![]() (Note: I also ran the tests with a deepcopy of the input for each test created with py() to make sure that I wasn't gaining advantages of already-processed data, but the timings still went down, not up, for the 100 -> 1000 rows case). So at 1000 rows, vectorising takes mere milliseconds still and is taking less time because we are now hitting optimisations used for larger datasets, but using the time taken to run df.apply() on those 1000 rows has ballooned to over 4 seconds. %timeit martijnpieters_vectorised(df1000) If you increase the count to 1000 the numbers the difference becomes much more apparent: df1000 = random_world_coords(1000) That's 100 items, and vectorising is about 4.5 times faster. # Generate the column names, grouped by componentĬomps = ( for a in 'DMS')ĭms_to_dec(*(df.values for c in comps))Īt which point you can test how fast either on is with IPython's %timeit or another benchmarking library: df100 = random_world_coords(100) Return d + sign * m / 60 + sign * s / 3600 Sign = np.where(np.signbit(d), np.ones_like(d) * -1.0, np.ones_like(d)) # and positive zero are distinguished correctly. However, if it was preserved as np.NZERO, this function will Note that for -0d Mm Ss inputs, the sign might be have been lost! Handles signs only present on the D column, transparently. """convert d, m, s coordinates to decimalsĬan be used as a vectorised operation on whole numpy arrays, Using geopandas, numpy and shapely: import geopandas as gpdįrom shapely.geometry import asMultiPoint I'm sticking to the same convention here, input is a Pandas DataFrame df that contains columns lonD, lonM, lonS, latD, latM and latS. You can do this by using vectorised calculations (where numpy applies calculations to all rows using very fast arythmatic operations directly on the machine representation of the data, and not on the Python reprentations). And you'd want to do this fast and efficiently. So, given that you have degrees, minutes and seconds, you need to convert those values to decimal coordinates to feed to geopandas. Note that you don't have to create a dataframe here, a GeoSeries is enough if all you want is conversion. The project accepts CRS strings to define what coordinate system to use when interpreting points (of which the geodetic datum is a component) using a coordinate system database such as to find the EPSG codes for NAD83 and NAD27, gives us EPSG:4269 and EPSG:4267, respectively. ![]() That said, geopandas can be used to transform between different geodetic datums. They are simply a standardised way of specifying what coordinate system to use and what point of reference the coordinate system is anchored to. On the other hand, NAD83 and NAD27 are not geodetic datums or geodetic systems, and such systems are notation agnostic. GeoPy wants to work with decimal values, so you do need to fold the arc-seconds and arc-minutes into the degrees value. The decimal is another, which combines the degrees value with the arc minutes and arc seconds into a single number an arc minute is 1/60th of a degree, and an arc second is 1/3600th of a degree, so you can do a little math to sum the values together (preserving the sign of the degree). Just to be explicit: the D, M, S coordinate notation is just that, a different way to note latitude and longitude coordinates, where D, M, and S stand for degrees, (arc) minutes and (arc) seconds. If not, the sign might be lost and points just south of the equator or west of the zero-th meridian will appear as just north or east instead. ![]() If that's the case and you are lucky the DataFrame was created using numpy floats, then "-0.0" has probably been stored as numpy.NZERO (negative zero), in which case we can still recover the sign using numpy.signbit(). Moreover, we need to account for the fact that DMS columns may only have included the - sign on the D column. Because I ran into this too, and found the df.apply() approach too slow, I switched to using a MultiPoint() object and used vectorised operations, then turning that single object into Point()s with list(). The MRSP is 449 e for the standard version, 519 e with USB.Ī matching power supply is naturally included.Ĭolorful caps for all knobs are available on request. Multiclock will be available from May 2015. So yes, it’ll be great to evaluate these claims in performance. I can also tell you E-RM are obsessive about quality and sustainable production. And it could change the way machines in your studio arrive in time. 449€ is a hefty price, but … it could be the last sync/clock device you ever buy. A “MIDI Map & Merge Matrix” lets you route and merge MIDI notes and control messages over MIDI or USB to particular outputs.Į-RM is a neighbor of mine – in Berlin and this week at Messe – so I’m curious to give this a try. I can really imagine dialing in something more life-like and human with this. ![]() That can allow you to fine-tune sync or even create your own grooves. You can tweak timing on everything – each channel has two knobs for shifting and shuffling. But unfortunately I cant find it anymore. This is all fine and well, but I think it’s the adjustment that makes this interesting. Posts: 3 Joined: Mon 8:28 pm Differences to E-RM Midiclock by gelbton » Mon 8:31 pm Hi Simon The Midronome really looks great I got an ad displayed on Facebook where you mentioned the advantages over the E-rm midiclock. Or, of course, the multiclock – like the midiclock+ before it – can simply be your stable clock source for everything else. If you really must use a USB MIDI connection, fine – that works. You can use clock signals from analog modular gear. So you can use MIDI or DIN (from more reliable MIDI gear that isn’t a computer, that is). You still retain the versatility to use what you want. That’s my explanation, not E-RM’s, so I hope they approve. Remember when you could use a phone to tell what time it was? A lady’s voice would intone from the other end, “the time is now… 7:45 and 33 seconds pm.” Think of a MIDI stream as giving you those time indications a little irregularly – not quite on the right tick – and an audio stream giving times that are always exactly correct, many times per second (44,100 times per second for a regular CD audio setting, for instance). That allows you to use a computer as a clock source without some of the nastiness that can often ensue. Whereas MIDI and MIDI over USB from a computer are inherently susceptible to jitter, E-RM claims that the audio synchronization gives them sample-to-sample accuracy. The most important thing to know about the multiclock is that it takes this obsession with getting sync right directly to your computer’s audio card. Just announced, the multiclock is the follow-up to the midiclock+, the clever MIDI sync box introduced by Berlin’s boutique E-RM Erfindungsbüro back in 2012. But the E-RM multiclock claims to do it even with a computer as the clock source – without jittering. Though weird, I can get along with recording audio that's on the grid in this way - with the ERM offset at +1ms.We’ve seen boxes that claim to sync everything you have to everything else you have. This setup seems to work fine for all synths in the studio apart from the Pro 3. The reasoning behind this setup is that it allows us to record midi or audio for each synth in the studio. an audio channel that has it's input set as the output (post mixer) of the midi channel. This is where the bar long midi note is triggered.Ģ. a midi channel with an external instrument plugin, these generally have 7-8ms of latency set. I've tried power cycling with the USB cable plugged in, still can't get it working.Ībleton set up: Delay compensation and reduced latency while monitoring are turned on. I understand there is a bug with USB midi in this version that we're waiting to be resolved. I've tried to get it working with USB midi to sanity check but I can't seem to get it working. Pro 3 has latest firmware installed: 1.1.0. For it to be "in time" it must show each note of the arpeggiator as being on the grid in the resultant audio recording. This is weird.īy "in time" I mean that the audio signal that gets recorded in Ableton is on the grid when I use a basic patch with arpeggiator and trigger it with a bar long midi note from Ableton. The Pro 3 needs an offset of "+1ms" to be set on the ERM in order for it to be in time. There are other synths also clocked by the ERM and all have an offset between +30 to +49 as is to be expected. There is a Prophet 08 also being clocked by the same ERM multiclock at the same time, in order to be in time it's offset is set at +49ms. ![]() This means that we would expect any synth clocked by the ERM to need an offset set on the ERM of around +50ms or a little less in order to account for latency. The ERM is sent an audio signal from Ableton as it's master clock, on a track that has a -50ms delay. The Pro 3 is being clocked via midi din from an ERM multiclock. I've looked through the previous posts here and nothing seems to cover it, so I've created a detailed bug report. Firstly, I love this synth! However I am having some weird sync issues with the Pro 3. If I'm in a 2+, the dealer only shows me more ships in that range however, if I'm in a Tier 1, but have a 2+ in my hangar, I still get some lower-tier ships at the dealer's options. She comes from a previously unmet alien species and brings special expertise to the crew, unlocking additional details on the star map for completionists and jump nodes for shortcuts through space, namely: Fast Travel.

Everspace 2 launched into Early Access back in January this year, after being delayed to avoid clashing with Cyberpunk 2077. Lack of organic banter and conversations while exploring leads to tedium. I hope there will be other interesting companions, but. The game is already pretty draining and having good characters die reduces my desire to keep going.

They are very general, but should be in the right ballpark. Keep in mind that this number will be affected by your CPU speed, CPU cache size, RAM speed, number of cores you are using, whether hyperthreading or SMT is enabled on your CPU, etc. To determine GPU utilization you can use Hardware Info 64 ( ), GPU-Z ( ) or any other software you prefer.īelow I have put some directions together for how to run multiple tasks on a GPU and some general guidelines for how many concurrent tasks are likely required to get full utilization on some common GPUs. Once it reaches ~85% I will begin running 3 concurrent tasks. For owners of any Nvidia Turing (RTX 20-series) or Volta cards, the utilization issue has existed for a week or more already, and we are fast approaching the time when GTX 1080ti and other high performance cards will be affected.Įight days ago I switched to 2 concurrent tasks on my RTX 2070 and utilization is now hovering around 98%, but slowly beginning to decrease. If you would like to keep GPU utilization high, you will need to run more than 1 task per GPU at some point. The reason for this is that each task requires all of the prime numbers in an ever-growing range to be calculated, and this calculation can only be performed by the CPU.Īs we approach the end of the project the CPU time for each task will continue to increase, and once it reaches the run time for a given task, you will notice that your GPU utilization begins to decrease. I am sure that many of you have noticed that the ratio of CPU time to run time for each task has been steadily increasing.
