Clone Gates

Please note: this functionality requires FlowJo for Mac 9.3b5 or later.

Introduction

The use case for this feature came from our clinically inclined users who wanted one version of a gate propagated to different points in a hierarchy. This used to be done by one of two ways, neither of which is optimal in terms of workflow:

FJ10 in linux 64 bit = 30 million events / second

since our support to the linux savvy fj users has not been top-notch, I installed ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and will be spending some time in that testing & fixing FJ as needed. It's now my job to make FJ10 and linux bff's ;D

So, today i got my IDE running sun's java, put my honkin files on a ramdisk and got to testing:

above, i got nine 10.5M event files repainting the contents of the gate in the graph window. From moving the gate to update in the layout, 3s elapse for each gate movement. I have the "synch" attribute enabled so each gate movement in one sample is instantly propagated to the others & all 9 files are recalced. since this test involves manipulation of 9 x 10.5 M events, im claiming roughly 30M events /second performance on this 16 core 2.2GHz machine.

FJ on linux is not without problems, but at least i'll be working on resolving those. Performance wise this matches or exceeds win7 b64 bit, pending some more detailed testing.

beta testing license

Howdy all. 

Sorry to all the beta testers who got kicked off the license. Testing is closed. There was a bit of turnover in beta testing management, so things did not play out smoothly. We had to purge this license because we noticed a growth of signups of users who were not using the license for testing beta versions. 

Until we revamp the system to block license abuse the signup page for the beta license has also been closed. 

To make this up to our genuine beta testers,  we're discussing ways to reward beta testers in future beta campaigns. Details will follow as we get closer to FlowJo V10 beta testing

pre-emptive ib4 "when is FJ10 beta out" : I don't know, but when I do, you will too :)
