Hi, If there is only one core involved, and if you are really updating each PV every cycle, then currently each of your each of PV updates takes about 100 nsec
(3msec/60/470), which is only 125 clock cycle times. I suspect you aren’t updating every one – in my experience a record update takes a few microseconds per core, depending on the architecture). They key to this is the essence of your system design. If each of your 24000 PV’s have to be updated at 120 Hz, you can’t possibly do it on a single VME6100.
You either have to ensure they only do any processing when they change by a significant amount, or you need more processing power – either via additional CPUs, or maybe a front-end FPGA. You can’t do the impossible. Cheers, Nick Rees Principal Software Engineer Phone: +44 (0)1235-778430 Diamond Light Source Fax: +44 (0)1235-446713 From:

Hello all, i'm working lately on an EPICS machine, where the number of PVs is 470 at the moment and they need to be updated
regularly at 60Hz. The EPICS machine consists of the stuffs as: . VME6100 (Mototorla VME CPU @1.25GHz) . RTEMS . EPICS (base-R3-14-12) Currently all these updates for the 470 PVs is taken about 2-3.5 msec; which needs to be improved in a great
manner for my 'real' project with about 23,980 PVs, to be updated regularly at 120Hz, after all. Is here anyone who can give me some advice on this 'huge' improvement i need? Best Regards Young-Wuk KIM
