Hallo, Frank Barknecht hat gesagt: // Frank Barknecht wrote:
Another test I did was in the opposite direction: I suspected, that maybe access to the array data is slowing things down. So I added another field to the mass-struct for color. I then colorized the movable mass on the house's roof. ;)
Okay, inspired by this I now tried some more things to optimize setting array data, with good results actually: CPU usage was about halfed (no real benchmark data).
In attached patch I replace the many "set" patches which always just set one single field in an array by abstractions, which use only one [set] inside to set fields in one go. Those are mass-setter.pd and link-setter.pd. They also carry the pmpd-objects inside, which makes the patches clearer.
This turns out to be a big performance boost.
Morale of story (so far): Use the least amount of [set] object, concentrate on bundling [set]. This was news to me, too, thanks for hitting my head at this problem. ;)
Ciao
