Activate nVIDIA Optimus under Java/OpenGL? -


i know it's asked several times no clear answer , filed bug nvidia. however, i'm still seeking better workaround starting javafx in prism-d3d engine (which allows subsequent opengl context created via nvidia).

environment:

  • nvidia 860m, driver 337.88, 340.43, 340.66 (quadro driver)
  • java 8u11 (tested x86/x64 & java 7 well)

tested , failed:

  • nvidia profile
  • nvoptimusenablement (custom launcher written in c)
  • calling opencl first (custom launcher written in c)
  • calling cuda first (jcuda, shows nvidia name opengl remains unaffected)

failed apis:

workarounds:

  • javafx8 d3d pipeline. glcontext created after d3d initialization work.

i nailed problem simple sample, calling realtech-vr opengl extension viewer (written in .net). inside there native "infogl.dll" reads gl information , apparently activates optimus right after oevclientinitialize.

the weirdness that, simplest console program calling infogl.dll works:

    win32.oevsetdriverversion("10.18.10.3621", 2176);     win32.oevclientloaddatabase(file.readalltext("c:\\program files (x86)\\realtech vr\\opengl extensions viewer 4.1\\extensions.xml"));     win32.oevclientinitialize();     (var = 0; <= 9; i++)     {         var tree = marshal.ptrtostringansi(win32.oevclientgetcapsandexttree(i));         console.writeline(tree.split('\n').first(ln => ln.contains("text_id=\"357\"")));     }     console.readline();

but same code in java jna doesn't:

    infogl.instance.oevsetdriverversion("10.18.10.3621", 2176);     string extxml = null;     try {         extxml = new string(                 files.readallbytes(paths.get("c:\\program files (x86)\\realtech vr\\opengl extensions viewer 4.1\\extensions.xml")),                 "utf-8");     } catch (ioexception e) {         throw new runtimeexception(e);     }     infogl.instance.oevclientloaddatabase(extxml);     infogl.instance.oevclientinitialize();     (int = 0; <= 9; i++)     {         string tree = infogl.instance.oevclientgetcapsandexttree(i);         system.out.println(arrays.aslist(tree.split("\\n")).first(ln -> ln.contains("text_id=\"357\"")));     }

and it's unrelated executable name "java" - have tried.

the javafx d3d solution unsuitable because reduces opengl fps half on amd radeon chips - assume must bad on nvidia ones, , that's why seek work es2 pipeline.

launching jvm .net apparently works (via jni4net). crashes in nvoglv64.dll @ end of javafx finalization through.

using net.sf.jni4net; using net.sf.jni4net.utils; ...      public static void main(string[] args)     {         initializeopengl();         var setup = new bridgesetup();         setup.addclasspath(@"c:\program files\java\jdk1.8.0_11\demo\javafx_samples\modena.jar");         setup.addjvmoption("-dprism.order=es2");         setup.addjvmoption("-dprism.verbose=true");         var env = bridge.createjvm(setup);         java.lang.system.@out.println("greetings c# java world!");         console.writeline("initializing...");         var klass = env.findclass("modena/modena");         console.writeline("finding main()...");         var mainmethodid = klass.getmethods().first(m => m.getname().equals("main")).getmethodid();         console.writeline("calling main()...");         env.callstaticvoidmethod(klass, mainmethodid, convertor.pararraystrongc2jstring(env, new string[0]));         console.writeline("ended, press enter");         console.readline();     }      protected static void initializeopengl()     {         win32.oevsetdriverversion("10.18.10.3621", 2176);         win32.oevclientloaddatabase(file.readalltext("c:\\program files (x86)\\realtech vr\\opengl extensions viewer 4.1\\extensions.xml"));         win32.oevclientinitialize();         (var = 0; <= 9; i++)         {             var tree = marshal.ptrtostringansi(win32.oevclientgetcapsandexttree(i));             console.writeline(tree.split('\n').first(ln => ln.contains("text_id=\"357\"")));         }         // optimus should activated now!     }

i have yet found real reason optimus activated under .net...... it's c/c++ of same code wouldn't work, since it's java version (jni calls)

ps: verified "opentk" (.net wrapper of opengl) cannot activate optimus either. i'm totally confused.....

javascript - Jquery show_hide, what to add in order to make the page scroll to the bottom of the hidden field once button is clicked -

i have button on website when clicked, reveals map. button can seen when page first loads up, when clicked, section holding map slides open , goes out of screen since page loads @ top (normal). want page scroll down bottom of div select when button pushed, if map out of screen. if page scrolled down, , clicks show map button, don't want page jump bottom of map. i tried figure out myself, no luck. seasoned jquery coders able give me guidance? many thanks! map = mapdiv.gmap3("get"); infobox = new infobox({ pixeloffset: new google.maps.size(-220, -310), closeboxurl: '', enableeventpropagation: true }); mapdiv.delegate('.infobox .close','click',function () { infobox.close(); }); jquery(".slidingdiv").hide(); jquery(".show_hide").show(); jquery('.show_hide').click(function(){ lastcenter=map.getcenter(); jquery(".slidingdiv&quo

python - Django-cities exits with "killed" -

i trying install django-cities on server 500mb ram. whenever run: manage.py cities the system exits saying killed. trying run: manage.py cities --import=country --force worked, guessing matter of running out of memory. to bypass, tried refer package local copy of cities' data file. still didn't work. any ideas on how can migrate data without having increase memory on server? based on suggestion comments, solved setting temporary swap file. if unfamiliar it, can follow these steps: set swap file touch /var/swap.img chmod 600 /var/swap.img set swap file size cd /var dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000 this create 1gb swap file. prepare disk image mkswap /var/swap.img activate swap memory swapon /var/swap.img once done, can turn off swap image: swapoff /var/swap.img more information on virtual memory , swap files can found here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-virtual-me

python - How to get a widget position inside it's layout in Kivy? -

i have gridlayout , added image widgets on after adding of images want draw rectangle in each image using canvas couldn't because don't know exact image widgets positions on gridlayout. code: http://paste.ofcode.org/3bdp9yhjrcrzmsztbu9hqp4 http://paste.ofcode.org/3az3gx4fxzr9dlhe2ami97c in last line of python code : rectangle(pos = (child.x - 2.4, child.y + 467), size = (70, 70)) how draw rectangle in child(my method not good^), also why gridlayout not coming in center after setting it's pos_hint = {"center_x" : .5}? if understand question right, try use such methods to_local() , to_parent() , to_widget() , to_window() . try substract position of gridlayout widgets' positions.
