Loading Dynamic Components in CakePHP

In this post we show an EASY (like our company name ) to load any component you want dynamically in cakePHP framework.

Simple example:

class AutosController extends AppController {

…

var $components = array();

…

// Load Dynamic Components

function __construct(){

$this->components = array(‘Component1′, ‘Component2’);

parent::__construct();

}

…

}

GraphicsMagick Perl Module, A better way for Graphics manipulation

How hard could it be to reach performance peaks? Even harder to reach customer performance satisfaction. If there is a performance peak, then you can theoretically achieve.. right? The question is how you practically assume you have reached one.

One of our recent challenges was to improve the performance of an existing image editor application. Users specify custom patterns to be applied on a large set of user images. This process was incredibly time consuming.

The existing system used a Java Interface for a GraphicsMagick command library. Performance profiling showed that the key factors in performance degradation were:

Launching a separate GraphicsMagick process for each image merging operation.
For each image processed a separate command execution is incurred.

A choice was taken to enhance the system by using a GraphicsMagick Perl Module and implementing the same functionality with Perl, which was much faster. A performance enhancement of 70% was achieved, due to the nature of Perl, as well as the reduction of process scaling factor.
