Request for testing Compiler settings - gid15 - 01-15-2011

Hi!

this is a request to Beta testers being able to compile Jpcsp by themselves.
Could you please try different compiler settings based on r1950: change the value in jpcsp.Allegrex.compiler.CompilerContext.java, line 83
Code:
private int methodMaxInstructions = 3000;
This value determines the size of the Java methods generated by the Jpcsp compiler. In my tests, it seems that the Java JIT compiler is producing better results with small Java methods. Could you try different values for methodMaxInstructions on different games and report any changes (better/worse) of performance. I usually try the following values: 50, 100, 500, 3000 (do not try values above 3000).
It would also be interesting to know if these changes break some games...

I would like to have an idea on how this parameter works on different games before deciding to change this value or provide it as a configurable parameter.

Thank you for your support! Smile

I tested these settings a while ago (maybe mid-December) and for me it does not improve the overall fps but more the response times during the "loading" sequences. I also experienced crashes with 50 and/or 100. Can't test until 6-7 hours from now but will try some new test runs then.

Thanks i done retesting. Wink

I've tried to fix these crashes in r1949/r1950... but it looks like I have more work to do Wink
Thank you BlackDaemon for the reports!
BTW, testing with "Only GE graphics" might display a more accurate FPS. Without this option, the FPS is sometimes over-optimistic...

RE: Request for testing Compiler settings - BlackDaemon - 01-16-2011

gid15,

Yeah, i've noticed some games shows fake fps. (Tekken: Dark Resurrection, and Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X, for example)

RE: Request for testing Compiler settings - gid15 - 01-16-2011

Code:
Exception in thread "user_main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: _S1_2_88232F4, method: s8823c48 signature: ()V) Register 0 contains wrong type
This should now be fixed in r1952.

Also, "God of War: Chains of Olympus" is pushing the graphics display on the PSP to its limit, and I guess that the poor performance on Jpcsp comes from the graphics engine. Changing "methodMaxInstructions" is only helping the performance of the Allegrex/Mips code and not the graphics. So, this feature is probably only helping games that have already a "decent" performance in Jpcsp (i.e. where the performance do not depend only on the graphics performance), to improve it a little bit. Any experience with "Crisis Core" or "The 3rd Birthday" that are reported to have a quite acceptable performance?

But reports from other games are also interesting Smile

RE: Request for testing Compiler settings - Darth1701 - 01-16-2011

OK, I just did some quick tests with

* Brandish
No crashes with 50 and 100, ingame fps unchanged at about 29 fps, responsiveness is not that much improved (because it already is very good) but the walking (for loading) is almost down to 0,5 sec. where normal is about 2 sec. and transistions between the stages is faster

* WWE 2010
No crashes with 50 and 100, ingame 8 fps (100) to 10 fps (50) to 5 fps (3000=normal), responsiveness improved to a point where it almost is too fast (with 50)

So this is an improvement over the last time I checked this. Maybe a simple input box would be good enough for testing purpose. How about a new Option menu "Advanced"?

No crash on 50 on 3rd Birthday, speed is almost unchanged, about 10 fps

RE: Request for testing Compiler settings - Game - 01-16-2011

I have no idea for JAVA but iss this means anything for speed?

RE: Request for testing Compiler settings - hlide - 01-16-2011

I guess you have some "Step" methods to call periodically. The longest the compiled block is the slowest responsiveness is. It's kinda logical.
