Systems and methods for using memory usage to pinpoint sub-optimal code for gaming systems are provided herein. Memory usage characteristics, such as latency, cache misses, load-hit-store, memory address misuse, and wasted cache bandwidth are presented, preferably in a graphical format, to provide the developer with information for optimizing source code. A trace analysis is performed on source code undergoing optimization. Relevant data is extracted from the trace analysis, sorted as necessary, and presented to the user. The user may be presented with multiple results sorting mechanisms as well as ways to change the presentation of the results.

Using memory usage to pinpoint sub-optimal code for gaming systems

Technology for testing a target recognition, analysis, and tracking system is provided. A searchable repository of recorded and synthesized depth clips and associated ground truth tracking data is provided. Data in the repository is used by one or more processing devices each including at least one instance of a target recognition, analysis, and tracking pipeline to analyze performance of the tracking pipeline. An analysis engine provides at least a subset of the searchable set responsive to a request to test the pipeline and receives tracking data output from the pipeline on the at least subset of the searchable set. A report generator outputs an analysis of the tracking data relative to the ground truth in the at least subset to provide an output of the error relative to the ground truth.

Validation analysis of human target

The performance of a video game is analyzed using non-intrusive capture and storage of game data. A non-linear capture format is used for capturing run-time game data. The run-time game data includes run-time parameters associated with execution of an application code as well as run-time parameters associated with hardware of a game platform upon which the application code is being executed. The captured data is stored in a storage medium using a non-contiguous storage format.

Analyzing video game performance using non-intrusive capture and storage of run-time game data

A method for analyzing the performance of a video game uses a diagnostic tool that is associated with application code of the video game. The diagnostic tool is activated when the video game is in operation, and real-time performance data is captured and displayed. A warning is generated when a performance metric violates a pre-set condition. The warning may be displayed on a display screen that is used to provide information for rectifying the violation.
