187.5 and 24,300 - or, Second Performance Update!


Dear shipmates,

Stick in your mind these two measurements: 187.5 and 24,300. They are the measurements of our "large benchmark bar" model with the current implementation and parameters of the spring relaxation algorithm in Floating Sandbox 1.17.5: bending is 187.5, and CPU time per-frame is 24,300μs. These are neatly explained in the second post of our series, which you may find at https://gabrielegiuseppini.wordpress.com/2023/04/23/adventures-with-mass-spring-networks-part-ii/.

These numbers are the starting point of our quest to improve performance and rigidity of the simulator. As we experiment with different algorithms and optimizations, any bending measurement lower than 187.5 or any CPU time lower than 24,300μs will signify an improvement for the upcoming Floating Sandbox 1.18.0 update.

You may track our progress with these improvements by following our blog series. Keep on eye on these numbers!

This Satuday we invite to watch another #speedpainting of our artist Daniel Faiad.

How great is this scene of #Pecaminosa?

Did you know that today is #InternationalJazzDay? 🎷😎

No? 😯 Well, we couldn't pass up this date!

And what better to celebrate this day than #Pecaminosa #OST? 🎷

Let us know what you think about it and have a great weekend!

"Thanks guys for endless hours of fun." 👍
