibits vectorization. Instead, do
float foo = $COMP(foo_member);
loop(a) %{
$a() += foo * $b();
%}
This is not a restriction caused by PP but by ANSI C semantics. Of course, we could copy the struct into local varibles and back but that
could cause very strange things sometimes.
There are many other issues on organizing loops.
We are currently planning to make PP able to do fixed-width things as well as physical piddles (where looping over the first dimensions
would be cheaper as there are less distinct increments, which might make a difference on machines with a small number of registers).
