In Reply to: RE: No Opinion Yet... Need to Understand How NonPagedPoolSize "works" posted by gjwAudio on December 07, 2011 at 00:23:31
I used halves since that is all I could think to do!
It seems even after dividing Serge's number by four the tracks have more segments than they did at zero.
It did not make a difference in segments (that is an easy to see difference)when I went from half to a quarter.
I was thinking that since the "full" number would not allow the track to be loaded at all that it might be working in an opposite way from what had been assumed. Then again, I was assuming what the assumption was.
I listened for a couple of hours with the quarter number and it sounded good. I cannot honestly say it sounded any better. I think my first impression was because I had the volume turned up too high!
No question we need to find out just what this does.
I thought Serge was thinking it was a way to either implement AWE or make the AWE "lock" larger. But the fact that my machine which does have AWE working also says "0" leads one to believe that this is not part of AWE,
UNLESS
I have noticed that when connecting my music computer SSD to my other computer than when I load the hive I will have entries on the music SSD's registry that have nothing to do with the "music" registry - it will show the drives in my other machine and things like that so there is not a complete divorce between the two registries.
When I change the registry on the music SSD it will not affect the other machine, so that is not a concern (unless, as I have two times now I lose track of where I am and move from the loaded hive to the "other" machines registry (very stupid)). But this could be one of those situations where the registry is reflecting the host computer's registry and not the registry's hive you have loaded. Excuse the fact that I do not know how to speak the computer vernacular. I hope this makes some sense.
This may be an instance where I am not able to truly see the setting my music computer is using when active.

Rick! I have (it seems) found the way to make awe work, so will risk these settings on cmp machine myself. The working machine works Much Faster! The fact that more segmenting occurs shows, that,
1. Cplay works as described
2. awe, even after all deletions, works
3. There is smth fishy here, that needs to be uncovered (about nonpaged pool size), because it affects the sq.Generally, there is a madman's dream in my head to achieve the following:
1. Make as much (if not all) clocks in the system work in unison as possible
2. Make awe create large pages' size so that locked pages would be few and the cpu would have to make shorter excursions to them and back and that bigger chunks of the song would fit in.
3. Exclude everything possible from the process above.
4. Create a program or a process or just a command line to constantly assign affinity to our cmp-cplay process to a DIFFERENT processor, that's why acpi multicore/multiprocessor (though it affects current stability) installation is needed (remember cics saying that even one core would enable multiple threads? Yeah, but he didn't say of affinity, and many of us tried it manually.)
AND WHEN CICS IS BACK, we'll have to try to persuade him to get back to all the cue loaded into memory, but not just into memory, but in a NonPaged Pool.

You must understand, that I am fogwalking as I am not a computer man. I read read read read, try to make my assumptions on the level of my poor ken and try, try, try. All I ask for is more and more feedback. Your feedback is like a thread of Ariadna that must get us out of the labyrinth.

I have a similar problem with registry tweaking via a host computer. It worked fine for awhile then because of some mishap I made (exitting regedit w/o unloading hive 1st or doing what you did) I now only change my host registry and not the ssd registry with this method. This is why
I keep trying to make the Mihaylov routine work ... but unsucessfully so far.

I was pointing out how one has to think about what they are seeing. Sometimes it is (on some entries) showing you what the host machine has installed. Some places it would show both the music computer AND my host computer devices connected.
When I have had a problem it was caused by my paying too little attention and deleting away like a madman!!!!
Have had to reinstall WINDOWS twice. Now to learn to make an image of the other machines OS!!!!
You can reload windows from a prior date from the windows start button on bottom left of xp screen, all programs-> system -> restore or something like that.
