IRC log for #brlcad on 20130330

00:22.59 brlcad starseeker: I'd be surprised if it did, the focus was on the in-memory processing just manipulating the structs directly for now, not how we'd want to eventually specify them
00:25.20 brlcad it should be pretty easy to use the structures and exist test as-is, and just hook in a different solver by editing pcSolver.h
00:25.56 brlcad it's all in there iirc for a generic solver, could derive a new solver off that file
00:26.38 brlcad just a couple hundred lines, easy to understand, but ::solve( is where it all begins
01:00.32 Notify 03BRL-CAD Wiki:Joelzinhoo * 0 /wiki/User:Joelzinhoo:
01:37.54 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54981 brlcad/trunk/NEWS: richard fixed it up so you can run bot_merge on a plate-mode BoT (and presumably preserve the plate thickness and face mode)
02:01.08 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54982 (brlcad/trunk/CHANGES brlcad/trunk/include/raytrace.h): bump RT_DBNHASH up to the next power of two instead of 5120 and document the heck out of it as a deprecated interface. include memory usage calculations (64kb). the increase from 1024 should slow down all of the callers that manually iterate over the hash (prep, search, db open/lookup, push, tops, ls, ...) but probably not noticeably
02:01.10 Notify so -- more likely to slow lookups down iterating down bigger linked lists with big geometry (need to profile/test/compare).
02:03.46 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54983 brlcad/trunk/TODO: rework the database hash (but profile performance for impact)
02:09.46 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54984 brlcad/trunk/NEWS: richard fixed a nirt failure on windows (r54503) where it would fail if there was a very large number of objects being displayed. problem was due to fixed string array length which was truncating large object name lists
02:18.55 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54985 brlcad/trunk/src/libtclcad/tclcad_obj.c: quellage, set gpp fully so we don't access uninitialized elements
02:19.59 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54986 brlcad/trunk/src/librt/db_lookup.c: size_t makes more sense, ptrdiff_t semantically means something else.
03:03.52 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54987 brlcad/trunk/NEWS: Akshay Kashyap's GCI patch that implemented thread affinity for pthread linux systems is now integrated. it's showing a 5%-250% performance improvement in testing depending on how many cores and system activity. overall a nice boon to ray tracing performance.
03:06.44 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54988 brlcad/trunk/NEWS: implemented cpu affinity for mac, bsd, and windows systems. testing of linux showed a 5-250% performance improvement. mac and windows aren't likely to be that high but maybe (BSD likely). warrants performance testing on big smp configuration
03:07.03 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54989 brlcad/trunk/NEWS: Akshay Kashyap's GCI patch that implemented thread affinity for pthread linux systems is now integrated. it's showing a 5%-250% performance improvement in testing depending on how many cores and system activity. overall a nice boon to ray tracing performance.
03:09.55 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54990 brlcad/trunk/NEWS: jordi fixed a problem uninstalling on Fedora 18 related to temp directories listed in the brlcad.spec

15:43.22 cristina brlcad: yes, i have seen it
15:43.47 cristina i also found the commits that were made to adaptagrams where those procedures were eliminated and replaced with some others
15:44.06 brlcad okay, so it is just changes since you worked on it
15:44.09 brlcad cool
15:44.38 cristina yes, i will look into it
