How does NI-DAQmx take advantage of emerging PC technologies?
NI-DAQmx includes support for LabVIEW, which can take advantage of the increased processing power of multicore processor technology. LabVIEW is multithreaded and inherently parallel. When used with a multithreaded driver such as NI-DAQmx, the LabVIEW compiler automatically finds parallelisms in the code and assign them to run on separate processors to optimize operation. Along with LabVIEW, NI-DAQmx is now optimized for multicore systems. Originally, NI-DAQmx was introduced to provide a new easy-to-use, high-performance driver that would allow the next generation of data acquisition systems to keep pace with emerging PC technologies. One of the performance improvements of NI-DAQmx is multithreaded access. The ability to access the driver from multiple threads unblocks system bottlenecks and can greatly improve performance in DAQ applications. With the emergence of multicore PCs, NI-DAQmx now allows I/O tasks to execute in parallel on different cores through multithreaded operation. Add
