That's good :) The few seconds are because the CPE/CPM runs the CR in a separate thread than the AE, but the simple UIMA AS deplo

Re: Performance of CPE/CPM vs AS

Hi Marshall, Thanks for your reply. I should have included details of our machine. It has four CPUs each with 8 cores; here's the /proc/cpuinfo stanza for one of the cores: The machine has 64G RAM; I was running dstat at the same time as the AS pipeline, and it

Re: Performance of CPE/CPM vs AS

When looking at performance, it's important to get more details around the possibilities. For instance, is the machine your running on a multi-core machine (meaning it can run multiple threads at the same time, for increased performance), and if so, how many cores? The Intel i7 I think supports 8

Re: Performance of CPE/CPM vs AS

The CPE runs everything in the same process. UIMA AS could deploy this pipeline in one process and get the same performance as the CPE. Scaling out to multiple processes incurs overhead, which for UIMA AS essentially consists of CAS serialization and communication. Figure 5 on http://uima.apache.o

Performance of CPE/CPM vs AS

Thank you Jerry & Eddie for your responses to my previous questions. I appreciate the opportunity to learn. Based on a little testing, I'm starting to think that AS is not designed for performance-enhancing scale-out, but maybe rather for architectural clarity. I have a CPE that has a collecti
