WINE Performance and Evernote 4.0 Windows Client
by Martin Packer Oct. 30, 2010

Oct. 30, 2010

Evernote are in the process of releasing 4.0 of their Windows client. This is completely rewritten to avoid the use of things that would stop it running under WINE. (This WASN'T their target - it was more about device drivers that had been problematic.) It runs reasonably well on the latest WINE. However it runs slowly (in a way it doesn't under "real" Windows) and also the autoupdater doesn't seem to work. Is anyone here willing to work with them and us to help it run faster? (I haven't got commitment from Evernote to make changes but I have got their attention now.) :-) Hopefully you can see this thread on the Evernote bulletin board: http://forum.evernote.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=18674 Thanks, Martin Martin Packer, Mainframe Performance Consultant, zChampion Worldwide Banking Center of Excellence, IBM +44-7802-245-584 email: martin_packer(a)uk.ibm.com Twitter / Facebook IDs: MartinPacker Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.

Linux kernel and game performance?
by Dan Kegel Oct. 29, 2010

Oct. 29, 2010

Hey folks, I've run into two web sites that claim that the Linux kernel causes performance problems in particular games (see below). Anybody know of others? And has anybody found concrete improvements in performance of a particular app (other than an audio workstation app) from using a realtime kernel? Thanks! - Dan First: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/World_of_Warcraft#Kernel_Timing_Bug says in a section dated September 2008: "If you are having problems with choppy video every 15 seconds or so, it is related to the kernel scheduler... to fix, add CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y to your kernel config, then set kernel.sched_features=21 kernel.sched_batch_wakeup_granularity_ns=25000000 kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns=4000000 in /etc/sysctl.cfg." Yikes. Any truth to that rumor? Second: http://hisouten.koumakan.jp/wiki/Linux_support#Resolved_bugs says "The game runs too slowly Symptoms: Instead of running at about 60-62fps, like the game is supposed to, it'll run closer to 53fps. This is not ideal. The bug: This is a Linux timing issue. The game runs a secondary timing thread with THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL, where it simply sleeps for 16ms and sends events to the main thread to tell it that a new frame is needed. On Linux the necessary timing accuracy is not available, so it wavers between 16ms and 20ms. The fix: I hacked around this by setting the timer period to 14ms. This leads to a steady 62-63fps. Which is close enough for use, really. For a constant 60fps turn on vsync in your video drivers."

Crash bug in Wine 1.3.5 in advapi32/service.c
by Damian Dixon Oct. 29, 2010

Oct. 29, 2010

Hi, In file dlls/advapi32/service.c, line 1135 a memory copy occurs, however the lpservicestatus is not checked to see if the value is NULL. This causes a crash in an application that has worked before under wine. My naive change is: if (ret && lpservicestatus) memcpy(lpservicestatus, &SvcStatusData, sizeof(SERVICE_STATUS)) ; Regards Damian

Oct. 29, 2010

Hi, I have installed my application under Wine 1.3.5 however with this version of Wine the registry is not updated by the installer. The registry entry ends up with the value '[INSTALL_DIR]'. Which is odd as it has worked before with older versions of Wine. I've not had the time to investigate but thought someone my be interested. Regards Damian

The processor swaps octets in the 32 bit halves of the type but not the halves themselves. On Linuxes compiled for FP emulator the above octet order is used. If soft floats are used the usual little endian is used on doubles too. Not sure what the WinCE ABI does.

I've never seen that happen before. I can't tell why my patch would > cause this. Ge? Your thoughts? Your patch contained a change to the configure script. Because of that, the bot rebuilt a lot of stuff. Rebuilding a lot of stuff takes time and caused the timeout limit to be exceeded. I've adjusted the build script to handle changes to configure better. Greg.

WineAPI wiki progress
by Max TenEyck Woodbury Oct. 28, 2010

Oct. 28, 2010

The repository summary pages exist but in most cases are incomplete. These pages can serve as a map of the repository contents. There are categories for translations. The category indexes should provide complete lists of identifiable translations for each language. There are summaries of all .spec files with sortable tables. There is a top level index for the APIs with seperate indexes for each initial letter. These are in alphabetical order so it should be possible to determine if Wine knows about a particular API. Indexes for C++ name spaces are scheduled to the next phase of implementation. There is ONE API description page at this point. If any of you would care to look at it and send me comments, I will read them. I will be setting up analytic scripts for the individual API pages after the name space indexes are in place. Max
