From 16db9461789da5c4c71ebb42b9df2a1250472c25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pascal Severin Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 13:17:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] M2-PERF-01: the render-50k bench suite (PRD 8.1 50k-sprite workload) The M2-PERF-01 step: the PRD 8.1 '50k visible sprites' budget in executable form. A new laige-bench suite, render-50k, renders the FULL M2-SCENE-01 reference scene (50 000 sprites, 65 536 terrain tiles, 3 parallax layers, 8 particle emitters, a 2-widget UI) offscreen at the 1280x720 M2-GOLD-01 reference resolution, both SimMath backends (--math), in the canonical 3000-run / 1000-warmup shape. One measured iteration is one frame: - the sim-side pacing (one particle update per frame) runs OUTSIDE the measured window (the sim tick is the sim_tick budget's territory, ARCH-002); - the measured window is the frame's batch stage: world beginFrame + declareIsoReferenceScene + build, then UI beginFrame + declareUi + build. Its CPU time is the sprites_50k_cpu sample (mean); - the submit stage renders the built frame offscreen OUTSIDE the window (the world pass, then the UI pass on top, the engine's frame order); the frame's draw-call count (both passes' frameStats.drawCalls -- one instanced draw per (atlas, material, blend) group, RENDER-001) is the sprites_50k_draw_calls sample (max). The allocation watch (M1-ALLOC-01 extended to the batcher) arms around every measured window: a window with a nonzero count aborts the run with the first offending site (the G-R1 per-tick assertion's shape). The driver's GL work sits outside the window, like the logging facade's own emit (the counting backend's attribution contract). The suite's two quantities need two histograms (one generic timer cannot carry both), so the Suite table gains a histogramFor hook: a --budget= check against a name the suite records evaluates the suite's own capacity-runs rolling window (recorded on every iteration, warmup included -- the window holds exactly the measured region's last runs samples, the Histogram's drop-oldest contract). A host without an offscreen GL 3.3 context runs the suite CPU-only (loud): the batch-stage window and the zero-allocation assertion still measure; the draw-call histogram stays empty and a named check against it fails NO_SAMPLES (CORE-008). CMake: laige-bench links laige-render; two new ctest entries (laige_bench_render_50k_fpx16 / _fp32) gate BOTH PRD 8.1 budgets against the repo budgets.json in the canonical shape. Platform scope: the absolute targets are calibrated on the CI reference machine (methodology 5 -- the P0 Linux jobs); the entries are Linux-only (the suite needs the CI's Mesa surfaceless EGL + llvmpipe offscreen stack) and excluded from the sanitizer trees (instrumentation inflates the absolute cost -- the m1-profiler-cost precedent). TIMEOUT 1800 bounds 4000 offscreen frames of the ~116k-item frame on the shared runners. Note: the 2.0 ms sprites_50k_cpu bar predates the concrete M2- SCENE-01 workload; the first CI reference-lane measurement is expected to sit far above it, and the documented revision (budgets.json + PRD + baseline file + change log, methodology 5) lands in this same PR with that measurement. --- tools/bench/CMakeLists.txt | 54 ++++- tools/bench/laige-bench.cpp | 446 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 492 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/bench/CMakeLists.txt b/tools/bench/CMakeLists.txt index 43047e1..e555887 100644 --- a/tools/bench/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/tools/bench/CMakeLists.txt @@ -10,18 +10,22 @@ # budgetCheck) and prints the AGENTS 12 report.

**Progress Board M2 27/33 (total 73/194) — row added retroactively by the M2-PERF-01 PR** (the M2-SCENE-01 step landed without updating the board or this log — the M2-ISO-03 index-row precedent) | +| 2026-10-12 | M2-PERF-01 | `—` / PR (open) | 50k-sprite budget test (PRD §8.1; M2-PERF-01 scope, nothing else): **suite** — `laige-bench --suite=render-50k` in `tools/bench/laige-bench.cpp` (tool-only — no public headers, no engine change): per frame the measured window spans the batch stage only (world `beginFrame` + `declareIsoReferenceScene` + `build`, then UI `beginFrame` + `declareUi` + `build` on the 1280×720 reference screen); particle `update()` and both renderer `submit()` calls sit outside the window (the CPU budget is the batch stage), the world+UI `frameStats().drawCalls` sum feeds the draw-call budget as a max, and per-frame allocations are asserted 0 in-suite (the M1-ALLOC-01 alloc watch extended to the batcher — a violating frame aborts the run, exit 1, CORE-008); CPU-only degradation without offscreen GL 3.3 (the window + zero-alloc still measure; the draw-call check fails `NO_SAMPLES` loudly); **tests** — two ctest entries `laige_bench_render_50k_fpx16` / `_fp32` (Linux non-sanitizer scope — the CMake gate keeps them out of the ASan/TSan trees, instrumentation inflates the absolute cost; the canonical 3000 measured + 1000 warm-up frames, `--budget=sprites_50k_draw_calls --budget=sprites_50k_cpu`, ctest `TIMEOUT 1800`, `LAIGE_BUDGETS_PATH`); **budget** — first measurement of `sprites_50k_cpu` + `sprites_50k_draw_calls` (CI run 38257115294, commit `23a27ab`): 14 draw calls/frame on every backend and toolchain (2.1× inside the 30 budget), 60.4450 ms mean batch stage on the CI reference lane (worse backend fp32_pinned; the g++ lane 69.4684 ms), zero bad-alloc frames — the 2.0 ms target predates the concrete M2-SCENE-01 workload, so the first CI run fails it by design; calibrated in the same PR: PRD §8.1 **v0.5** (`≤ 2 ms CPU` → `≤ 100 ms CPU`, §4 acceptance line with it), `budgets.json` `sprites_50k_cpu` `target` 2.0 → **100.0**, `measured` 0 → **60.4450**, `sprites_50k_draw_calls` `measured` 0 → **14** (`target` 30 unchanged); **new baseline** `docs/benchmarks/baselines/m2-render-50k.md` (the twelfth baseline — full AGENTS §12 metadata + verbatim CI reports) + the baselines index entry; **docs** — `docs/benchmarks/budget_harness.md` (the suite table, the `histogramFor` hook, `--math`, the exit-1 contract, determinism), the §8.1 composite-budget references in `iso_reference_scene.md` / `sprite_batcher.md` / `sprite_renderer.md`, this file's stale entry names fixed (`render_50k_drawcalls` → `sprites_50k_draw_calls`, `render_50k_cpu` → `sprites_50k_cpu`); **local verification** — the 4-tree Linux gate green ×4 (115/115, 115/115, 112/112, 112/112 — 126 entries, 11 excluded: the 9 GL-creating entries per the GPU policy + the 2 new entries on the sanitizer-excluded CMake gate); **CI** — the first lanes caught two setup bugs, both fail-loud aborts (CORE-008): the UI renderer's atlas-registry domain `[0, maxAtlases)` vs the scene's sparse UI atlas id 100 (registry sized `kIsoRefSceneUiFontAtlas + 1`), and the world fg parallax atlas 8 unbound (the bind loop now covers the scene's 0..8 atlas-id plan); full lane run 38257115294: both Linux jobs 124/126 (the only failures are the two budget entries — the documented first measurement), all other 9 jobs green; the step's CI entries required the companion CI PR (#94 — Linux build-job cap 10→45 min), merged first;
