Fascinating. Just for fun, comparable compute (by cpumarks) to your 13900k for 30 fps would be 39,600+ 96-core AMD EPYC 9655Ps. Bravo on the project success!

- dimitropoulos 2y agoyou know what's funny, I also have a threadripper rig (which is my main development rig) and it ran _slower_ than on the 13900k. Like. by a lot. and while that surprised me at first, it's makes a lot of sense because this is Node.js in the end (i.e. the TypeScript typechecker runs within Node.js) and that means it's single threaded. So single-threaded perf is all that matters.
- replete 2y agoThat figures. It was fun though to pretend it would scale across processors. Were you tempted to fork the typescript compiler in this project to add some optimizations or something crazier like gpu acceleration for rendering or parallel workloads? Reminds me of the guy on Youtube obsessed with optimizing Mario64 code, he found really interesting things like how removing optimizations made the game faster - presumably because the very basic tooling the original developers had made it hard to measure things across the board, and also not making the most of the powerful hardware architecture.
