AutoIT or Windows - Internal Resources like CPU / Memory

Good Morning AutoIT Geniuses!  :sorcerer:

Maybe this question is answered somewhere already... but I'm looking to ramp up the priority or "speed" of my exe's.

So, I've been experimenting and I don't see a huge increase in completion regardless of the processor or memory I use.

Sure, if I increase the memory I don't run out of memory, but if I increase memory - things relatively stay the same... why is that?

In another scenario for instance, I put the exe on a Dell server w/ 24 GB of ram and several quad core Xeon cpu's and the time to execute was relatively the same...

Oh, and the CPU never spiked or went above 5%... even after I stepped up it's priority. >_<

That seemed impossible - so I'm asking - is AutoIT mostly responsible for system resources used or is it on Windows? I used WIndows 7 x64 and Windows Server 2012.

Clueless as to what the guts are behind AutoIT and how Windows hands the exe's resources or how AutoIT "tells" Windows how to handle it's resources.

This day in age, we have quad cores +++ and then some... so this app should be screaming fast - it's not like I'm playing Crysis in 8K - haha, lol.

:laser:

Thanks for moving my topic but I typically would never tread anywhere near the dev chat... not my territory at all, but fitting nonetheless. Thanks.

Needs multi-threading support and address reservations - the best Autoit can do is change a thread/executable priority by it's 'Nice' level.

Well, it's definitely not Windows. =) AutoIt was never built with the intention to be fast. It is built to be flexible, portable and convenient for a particular use case. That doesn't mean automatically AutoIt is to blame for your speed problem, but it's not exactly helping you there either.

The speed of your program depends on what you're doing in your AutoIt code. Perhaps you're going about solving your problem very inefficiently and you can improve that. In order of us to help with that, you will have to share some more details about what exactly it is that you're doing.

If you've definitely ruled out that your program is simply inefficient, you can consider offloading harder tasks into a AutoIt loadable dll written in a language such as C++. It's also a consideration to write everything in another language, which won't solve your efficiency problem, but might make it less of a problem. If you're not already familiar in another language ideal for this purpose, I wouldn't recommend this as a potential starting point.

      Retriving the number of pictures within a Windows ToolbarWindow32 - (Moved)
      By MiKa666
      Hi all,
      I'm developing a tool for exploratively testing another software. For that I wanna cover all the GUI functionality from that software and verify everything works as intended. But now I've a problem which I couldnt solve so far.
      One thing that software I'm testing does, is to load up either a single picture or a series of pictures. Depending on how much pictures got loaded, further actions will be proceeded...
      This loaded pictures are schon within a ToolbarWindow and they're clickable. What I need to know is, how much pictures are in this ToolbarWindow...
      Can anybody provide me a tip on how to achive this?
      Would be amazing!!
      BR,
      Mic

      DllStructCreate initialization of memory
      By SteveJM
      When I use DllStructCreate() to reserve a chunk of memory I would like to know if I can rely on that memory being initialized to zero. Experience suggests that it is, but I have been searching to try and find a definitive statement anywhere that this is the case. I apologise if I have missed somewhere. Part of the reason for this question is so that my next search (after my personal memory has dimmed) should yield a link to this post, hopefully with an answer.
      A number of DLLs I use have structs where a few parts have to be explicitly set and other parts are reserved with the instruction that they must be set to zero. Because DllStructCreate() appears to zero-initialise the memory, I tend to forget to do it explicitly and everything seems to work. I am wondering whether I have been lucky and am storing up trouble for myself. It seems likely that the OS has been asked for zeroed memory, but without a promise in the documentation for DllStructCreate(),  perhaps that could change? Perhaps the developers wish to reserve the right to change their minds?

      au3 script for IE:- how to identify the form object - (Moved)
      By Deshanur
      Am trying to automate injecting credential on the login form for all kind of Web application for IE. I know how to identify the form name by viewing the source code and using the method - _IEFormGetObjByName($ie, $form_Name).
      I would like to know how to identify or get the form object for the web app where there is no form name tag for example below, for the is I have used - _IEFormGetCollection($ie, 0) to get the form object.
      My Question is does it work for all kind of application "_IEFormGetCollection($ie, 0)" how to identify Index value? is it always 0? is there any better solution?
      The final solution am looking for is find out form object, get the username, password field and inject credential and submit the form.
      How to find out index value? for the forms which does not have form name field.
      $login_form = _IEFormGetCollection($ie, 0) $email_field = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_UserName) $pass_field = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_password) $login_button = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_submitbutton) _IEFormElementSetValue($email_field, $CmdLine[2]) _IEFormElementSetValue($pass_field, $CmdLine[3]) ControlSend($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]","{Enter}") OR This works fine if the form has form name. $login_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($ie, $form_Name) $email_field = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_UserName) $pass_field = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_password) $login_button = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_submitbutton) _IEFormElementSetValue($email_field, $CmdLine[2]) _IEFormElementSetValue($pass_field, $CmdLine[3]) ControlSend($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]","{Enter}")
