| =====Compatibility and Performance Test===== | =====Compatibility and Performance Test===== |
| | <WRAP group> |
| | <WRAP column half> |
| | Before obtaining a GPU license, users are encouraged to test their computer for GPU compatibility and performance. |
| |
| | In ADCI, click menu 'Settings / GPU Settings' to open GPU Setting Dialog. Go to tab 'Test'. Click button 'Run Test'. |
| |
| =====GPU Setting Dialog===== | When the test finishes, results will be displayed in the dialog (figure to the right). Users can see if ADCI succeeds or fails to use GPU in the test, as well as a time comparison between using GPU and using CPU. |
| | |
| | For ADCI to benefit from GPU computing, the test has to be successful and the GPU should run faster than CPU in the test. |

| | =====Check GPU license===== |
| | Users can check if they have a GPU license on their dongle. |
| | |
| | In the GPU Settings Dialog, go to tab 'Permission and Settings'. In 'Users' GPU License', the 'GPU License' text box will say 'Authorized' if the attached dongle has a GPU license. Otherwise, it will say 'Unauthorized'. |

| Tab 'Test' provides a way to run quick test in ADCI to compare the speeds when GPU is used and when GPU is not used. Users can test their GPU here if they have any concern before obtaining a GPU license from Cytognomix Inc. The test does not require a GPU license on users' dongle. | Tab 'Test' provides a quick test in ADCI to compare the speeds when GPU is used and when GPU is not used.

| Tab 'Permission and Settings' displays GPU configurations in ADCI, as well as whether a GPU license exists on the current dongle. It also has a checkbox for users to enable/disable GPU usage in ADCI. Enabling the checkbox will not enable GPU acceleration if no GPU license exists on the dongle. We suggest users keep GPU enabled unless they want to intentionally measure processing time without using GPU. | Tab 'Permission and Settings' displays GPU configurations in ADCI, as well as whether a GPU license exists on the current dongle.
