[L2Ork-dev] Big patch takes forever to load

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Andras,

 

Can you try one more thing:

 

Start with only a fraction of your patch being included and see if it opens.
Then add a bit more from the original patch (or simply cut less) and do the
same thing, and keep trying a couple times until the system starts hanging.
This way you can try to filter the potential culprit (if any) or determine
the size at which tkpath fails to draw/hangs.

 

Many thanks!

 

Best wishes,

 

Ico

Andras,

 

I haven’t forgotten about your request—it is still on my TODO list. It is
just that here at Virginia Tech we’re less than 2 weeks away from a grand
opening of a new $100M building that will house (among other things)
Institute I am heavily involved in.

 

Congrats!

 

As a result, I’ve been rather busy with other things. Rest assured, I will
try to look into this asap. In the meantime, what would be very helpful is
if you would please generate a list of all objects in the patch so that we
can possibly narrow down where the problem stems from. What you’ve started
doing (removing tof and mixed objects) is a great start. I have a nagging
suspicion something in that patch trips up the GUI and sends an illegal
command that makes GUI unresponsive. Finding out what that is will greatly
help in identifying the solution. I would go as far as renaming the extra/
folder and seeing if that fixes things. If it does, then it is definitely
one of the 3rd party externals.

 

I guess I could generate a list of objects from the source files using some
sed/awk wizardry, but unfortunately I'm not that good at it so I'll postpone
this until it eventually seems unavoidable.

I have, though, renamed the whole extra/ folder and tried to open the patch
once again. Minutes and minutes of 100% CPU (alternating between cores)
without an ending, that is the result. It seems to me I just have too many
objects for the current SVG implementation.
 

 

Once latter part of November rolls around, I should have a bit more time to
look into this. Hope this helps!

 

 

Thanks,

András

Hi Ivica,

I'm very interested in the recent developments involving tkzync and I can't
wait to see pd-l2ork in its full zoomable, opengl glory!

The recent introduction of SVG drawing of object, however, posed a huge
problem for me: my big patch (already posted here,
http://ubuntuone.com/0RrKroD4ucd2iBVJaxnL78) just never finishes to load.
This means I cannot play music unless I revert to an older version of
pd-l2ork.

While originally I thought that the problem was caused by unaccelerated
objects, removing them (by renaming the extra/tof and extra/miXed folders)
doesn't seem to solve anything.

So at this point I'm asking for your kind advice. I would like to make use
of recent pd-l2ork developments but I'm blocked by the speed drop that came
with SVG rendering (I guess).

Thanks,


 

András
