Anyway - a little self critiquing on the graphics and layout and here one more pass over the material. So if you look at what I have now it begs the question - what to put on the end of it? First, I thought it would be good to mention that not every spread sheet is going to see a 76% performance increase in re-calcs. I figure the easiest way is to reference the other 4 files and the numbers from them. Yes? So - here is the latest draft https://youtu.be/_aClBaBCdYE On Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 8:37 PM Drew Jensen <drewjensen.in...@gmail.com> wrote: > So I wrote a first draft of a script; short and simple > ---- > LibreOffice 6.2 will be the second release to offer multi-core threading > as a standard feature. > > With threading support spreadsheet calculation performance is > significantly enhanced. > > In this video we will use an example file from the Architectural > profession. > > Our example spreadsheet contains 234,000 data points used to compute ETTV > (Envelope Thermal Transfer Value) for an entire building. > > We are using a representative office computer with AMD 4 core processor > and 8GB of ram and Ubuntu 18.04 operating system. > > A full recalc of the Building Design spreadsheet using LibreOffice 6.0.7 > takes 50.14 sec, > the same file using LibreOffice 6.2.0, with multi-core threading, only > 12.06 seconds. > > A 75.95% performance increase! > --- > > Used my poor quality microphone capture of reading the script and got it > down to 42 seconds. > > Put a a nightly rush video to that https://youtu.be/suRcgtBos9A > > > > On Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 1:22 PM Drew Jensen <drewjensen.in...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Before I forget - the files used for to gather these runtime numbers, >> posted in an earlier email, are found here: >> https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/admin/projects/benchmark >> >> There are five xls files with an explanation as to what the spreadsheet >> is evaluating. >> >> They are 4 years old and seem to be as good as I've found for example >> files to show the multi-core threading feature. >> >> Seems to me it might be worthwhile to offer them for download (maybe as a >> zip file) and reference that download location in the video and/or >> associated posting text. >> >> Also, yesterday I went back and reviewed a number of the blog posts and a >> few media posts regarding threading (OpenCL and Multi-Core), thought that >> was a good first step in writing up a script for use here. >> >> Have also gone through the Calc Functions list, as supplied in the Calc >> Guide (updating it from 4.1 - 6.2) and have marked which functions are >> thread enabled and which are not - not sure I have an exhaustive list but >> should be close if not there.
