Faster Animation Playback

Software

For regular performance testing we use perf and hotspot (https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot).

sudo apt install linux-tools-common linux-tools-generic

From hotspot I downloaded the AppImage from https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/releases/tag/v1.2.0 .

Test scenes

I used production anim scenes from cloud.blender.org For now I selected the following to warm up the project. Eventually other scenes will be selected as actual benchmark scenes.

Testing method

Compile blender using RelWithDebInfo This allows hotspot to show the detailed information. Run a scene and playback in the viewport for at least a minute. (set playback to nosync)

Hardware

These tests will be executed on different hardware with different CPUs and GPUs.
