[Canceled] spring peformance increase

Post by Super Mario »

Proposal:
The basic idea behind this is to increase performance by better usage of multithreading, and general optimization. Without having game developers required to change their code in order to benefit any increase in general performance.

Current status:
Developer yet to be determined nor specification on how to increases spring performance.

Current pledges: total 0$


I would like to ask that this thread only for active spring devs, people who had pledge, and people who are interested in supporting this by considering pledging, providing tests, and contributing to the code.

Mods, feel free to update this post with information. :-)

Yeah, this is never going to work out in the first place.

Also, Anarchid, googlefrog I hope you don't mind that I interpret your request of fixing the engine to be like it was when it's 0.91, to general performance increases. If you disagree about, please replay and I will remove you from the pledged list if you request me to.

This is a pretty bad proposal (it's way too ambiguous). It needs to be more specific in exactly how much and what kind of performance should be improved. This can be discussed here, but looking at how these topics usually work, I have some doubts on that.

Also note that there has been certain discoveries regarding the effect of locks, which should put development engine on the same level as 91.x for windows people and thus I'm not sure those offers by GoogleFrog and Anarchid are still valid.

I already understand that when I wrote that post.I was planing to use this thread for discussing the specific details on this use. My knowledge of the engine is still rookish/noobish/fragile.

For me, having the spring use more than two core processors is my general basic idea of performance improvements.

(EDIT to make thread make sense):
I hope this won't be relevant because the "recent discoveries" will indeed be integrated into the engine *nudge* *nudge* :P .

I would consider this obsolete as the LockFreeLua branch achieves technical performance specs on par or better than 91.0 has for ZK benchmarks, even while those are using an older version of ZK that doesn't have many important optimizations such as raw move for UnitAI.

OK, will edit OP.

I will pledge double whatever Super Mario pledges to the bounty.

The future Engine bottleneck are physics, in particular unithpyhsics and particle physix. Lups has taken some particles and sfx to the gfx card allready.

So what would raise performance is to get all of unit animation and drawing allmost completely to the gfx card, which is partially problematic cause it would have to happen in sync.
The idea is to not look for what other software does for optimization (server software lives and breaths from good multithreading- which we got via threadpools by the way) but to look on the bottlenecks.

Even when this is more difficult.
