nvidia/osx batch performance issues

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run my batch drawing/sprite rendering/Schedule_interval program on PowerPC 
OS X 10.5 Mac 
2. Run my batch drawing/sprite rendering/Schedule_interval program on new Intel 
Core 2 Duo 
10.5 Mac
3. See how performance on the newer, faster Intel cpu's becomes highly 
irregular, chunky and 
unusable for using Sprite rendering in Pyglet 1.1 beta 2 on current Macs sold 
today. =(
I would consider this a show stopper for anyone developing on current Macs, you 
might 
disagree. I'll have to show you in person most likely.
See how the old PowerPC G4 1.4GHz processor system handles the Sprite 
animations smoothly.

Note that general scheduler update code on the Intel Core 2 Duo will chunk 
wildly +/- up to 
20fps from the programmed update interval be it 30Hz or 60Hz in anything 
(printing to console, 
or just updating a FPS display in the OpenGL window.

Paste in the traceback or error message:
Alex, you will have to contact me as I might have to show you in person as you 
might not have 
both PowerPC and Intel equipped Macs to test this.

Possibly related to issue 310.  Please check against SVN head.  Failing that, 
try with environment variable 
PYGLET_GRAPHICS_VBO = 0.

Will try suggestions tonight.

As another side/interesting note,

This program running on the old PPC G4 Mac used ~18% CPU. 
This same program running on the new Intel Core 2 Duo Mac used ~28% CPU.

bash shell 1:
$python -O shadow.py

bash shell 2:
$top -o cpu

Same OS version. (OS X 10.5.3)
Same Python version. (Python.org Python 2.5.2)
Same pyglet version. (pyglet 1.1 beta 2)

Cheers,
Peter

Went home last night and tried the environment variable approach.

I made a mistake in my initial reporting, had the Intel CPU figures reported 
from memory and it was not 28% 
cpu, but 38% CPU that this program takes up running on that platform, while 18% 
CPU for the same program 
on the old PPC G4 CPU.

The environment variable PYGLET_GRAPHICS_VB) = 0 did not fix the stuttering 
Sprite animation issue.
It did, however reduce CPU use from 38% down to 32% CPU use.

Still a bit of a bummer compared to the old G4s CPU use.

Testing Results on the Intel Core 2 Duo / Nvidia computer:

Execution method:

Terminal Window#1
$top -o cpu

Terminal Window#2
@python -O shadow.py

Test #1.
Standard 1.1 Beta 2 release of pyglet

38% CPU utilisiation
Animation not smooth, stuttering

Test#2.
Standard 1.1 Beta 2 release of pyglet
and
$export PYGLET_GRAPHICS_VBO=0

32% CPU utilisation
Animation not smooth, stuttering

Test#3
Latest head (r2129) version of pyglet 1.1 Beta 2

19% CPU utilisation
Animation not smooth, stuttering

Great! CPU utilisation has dropped drastically, now to install OS X 10.5.4 
update 
and see if their is an affect on the CPU utilisation or smoothness of the 
animation.

Test #4
After 10.5.4 installed
and
Latest head (r2129) of pyglet 1.1 Beta 2

26% CPU utilisation
Animation not smooth, stuttering

*sigh*

Ok.  Let me know if you come across a workaround or smaller reproducible test 
(i.e.,
minimum code change to make smooth animation stuttering or vice-versa).

ALSA sound system.

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar  7 2008, 04:10:12) 
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2

Pyglet 1.1 Beta 2, source downloaded install, later tests will use the latest 
SVN
release.

In general I experience the stuttered, burbling sound issue as on other Linux 
system
reports. But have not found any crackling sound yet as I experienced with the 
pygame
framework.

In general the Linux systems/Ubuntu etc all now have compiz fusion graphics 
installed
and the special effects turned on. This causes some pyglet/opengl issues. I 
tested
both with default (On + medium effects setting in Ubuntu, and with all effects 
turned
off). Turned off, pyglet opened windows in proper locations as with Mac OS X 
but for
some reason it looks like the animations appear slower at the same frame-rate
settings than when running under OS X.

There still is the stuttering, non smooth sprite animation as with the Intel 
Core 2
Duo equipped Mac with NVidia chipset, but less pronounced, but not as silky 
smooth as
with the PowerPC equipped Mac mini computer.

Low CPU utilisaiton rates were observed similar to the PowerPC G4 equipped Mac 
mini
on its original runs under OS X 10.5.3.

The animation under Linux performs best with a pyglet clock tick cycle of 90Hz
(pyglet.clock.schedule_interval(update, 1/90.0)) or with pyglet taking as much
resources as it needed (pyglet.clock.schedule(update)). On Linux, the later was 
the
most efficient for speed and total CPU utilisation (Only using on average 20% 
of the
CPU, whereas the new Intel Core 2 Duo equipped Mac was chewing up 2-3 times the 
cpu
utilisaiton. (Maybe multi core CPUs and python in general is just not 
happening).

Pygelt 1.1 Beta 2 R2129 Installation results:

After installing latest head R2129 of pyglet.

Major reduction in CPU. The average of 20% CPU under 
pyglet.clock.schedule(update)
now became only 6% CPU utilisation.

Using pyglet.clock.schedule_interval(update, 1/60.0) resulted in no discernable 
CPU
utilisation difference, about 7% average utilisation

Using pyglet.clock.schedule_interval(update, 1/90.0) resulting in a more 
discrenable
CPU utilisation difference, about 9% average utilisation

All of the Compiz fusion enabled graphics glitches were still present, so 
disabling
them resulted in no real discernible difference in CPU utilisation figures but 
the
graphics glitches no longer appeared, and the window drew in the location and 
manner
similar as on OS X.

Looks like the best system so far is the Mac Mini with old PowerPC G4 CPU and 
ATI
RV280 graphics chip. Audio = perfect, Video/Animation = very smooth.

Brand new Intel Core 2 Duo CPU in Macbook Pro 17" laptop with nVidia 8600 
graphics
chip. Audio = perfect, Video/Animation = chunky/stuttering.

Best of the bunch for CPU utilisation but Worst of the bunch for audio + video
performance is Linux on Intel Celeron M system with Intel 915GM graphics chip.

I have to say that the pygame version of the shadow.zip program performed 
smoother on
more platforms, but the bad side was it used more CPU utilisation and had the 
SDL
dependencies.

*still in a quagmire*

I'm going to do a Rabbyt/pyglet hybrid port and a Rabbyt port when time 
permits, then
I can get a good picture of a single program with the same images handled on 4
different framework/combinations under 3 different computing CPU/Graphics 
Chip/OS
platforms.

The Pyglet only version is taking 42% CPU on new Intel Core 2 Duos,
only 18% CPU on old PowerPC G4's.

With optimisation turned on, the Pyglet only version takes 27% CPU utilisation 
with 
no improvement in the stuttering video enimation of the Sprites.

The Pyglet + Rabbyt version (with old school event loop) is taking only 6-8% 
with 
24% spikes on new Inte Core 2 Duos!

Not tested yet on PowerPC G4's. And only 6-7% CPU on Linux + Intel Celeron M 
CPUs.

One thing I cannot suss out is the 24% occasional spike when the very very 
large 
foreground sprites first move across the screen, after a second the CPU settles 
back 
down to 6-7% as the sprites move across the screen. This is not apparent on the 
Linux system which stays at a constant 6-7% CPU utilisation average.

However the Linux system is almost unusable with the Pyglet only version. The 
sound 
is stuttering, choppy and you cry out to shut it off for sanity (ALSA sound 
system 
on Ubuntu) and the video is stuttering (Gnome). On the Intel Core 2 Duo the 
sound is 
silky smooth and perfect (Apples implementation of OpenAL) but the video is 
choppy
and stuttering.

On the old Mac with PowerPC G4 cpu and old ATI RV280 GPU chip the sound is 
silky 
smooth and perfect (Apples implementation of OpenAL) and the video is silky 
smooth 
and perfect (ATI's/Apples OpenGL implementation).

As it stands if I were to write something I actually want people to play it 
would be 
Pyglet + Rabbyt combined. I have yet to figure out how to handle the sound and 
music 
without resorting to abandoning Linux users to the horrible bugs and sound 
quality 
in both their sound implementations (ALSA and OpenAL) on those platforms. I 
wouldn't 
play my games if I was the user on my Ubuntu system =(

File Attached showing the different code bases.

Audio was disabled on the Pyglet 1.1 Beta 2 R2129 test to see if it had an 
impact on 
the system's animation stuttering. No discernable difference was found by 
disabling 
audio.

I left audio disabled to give an comparison with the Pyglet + Rabbyt version of 
the 
same program which does not include sound.

above, the system would bomb out after transfering 820K of the file every time

I did not mention but the Pyglet + Rabbyt version is running silky smooth 
animation 
(very fast indeed!) on the Intel Core 2 Duo equipped Macbook Pro 17" with 
NVIDIA 
8600 GPU chipset laptop. No audio is tested as the Pyglet + Rabbyt version did 
not 
have it programmed into it.

The Pyglet only version is still stuttering badly in animations on the same 
exact 
laptop, but the audio is silky smooth =)

"python" run uses 50% CPU and now runs animations chunky and stuttering
"python -O" optimization run uses 29% CPU and now runs animations chunky and 
stuttering

shadow-noaudio.py (Pyglet 1.1 Beta 2 R2129)
"python" run uses 42% CPU and now runs animations chunky and stuttering
"python -O" optimization run uses 29% CPU and now runs animations chunky and 
stuttering

shadow-rabbyt-pyglet.py (Pyglet 1.1 Beta 2 R2129 + Rabby 0.8.1 with Rabbyt 
Sprite handling and old school 
event loop)
"python" run uses 7.4% average CPU with 24% spikes in CPU utilization. 
Animations silky smooth.
"python -O" optimization run shows no discernible improvement in CPU 
utilization than the run without optimization turned on.

Cheers for the additional run testing r1chardj0n3s, any little bit helps as we 
build 
a base of test runs.

So far the NVIDIA 8600 stuttering is horrific, unplayable. The Ubuntu Dell 
Latitutde 
D510 has some noticable stuttering (you would call it minor) and it is still 
playable but visually noticably different to the smoother animation of the 
Pyglet + 
Rabbyt Sprites + Old School Runtime loop version.

The biggest eye opener is the large difference in CPU utilisation using the 
Pyglet 
1.1 Beta 2 R2129 Sprites and Runtime Loop functions are having on systems. 
Close to 
50% cpu utilisation and some systems show no problem with animation, others get 
to 
the point of being unusable.

I have not delved into Pyglet 1.1 Beta 2 R2129 codebase to see how the runtime 
loop 
is implemented nor the Sprite handling. I have followed along with small demo 
programs in the guides/websites I have read and noticed all sorts of anomolies 
with 
some of the examples. One simply uses Pyglets new Frames Per Second label on 
the 
window. When I set 30Hz/30FPS for the loop limit, I noticed that Pyglet/FPS 
indicator would deviate above and below the 30Hz limit in a noticable 'S' 
curve/sinewave pattern as it tried to lock on / calibrate? itself to 30Hz.

I also noticed when wiggling the mouse rapidly over the Pyglet window that 
these 
deviations became smaller and it had an easier time locking onto the 30Hz 
figure I 
inputed into Pyglets timing loop. Maybe processing all those extra events 
helped it 
manage the deviations.

It is Beta still so thats ok, but I wouldn't have been happy if this was in 
final 
release as if it was my first time approaching pyglet I might get a bad taste 
in my 
mouth as a developer and pyglet needs all the good press it can get to help it 
grow 
and flourish.

Cheerio,
PN

One last upload.

Pygame finally released binaries for the Mac OS X platform for the latest 
release. Unfortunately it was a very 
large installation. Also it requires PyObjC 1.4 (even though it says for OS X 
10.4 on the pygame download 
page) on OS X 10.5 Leopard (even though Apple ships PyObjC 2.0 with 10.5) which 
adds another hefty 19MB 
of installation requirements just to get a Pygame program running on Mac OS X.

Now we have a Pyglet only, a Pygame only, and a Pyglet+Rabbyt version of the 
same program using the same 
graphic files, sound file, and sprite animation techniques to compare the cpu 
use, resource use, and 
animation quality and sound quality on any Platform/OS we wish to test.

Results:
o Pyglet+Rabbyt the winner at 6% CPU and silky smooth animations
o Pyglet in the middle at 18% CPU use and a tiny bit of animation stuttering
o Pygame using the most CPU use at 61% and a tiny bit of animation stuttering

Well I am convinced on where I'm spending my next projects development API time 
on.

Cheers,
PN

I'm closing this bug since it is rather old and we need a clean list to follow 
new issues. If you think this is still a problem, can you retest the problem 
with a recent version and add the issue again? Better yet, can you write test 
which illustrates it and/or a patch to fix it?
