New 15" retina macbook Problem

actually it works but just with 64bit max...

i think there is a major problem with the new processor...
made some comparisons between old and new macbook (both with 10.9)
running example patch phys.multiple.mesh
macbook 13" 2010 runs at 55 fps
new macbook 15" runs at 26 fps

So I did some more tryings, here what I found out so far:

kinect:
jit.freenect with 32bits only camera works (means no depth map possible), same with 64bits (it is also very slow) (help file use 106% of CPU!)
jit.openni with 32 bits works (camera, depth, skeleton) but it is very slow (help file use 106% of CPU!)

synapse we do not have yet, we will try asap

webcams:
isight just opens with 64bits, with 32 does not
ps3eye webcam with 32bits opens but freeze immediately the image, with 64 bits does not read it (probably the madam driver is not supporting the 64)

*UPDATE*
jit.net.send and jit.net.recv works with localhost but not between two computers (I try new macbook pro with new macbook pro, new macbook pro with old macbook with maverick installed, new macbook pro with old macbook pro with mountain lion)… the result is always an error message in the max window saying “CORRUPT DATA”

Also, the local host from the help file does not work in the one with mountain lion and in the old macbook with maverick installed

Thanks for the notes, please keep them coming.

We think we know what the problem is with jit.net.send and recv

Does it work if both the sender and receiver are running in the same architecture?

Cheers

no, i tried between 2 totally identical new 15" MacBooks and "corrupt data" message come up.
does anybody have any idea what could be the problem with these new haswell cpu?
and if it is solvable in short time? i know there is just been just an update for the maverick situation, but it's really depressing seeing a new computer running slower than an old 13" inch with no dedicated gpu

thanks for the answer

with haswell 15" macbook
i just did a quite simple msp patch and this is what i noticed:
in edit mode the situation get laggy
so i checked the cpu dsp monitor and it was at 1% sometimes 2%
then i checked activity monitor and in edito mode it shows 62% of cpu
in locked patch shows 30% of cpu
don't know if this can help
patch attached

@stefano

Architecture of the max app, not the same hardware. Trying running both applications in 32 bit.

Also - what are your Audio settings when playing your synth? I am not able to reproduce your results here with 44.1 k, 512/128 buffer settings.

And - how did you load applications on to this new hardware - was it a clean install of everything or did you use the migration assistant?

Cheers

ah sorry i thought cpu architecture and ya it works as you said, i just switch 32 to 64 100 times to check the grab problem and then did’t think that could be a problem for the send but of course…

about the audio patch:
i tried 44.1 512/128 and i get the same results (before i had 44.1 512/64)
this in 32 bits, when i switch to 64 it gets approx 4% faster in both lock and unlock situation
i tried the same patch with same settings on macbook 13" 2010 and the cpu% with locked patch was the same, but in edit mode the old 13” macbook is 8% faster!

the system is clear install... i have nearly nothing on it
strangely i don't remember max asking for downloading java but i can't say it for sure, maybe i just did it without paying attention, anyway i downloaded it and installed it separately.

about the isight grab problem: doesn’t work either on pure data but it does work in Processing and usual apple apps

thanks for the support!

ah and i did some benchmark test (using Xbench) and:
everything gave expected result besides quartz graphics test
in this test the 13" old macbook was surprisingly faster than the new machine, (new 15" macbook scored 159 and old 13" macbook scored 216)
