Interesting work, I just ran both the original and the D version and watched the CPU load and the page file size. The original is fast and mostly CPU bound (frequently 100%); page file was around 260MB The D version is rarely CPU bound, most times is in the range of 10% utilisation, however it is quite slow; the page file is at around 300MB. Since I expect the D version to be a straightforward adaptation of the (original C?) program, there must be a bottleneck in either your support library or possibly in the D compiler. It would be interesting to know where the problem is, and what causes the extra 40MB of memory utilisation. yaneurao sun-inet.or.jp wrote:glExcess is a famous visual demo used openGL. glExcess: http://www.glexcess.com/ I've ported glExcess into D. http://yaneurao.zive.net/yaneSDK4D/glexcess002.zip The latest version of 'glExcess into D' can download here: http://www.sun-inet.or.jp/~yaneurao/dlang/english.html (including source , opengl.d , glu.d , glut.d etc..) yaneurao.

same behaviour. You can run the test yourself; I changed the fullscreen.bat parameters to match the native resolution I used with the native GL Excess. You may want to do trace profiling. yaneurao sun-inet.or.jp wrote:The D version is rarely CPU bound, most times is in the range of 10% utilisation, however it is quite slow; the page file is at around 300MB.glexcess002.zip is a debug build because of D compiler's bug. so I change the code to avoid it. please try the latest version and give me a report again. http://yaneurao.zive.net/yaneSDK4D/glexcess003.zip yaneurao.

I think the difference to original version is the lack of timer/frameskipper/soundsystem. There FMOD had been the timer. -eye

this is awesome. This version performs at the same speed and cpu usage as the original. On closer inspection the page file usage is very similar. Man this is powerful stuff, as this is quite a hefty and resource hungry demo. It shows that even in its current alpha state the D compiler plays in the same league with production C/C++ compilers. And the binary is smaller, 65% of the original. yaneurao sun-inet.or.jp wrote:In article <btsmv8$1mf2$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Ilya Minkov says...I think the difference to original version is the lack of timer/frameskipper/soundsystem.

Wow thats great news! Very exciting! Thats a beautiful demo btw. What sort of benchmarks exist for D , that I could use in C++ also ?

In article <bttmo9$blh$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Cloud9 Virtual says...It shows that even in its current alpha state the D compiler plays in the same league with production C/C++ compilers.sure. D compiler is pretty good.And the binary is smaller, 65% of the original.since my 'glExcess into D' doesn't support sound and FPS(frames per second) display ,so it doesn't mean D compiler generate smaller binary than C/C++ compiler. by fairly judging , it is almost even. yaneurao.
