Running Your Business By the Numbers
I am constantly amazed at how many print owners don't keep score of their business. Sure, they usually know what sales were last year and last month, but they don't have other numbers at hand which are the key to managing a profitable business.
We are past the days when sales will just grow by osmosis—not only is the general economy weak, but more importantly, the printing industry has changed dramatically. Our clients can still buy from us or they can do work in-house or order printing on the Internet.
If your sales or profits are down or flat, do you really know where to find out why? It's easy to blame the economy or our competitors, but how does that help improve the situation? By continuing to operate your business as you have, you will continue to trend in the same direction. Without keeping a scorecard, it is very difficult to figure out how to grow your sales or increase your profitability.
What numbers should you track? I have grouped them by the different aspects of your business.
Sales per month, sales year to date, plus comparisons by percent to the previous year. Most print owners know these numbers. Do you share them with your staff? Your employees like (and need) to know how you're doing, plus they can have a direct influence on improving these numbers.
Orders. Track incoming orders vs. your sales goals. In my company, we used to have a daily sales report that showed total orders for the day by salesperson, location, and CSR. We showed how the orders compared to both the company and personal sales goals per day, and if we were on target meet our sales goals. I am constantly amazed by how few printers establish solid sales goals and that even fewer share them with their staff.
Sales by sales center. Track your total sales by the sales type. Typical sales types are process color printing, one- and two-color offset printing, high speed black-and-white copying, color copying, bindery, mailing, graphics, signs and buyouts (you may even want to separate these into certain categories like four-color buyouts, business cards, invitations, rubber stamps, foil stamping, etc.). All of the major printing management programs make keeping track of these sales easy, although they do take some setup or modification on your part. Monitoring the sales in each category helps you see the trends, helps in pricing, and in deciding on future equipment and personnel needs.
New customers and their sales year to date. Without new customers being continually added, your business is doomed. A large majority of your marketing dollars should be spent in pursuit of bringing new customers into your business. This calculation is usually easy to do using your print management software. Growing printers bring in 15% or more in new customer sales. Good customers are not around forever, so you must always be prospecting for new ones.
How you got the new customers year to date by marketing category. Using the new customer list and their sales, list how you obtained the new customers. Use logical categories like Yellow Pages, direct mail, referrals, networking, outside sales, trade show, etc. Group the new customers by category and add up the sales per category. In another column, estimate what you spent on that category, year to date. The knowledge you get from this exercise will show you where you need to continue spending and where you should be cutting back.
Earnings per month, year to date, plus comparisons by percent to the previous year. These numbers will help you keep track of seasonal changes and trends and, most importantly, show you approximately where your breakeven is and how profitability goes up or down based on sales volume. I believe that a print owner should target at least a 10% return on the total sales, based on the risks of owning and operating a small business.
Payroll as a percent of sales per month, year to date, with comparison to last year. Include all payroll costs including benefits paid by the company, workers compensation, commissions, payroll taxes paid by the company, etc. Include a fair compensation for the owners if they work in the business. The number one reason why profits go up or down is the payroll costs. This is the most controllable cost a company has in the short term. Fixed costs cannot usually be trimmed quickly and cost of goods sold (COGS) is usually consistent as a percent of sales.
What is the ideal percentage? It depends on your business philosophy and what type of equipment you have. If you want to produce almost everything in-house, then it will be higher (with, hopefully, a lower COGS). If you have large presses (20" and up) or high-volume copiers (like Digimasters, DocuTechs, or iGens) then your percentage should be lower, as an employee can produce much more. My experience shows this usually ranges from 30% to 40% for shops with less than $10 million in sales.
Sales per Employee. This is a very popular measurement in industry studies for quick printers. I would caution you to use payroll as percent of sales as a better guide, but I would also use this number to help guide you in figuring out the best number of people to have employed. Part-time employees should be counted based on the how many hours they work (e.g.: 10 hours per week = 0.25 of an employee). Profit leaders in the industry have sales per employee over $125,000. Again, this number can be dangerous to use if you send out a high proportion of your work or you have very large production equipment because, in either case, your sales per employee should be very high compared to the industry average.
Cash Flow
Current ratio. Banks favor this ratio as a measure of your ability to pay your bills. It should be used by all print owners to monitor their cash flow. The ratio is simply calculated by dividing your current liabilities (accounts payable, amount of loans payable in the next 12 months, accrued expenses, etc.) into your current assets (cash in the bank, accounts receivable, inventory, work in process completed, etc.). This number should be more than 1.5. Anything over 2.0 is very healthy. If the number is over 3.0, you may want to look to find ways to take money out of the business or invest in more equipment or space.
Accounts receivable aging. Monthly, you should track your accounts receivables aging by current (under 30 days), 31-60 days, 61-90 days, and over 90 days. Note the percent of the total for each category. A healthy aging should show 90% of your A/R less than 60 days. Of course, there may be reasons in any given month for it to be different, but over time if you allow your over 60 days to be more than 10-20% of the total, you could be headed for danger, especially if sales dip for a few months.
Accounts receivable days outstanding. This number is tracked by many printers as it tells them how many sales days are your total receivables. It is based on average sales per day; e.g.: if sales are $1.1 million per year, that equates to $3,000 per day. If, for example, the A/R is $150,000, then you have 50 days outstanding. The larger this number is the better, but only if you have a small portion over 60 days outstanding. By tracking this number monthly, it will help predict cash flow for the coming month. If you do a lot of cash and carry business, this number should be low and probably will not be as useful as a measurement tool. Most printers, though, have their larger customers charge their jobs, therefore this number can be a great tool to measure cash flow.
Work in process. Record your total work in process at the start of the month. Compare this number to your sales goal for the month. Since we turn over most jobs within 30 days, the beginning work in process will help predict whether you will make sales goal for the month.
Value added. Value added is measured by adding your direct COGS and your production payroll and subtracting that number from your total sales. Then take that number and divide it into the sales to get the percent of sales value added represents. Direct COGS includes paper, inks, toners, copier click charges, plates, buyouts of jobs, etc. Production payroll costs should include the related payroll costs such as insurance, benefits, taxes paid, etc. Ideally, this number is more than 50%. The value added shows not only your production efficiency, but also has a profound effect on your bottom line.
Overtime. Track your overtime to make sure it correlates to sales. Too often, overtime is unwarranted or expected, regardless of the workload. Keep in mind that overtime can be very healthy and most businesses find that when overtime is monitored well, the most profitable months include substantial overtime. Usually, it's better to have overtime than to add employees—especially in the current uncertain economic conditions.
I am not going to suggest that you track all of these numbers, but I would start with the most relevant to your business. These key performance metrics are essential to managing your business. Our peer groups track most of these metrics and share them each month for comparison purposes. Many peer group members are now making educated decisions based on solid information.

my friend had a stupid issue - there was an option in bios that caused his pc to turn on in the middle of the night. simple as that.
Here's an interesting little problem. My PC switched itself on last night at 1:00:38 (according to the system logs), and I didn't tell/want it to! I'm running Kubuntu Feisty, and have an Abit AN-M2HD motherboard. Now the motherboard can be woken up via a PCI/PCIe card (I don't have any), via the LAN (my router was switched off), via a manual alarm set via the BIOS screen (I didn't do that), or setting an alarm using /proc/acpi/alarm.
I set it up last week to test this function out, via this link (and I also installed the MythTV front- and backends -- I'm thinking of turning it into a mediacentre, and wanted to check that the software end was working before I get any hardware), and all worked fine and dandy. I've been switching the PC off at the point at night, but I forgot last night, so this may turn out to be a nightly thing! (I'll check again tonight.) Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, or how I could check what exactly told it to power on? Any help would be appreciated.
my friend had a stupid issue - there was an option in bios that caused his pc to turn on in the middle of the night. simple as that.
There is an option in my BIOS to start on an alarm, and that is set to midnight, but the alarm is disabled by default -- so I don't think that could be it. I guess I'll have to wait up tonight and see what happens...
While I was in the BIOS I noticed that "Wake up by onchip LAN" was set to enabled, so I disabled it. My router was switched off, as I said, but maybe there was some electrical interference which tricked the PC into starting up. My network cable is quite long, and snakes all though the walls. Does this sound plausible? It seems a bit of a coincidence that it would happen at almost exactly 1 am though.
EDIT: Just tried setting the clock from BIOS to just before midnight (=1am with daylight savings), and waited to see what happened: nothing! So I'm not sure what was going on!

OK (just in case anyone is following this, or Googles for it when it happens to them) it looks like I've solved the problem now.
I had originally followed this guide. In order to get the computer to power on from a timer I had to make the changes to /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh documented at the previous link. The important line is this one:
This is used to set the "alarm" that powers on the computer, and it is deliberately positioned in the script so that it comes after the code that sets the clock (otherwise the alarm will be forgotten). The catch is that when the timer is unset it has a value of "2007-00-00 00:00:00" (as can be seen using "cat /proc/acpi/alarm") my motherboard interprets this as "please switch on at midnight" (or 1am, taking into account daylight savings). Consequently every time my computer is shutdown this script effectively tells it to power on again at midnight!Code:echo "$ACPITIME" > /proc/acpi/alarm && sleep 1 && echo "$ACPITIME" > /proc/acpi/alarm
So I made the following modification to /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh:
This only sets the alarm if it is not set to the off value of "2007-00-00 00:00:00".Code:if [ "$ACPITIME" != "2007-00-00 00:00:00" ]; then echo "$ACPITIME" > /proc/acpi/alarm && sleep 1 && echo "$ACPITIME" > /proc/acpi/alarm fi
I shall experiment more, but so far it seems to work correctly.
Your computer is watching dirty things and doesn't want you to know. There is no solution for this.
No, seriously, I never heard of this. But I guess it was fun when the computer suddenly booted :P
Also, my above code does not work properly. As it is it won't work after a timer has been set (after a timer has passed the day and month set to zero but not the time), or next year. The following should do this trick:
Code:if [ "`echo "$ACPITIME" | sed "s/20..-\(00-00\)\(.*\)/\1/"`" != "00-00" ]; then echo "$ACPITIME" > /proc/acpi/alarm && sleep 1 && echo "$ACPITIME" > /proc/acpi/alarm fi

Air Force report falls short in fighting sexual assaults, victim advocate says
Thursday - 11/15/2012, 12:11pm EST
The Air Force is calling for reform in a new report on sexual assault.
The proposal follows an internal investigation into a widespread scandal at Lackland Air Base near San Antonio. More than a dozen male instructors are accused of harassing, abusing and even raping nearly 50 female recruits.
As the service released its report yesterday, critics were quick to say it's not enough.
"After reading the report last night, I could see things from Gen. [Edward] Rice's perspective, but I also saw that there were some things lacking," said Jennifer Norris, a victim advocate at the Military Rape Crisis Center in Maine. "I could see how overall the lack of leadership put in the right places could have created that culture there, because there wasn't enough oversight of the military training instructors."
To address some of the concerns, the report recommended creating four-person training teams with at least one member being a female. The Air Force, however, doesn't have enough females certified to conduct training to fill all of those slots.
Even if those positions were filled and the recommendation was followed through on, Norris told The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp Thursday she was uncertain this would do enough to address the problem.
"It depends on whether or not this culture of fear is dealt with," she said. "If females are in positions where they're working with other males that seem to have closed the ranks and have decided that they're going to go their own way, the female is just going to get caught up in that again."
Another recommendation calling for a female to have a "buddy" at all times may also be unrealistic.
"In the military, that's not always possible," said Norris, who is a former member of the Maine Air National Guard. "I was one of the only women in my career field, which is satellite communications. So, if I don't have a buddy and I get raped, it's might fault because I didn't have a buddy?"
The report focused on a leadership gap existing at Lackland, in which one officer was in charge of up to 1,000 airmen and noncommissioned employees.
"The lack of oversight and the lack of supervision is going to do exactly what it did, which is it made the instructors — the ones that did abuse the system — feel powerful and feel like they could get away with what they got away with because they didn't have good oversight," Norris said.
The training period is the Air Force's opportunity to introduce recruits to the military, so it benefits the service to have the best of the best representing the Air Force, Norris said.
"The recommendation to have tech sargeants from now on be military training instructors is definitely a good one, because they're going to have more experience in the military," Norris said. "They're going to have more supervisory experience. They're going to be more cultured and more mature. So, yes, that does make sense as far as that goes. But, again, that doesn't mean, just because someone's a higher rank that's going to prevent a sexual assault."
Norris, who spent 14 years in the military and even considered becoming a training instructor for a brief time, found the report lacking in other areas as well.
First, the offending individuals at Lackland closed ranks and put themselves above the core values of the military — integrity, excellence and service before self.
"For those of us who take that seriously, if you come up against people like that who have closed ranks, you're already the odd man out," she said. "It's going to be hard to break down that cultural barrier of misogyny or 'We don't think women should be in the military' or 'You're only good for sexual objects.'"
While the report outlined punishments for offending airmen and officers, more needed to be done to change the military culture that was feeding the abuse and letting individuals think they could get away with bad behavior. "The punishments weren't made clear that 'Listen, you're going to lose your career if you do this," she said
Norris, who is a member of the advisory board Protect Our Defenders, said that group would continue to urge Congress take up the fight against sexual abuse in the military.
"We've had over 25-plus years, if not longer, of documented sexual assault and rape problems in the military," she said. "If they haven't fixed it by now, they are not going to. We have determined that they cannot police their own."

I, like most players, initially sided with Lilly in trying to resuscitate Larry. In retrospect, I may have made the wrong call.
Initially, I understood Kenny's concern about zombie Larry, but back at the motor inn, the injured body brought in did not turn undead until several minutes later. I thought I had time to save Larry. If I couldn't save him in say, two minutes, then I would advocate using the salt lick to crush his skull, but Kenny made a rushed judgment.
However, I may have been wrong. The injured body was being treated by Katjaa. She could have prolonged the person's life. So instead of minutes of trying to resuscitate Larry, I could have had only seconds.
I thought if Larry turned zombie that we would notice, but when Katjaa was attacked, she didn't say afterward that the skin around his eyeballs suddenly darkened, so he looked undead. The injured body became undead without Katjaa noticing despite her close examination of him.
Assume for the sake of argument, that the injured body, was untreated by Katjaa, and became undead in two minutes.
Does that mean everyone becomes undead in two minutes? Not necessarily. That could be the minimum time or maximum time for the dead-to-undead process to occur. You don't know. With that uncertainty, do you risk trying to resuscitate Larry? I reluctantly conclude Kenny made the right decision.
I could still be wrong because I am overlooking an important factor. If so, tell me.
Two unrelated points:
1. I will play the campaign with my initial decision of siding with Lilly.
2. Kenny is hard to please. I redid Episode 1 and Episode 2 to closer ally myself with Kenny, except for the meat locker dilemma. I helped rescue Duck, sided with Kenny in the pharmacy, gave Duck a snack, supported Kenny's boat plan, fed both Duck and Kenny at the motor inn, and mostly agreed with him on everything else, except the argument about Lilly being a dictator (that was exaggerated and I think she was right about being called a Nazi when survival became tougher). When walking to the abandoned car, I gave him the gentlest response: he fractured the group. Despite my near constant agreement with him, in the Long Road Ahead preview, he says I never listened to him. I don't hate Kenny, but if all my prior support isn't reciprocated in Episode 3, I may dump him as an ally.

Phoronix: Benchmarks Of The New ZFS On Linux: EXT4 Wins
At the end of March was a new release of ZFS On Linux, a kernel module implementation of the ZFS file-system for Linux, and it was declared ZFS On Linux is now ready for wide-scale deployments. With this release (ZOL/SPL v0.6.1), new benchmarks are being done to compare ZFS to popular Linux file-systems. In this article is a brief preview against EXT4...
Well, ryao won't be pleased with this article in the slightest.
Isn't this like comparing an armoured truck versus a sportscar with central locking?
From the ZFS on Linux FAQ:Additionally, it should be made clear that the ZFS on Linux implementation has not yet been optimized for performance. As the project matures we can expect performance to improve.
come on ! at least enable checksumming for everything (where possible) and some other fancy stuff for ext4
then it's at least partly comparable
raw performance-wise:
when backing up my 1.2-1.5 TB of data from an ext4 home-partition to ext4 vs. btrfs & ZFS
btrfs (with gzip-compression) takes about 2x the time than ext4 and approx. 1.5x the time of XFS (strangely xfs got slower with my latency-related tuning & ext4 got faster )
ZFS with lz4 and/or lzjb compression takes about 2.5x-3x the time of ext4
and that's only the raw transfer-time (8 minutes of ext4, approx. 30 minutes of ZFS) and neglecting all the data-safety wise features of e.g. ZFS:
- sha256 checksums (said to be the slowest compared the default hash algorithm, lower probability of hash collisions with e.g. deduplication)
- checksums on the whole filesystem - from file, metadata up to higher parts of the filesystem
- optional single-filesystem dedup & multi-copy functionality (didn't know about that until recently and will use it on critical study/personal files): e.g. copies=2
- there's several more - and I'm not really an expert in filesystems so just let your google-fu take you to wikipedia, etc. to find out more
looking forward to it
These tests are invalid. I suspect that they were cherry-picked, although I cannot prove that.
The tests were done with early Intel SSDs that are known to lie about their block size, presumeably without making any adjustment to ashift. ext4's assumption that everything is 4KB is advantageous here. In additional, 3 of the 4 tests appear to be read/write once tests, which do not reflect real world workloads. I say 3 of 4 because I have not read enough about dbench to say one way or another, although I can say that the single client configuration is likely the worst possible test possible.
Last edited by ryao; 04-18-2013 at 06:05 PM.
I find it a little bit useless to just compare ZFS against EXT4.
EXT4 is interesting as a point of comparison. But they don't even belong to the same generation.
EXT4 is basically EXT3 with extents added in (which in turn was EXT2 with journalling thrown in).
It an previous-gen filesystem.
Where as ZFS is a newer generation file system with a ton of features (with checksumming of nearly everything, data de-duplication, redundancy, on-the-fly compression, copy-on-write, subvolumes and snapshots, and a whole volume management).
It should be compared against similarly full-of-feature files system (btrfs more or less covers the same feature set).
ZFS, BTRFS and Co vs. EXT4 and Co are never going to run at the same speed, given that the first have much more features that require some CPu cycles. And they don't target the same audience.
The current benchmark would be like benchmarking FAT32 vs. a distributed cluster file system. Even if they are all filesystems, they don't have the same feature set at all and don't aim for the same users.

roposed $5.5 million convention center makes progress Koss Landing public meeting The proposed development of Koss Landing in Poison will be the topic of discussion at a public meeting on Tuesday, June 17, at the community center in St. Ignatius, beginning at 7 p.m. Newsstand price: $1 no The public got its first look late last month at what the proposed Koss Landing hotel-convention center might look like. What they saw were blueprints for a three-story, mostly rectangular-shaped building with 110 rooms, including 10 luxury suites, a lot of meeting-room space, a lounge and dining room, a ballroom, and two swimming pools. The blueprints were unveiled at two public meetings at the courthouse in Poison on May 27. Between 20 and 30 people stopped by to learn about the project's progress to date, and to ask questions of Ron Trosper, the Tribes' financial analyst, and Chris Levengood, a Kalispell businessman who'd like to build and operate the center. Among the concerns expressed at the meetings were revenue to the city and county in view of the Tribes' nontaxable status, imported construction crews, and the building's design, (Concludes on the next page) Come celebrate being sober CM o S3 in k3 § È rH S CM w w w m A "Celebration of Sobriety" is on the way, June 26-29, at the Arlee pow wow grounds, hosted by the Tribal Health's Alcohol Component. According to Alcohol Component director Anna Whiting, the fourth annual campout is designed to gather "people to recognize the affects of alcohol and chemical abuse on Indian people." She said they've planned the campout to coincide with the start of the pow wow season, focusing on the concept of celebrating sobriety. There were 1,500 participants at last year's Fort Peck encampment. The celebration will feature sessions catering to specific age groups, panels, A A and ALANON meetings, and entertainment.

Extended Protein Delivery
Big gains come from dedicated, routine workouts coupled with efficient protein delivery for proper recovery. Muscle Milk Gainer's Protein System is designed to deliver protein over an extended period of time. The Protein System includes fast acting whey proteins (Whey Concentrate, Hydrolysate and Isolate) and the slower acting casein proteins (Milk Protein Isolate, Calcium Sodium Caseinate and Micellar Casein). Together, this blend of premium protein is formulated to provide hours of gaining potential.
Burn Carbs, Utilize Protein
Carbs are burned for muscle energy so protein is "spared" for its primary job: muscle repair and growth. Additionally, carbs help activate the powerful growth promoting hormone insulin that helps tigger transport of the amino acids (from digested protein) into muscle tissues.
Put in the hard work and Muscle Milk Gainer will help close the nutrition gap so even the hardest gainer can make progress.

Black Diamond
Micro Stoppers
In Stock Product Number: 320
To ascend today's ultrathin gear-protected crack and face lines, micronuts are an essential tool. A full set of Black Diamond Micro Stoppers weigh less than a single quickdraw and opens up all sorts of protection possibilities. Micro Stoppers are made by shooting powdered iron into a die, and then melting copper into the iron. The copper fills into the iron's grain structure, making the nuts stronger.

Photoelectric power plants in Germany now beating 20 nuclear power plants
The German solar power plants now do have: 22 000 Megawatt in the peak time
and this means the solar power makes Expensive peak-power-plants obsolete in germany because germany do have a peak at 12 o clock.
LOL you beat yourself
""hot fusion" because it would make nuclear reactors highly efficient and low waste."
"Hot fusion isn't ready yet."
and this --->"Cold fusion will never exist period." is just wrong because there are Cold-fusion heating units to buy right now with a positive reputation.
in fact cold fusion is more "Ready" than hot fusion and nuclear
GE Chief: Nuclear 'hard to justify'
Thank you Mr. General Electric chief for telling some truth.(Financial Times) -- Nuclear power is so expensive compared with other forms of energy that it has become "really hard" to justify, according to the chief executive of General Electric, one of the world's largest suppliers of atomic equipment.

That's because being clueless, you come to that conclusion. Wasn't this already established?
Hopefully, you don't represent all Germans since it seems most from there come to a similar conclusion,
Why don't you quote the entire story and look at all the facts? Oh yeah, because you don't so you come to the quick conclusion that 'nuclear power' is mroe expensive or not as efficient or whatever incorrect conclusion you can think of as long as you can pretend these 'alternative' fuels are so much more cheaper. But, it's not a big surprise because Germans are fooled everyday and they don't seem to comprehend what's going on about anything (take a look at the EU/EURO swindle).
Anyway, one of the best answers or replies to that article was this one:
"GE accepts that it cant make a safe reliable cost effective nuclear power station, nor can it generate lots of profits from rolling out thousands of them. But it can make a profit out of installing cheap gas stations and a few very expensive windmills that don't make any difference to the fuel burn, but attract an effective subsidy three times the greatest subsidy that has ever been given to any nuclear industry, and which wont be decommissioned at all - just left to rust (as they are in California) when the subsidies vanish because the governments that engendered them are long gone."
That's right: the subsidies that the other energies get make them cheaper and more attractive. But, most of them need power backup and the REAL costs are not reported or the data is spun so people don't get the actual information. They might be safer (how much, though, is very debateable - especially if looking at wind power such as windmills) but more efficient and more cheaper, is highly debateable and most likely, the answer is 'they're not.'
No, I didn't quote the entire story, because it is illegal to do this. Well according to German law it's even forbidden to quote several sentences and the link.
The main reason why I didn't share the link above is, because I can only read: "Nuclear 'hard to justify', says GE chief By Pilita Clark, Environment Correspondent" on this link (either a FT abo is necessary, or this content is blocked for Germans).
I can troll as well: US Americans are fooled everyday, blablabla...

So, how is it to live in your police state? It sounds like your police state is on a more severe level than mine.
I think any rational person would realize I meant the 'whole story' as an expression. Forgive me, though, if I assumed your English was advanced enough. Yes, I meant, to indicate the 'whole story' as in 'here-is-the-link' so when you read the article, you can get somewhat of the whole story or at least a varied perspective. Taking something out of context is not always a good idea.
But, I didn't know that the German government doesn't allow html links or to post a website in a forum. Must be great to live in a democratic country like Germany with Herr Merkel at the helm trying to help all the other bankrupt EU countries (read: BANKERS) with German Euros or whatever they're printing up to bail them out with. :-) Maybe you'll wake up tomorrow.
I woke up every day so far, since I was born. I'm very grateful for itSo, how is it to live in your police state? It sounds like your police state is on a more severe level than mine.[...]Maybe you'll wake up tomorrow.
This thread is not about who is in the worst police state.

It does? blabla ten character limitThe Catalyst driver does support XvMC
Phoronix: PowerColor SCS3 Radeon HD 4650 512MB
Back in December we looked at the Sapphire Radeon HD 4650 512MB OC graphics card. This mid-range ATI graphics card had performed well under Linux and what separated it from the other Radeon HD 4650 graphics cards on the market was its factory overclock of 650/900MHz. While not factory overclocked beyond the RV730PRO specifications, PowerColor has the PowerColor SCS3 Radeon HD 4650 512MB, which instead offers passive cooling. Is this an ideal candidate for a Linux-based HTPC? In this article we are looking at the PowerColor SCS3 Radeon HD 4650 512MB.
It does? blabla ten character limitThe Catalyst driver does support XvMC
What the hell, 10 character limit?
I would have thought all graphics cards be able to do hd (h264) playback acceleration by now. Even older cards like x1600 series..?
Not sure I'm a fan of fanless GPU's either because usually they get very hot. So hot I could probably fry an egg on one.
Just to be clear, the issue here is how *much* of the playback work is being accelerated, not whether there is acceleration at all.
The open drivers currently accelerate scaling and colour space conversion, but not bitstream decode, IQ, IDCT or MC.
Last edited by bridgman; 03-26-2009 at 11:04 AM.
Well, BitStream is one of most awaiting features for me ;-) On windows it works well, actually it's kinda funny to watch 1080p movie + 3 or 4 shaders combined with 0%CPU/0-2%GPU on HD4850, when CPU does the same with 30-40% of usage ;-)
Bridgman, correct me if I'm wrong, but you get a better image quality using a GPU acceleration instead of a CPU acceleration. I have in mind that the more you use the GPU, the best picture you get (ride of artefact mpeg for example, better scaling, etc.)
Because the GPU can achieve far more of this specific calculation than a CPU could ever do.
Finally, the question is not so much acceleration (a quad core can do the job even for 1080i I guess) but rather for quality.
Isn't it ?
I'll also be very happy when it would be possible to encode videos using the GPU, as it's already possible to do with fglrx in Windows. I don't have windows, but even if my C2Q can handle my m2ts files conversions, I'll be more than happy to use my 4870 to convert my videos...
Whats the point behind this card? Specs are a bit weird. Is it meant for only HTPC? GPU seems pretty powerful. But 128-bit is a little low perhaps? And DDR2?? Surely surely not for gaming .
Most of the opportunities to improve image quality (filtering, fancy di-interlacing, post-filtering etc..) are in the render part of the pipe, which is already accelerated.
For the decode part of the pipe (the first part) you basically "follow the instructions" with very few opportunities to improve quality.
Most of the image enhancement stuff is shader-based, working on the fully decoded image, so it pretty much has to be in the "render" part of the pipe. You can think of the Xv API as the dividing line between "decode" and "render".
The order of the last few steps can change, and steps can be combined in a single shader :
bitstream <<- VDPAU, VA-API, XvBA start here (or lower)
IDCT <<- XvMC starts here
MC <<- or here
colour space conversion <<- Xv starts here
Decode acceleration is mostly about reducing CPU utilization and power consumption. Render acceleration does as much or more to reduce CPU utilization, but there are also opportunities to improve image quality. Scaling and MC usually put the biggest load on the CPU.
All of the steps from MC down are great candidates for processing with shaders. Most of the earlier steps (from IQ on down) can also be done on shaders but dainty, dedicated hardware can usually do the same work with less power consumption.
Last edited by bridgman; 03-26-2009 at 01:40 PM.
In terms of steps, I guess it's 4 out of 9 or 44%. In terms of CPU it's probably about the same or maybe a bit lower -- MC and scaling are the biggest CPU hogs.
The relative CPU utilization in the different stages changes a fair amount depending on the encoder and the encoding parameters that were used.
