My doubt is, what kind of application needs this level of optimisation on CPU based application?
Shaders are very bad at certain things like conditional statements. So we usually do that level of analysis to avoid. And the application is for Games or graphics heavy applications. In the same manner, what kind of application goes through this level of details?
- capableweb 4y agoIn my own experience, tools like this are most useful when I write something and it's unexpectedly fast/slow and I don't understand why without diving deeper. Especially when it comes to unexpected slowdowns (expected something to take 1x time but it takes 100x time instead). Being able to inspect the generated assembly usually reveals the cause, and this tool improves being able to jump to the right place, as there tends to be a lot of assembly generated even for small snippets of code, so finding the right place can take some time.
