Performance of shared variables

[ChristianEC]

Hi,

In my application, I have to send a number of variables from a cRIO to my host.

The values are all integers.

What is the difference in performance between these two approaches:

Using a lot of scalar integer shared variables

Using a shared variable that holds an array and send all my values through this array.

I have not found any information which one is the better solution.

Thank you.

Hi Christian,

you can go both ways without a big difference in performance. I would personally prefer an array because you have one variable that you can work with which makes the diagram more readable.

There is a benchmark in this article that shows memory usage with different data types. They are all about the same.

I suppose that the variations in speed will be similar to that.

Hope this helps,

David

Hi, 

thx a lot, this is important information, so I have to check other parts of my VI that may produce performance issues 🙂
