From 4e1d8c5a461cd91aad31975a77da4e30f5334504 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fernando Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 15:41:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] feat(perf): vertex-cache optimization + ACMR (Phase 6 slice C) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Builds the third optimization pillar of #261 on top of slices A/B, using the same shape so each layer (CLI / MCP / Inspector validator) gets the same hook. VertexCacheOptimizer (new) — pure-data Tom Forsyth's linear-time vertex cache optimizer plus an ACMR (Average Cache Miss Ratio) calculator. ~300 LoC, no external dep (rejected meshoptimizer because Forsyth's algorithm is ~150 lines inline and we only need the one routine). The Ogre-backed wrapper analyzeEntity() reads each SubMesh's index buffer into a unified uint32 vector, runs the optimizer, and (when rewrite=true) writes the result back through the existing 16/32-bit index path. Only writes back when the new ACMR is strictly lower — never regresses. Surfaced through: - CLI: `qtmesh vertex-cache [-o ] [--json]`. Without -o, analyze-only (read-only). With -o, rewrite in-memory and export to a new file. JSON shape mirrors slice A/B. - MCP tool: `optimize_vertex_cache` with a `rewrite` bool arg. Returns text summary + structured `vertexCache` payload (per- submesh ACMR before/after + weighted totals). - Run Validation: the inspector checklist now includes a "Vertex cache: ACMR " info row, pointing at the CLI / MCP for the actual reorder action (validation stays read-only). Tests: 14 VertexCacheOptimizerTest cases cover the byte math (ACMR on empty / single tri / strip / shuffled strip), Forsyth's behaviour (reduces ACMR ≥15% on shuffled meshes, preserves triangle set, rejects out-of-range indices), and JSON / text serialisation. MeshValidatorTest.DoValidateValidMeshReportsChecklist extended to assert the new ACMR row. Manual smoke: `qtmesh vertex-cache media/models/ninja.mesh -o ...` produced ACMR 0.932 → 0.841 (9.7% improvement) on the larger submesh while leaving the already-optimal one untouched.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User feedback on slice C: the validator row reported the current ACMR but not how much a rewrite would actually save, which buried the call to action. VertexCacheOptimizer now runs Forsyth on a local copy even when rewrite=false, so the SubMeshCacheReport's `acmrAfter` always reflects what the optimized buffer would score. The `reordered` flag still only flips when bytes actually changed on disk — analyze-only mode never mutates Ogre's index buffer. MeshValidator uses the projected delta to pick the row type: - improvement >= 1% → info row "ACMR x.xxx → y.yyy (Z% improvement available — run `qtmesh vertex-cache -o ` …)" - improvement < 1% → ok row "ACMR x.xxx — already optimal" 1% is the cutoff so rounding noise doesn't surface a call-to- action when nothing meaningful would change. Manual smoke: `qtmesh vertex-cache ninja.mesh` (analyze-only) now prints ACMR 0.932 → 0.841 (9.7% improvement available) with "Submeshes rewritten: 0" confirming the buffer wasn't touched.

Adds an "Optimize Vertex Cache" button below the existing "Fix All" row in the Inspector's validation section. Distinct from Fix All on purpose: - Fix All re-imports through Assimp with cleanup flags (mutates geometry / topology). Shown when the row carries `fixable:true`. - Optimize Vertex Cache only rewrites index-buffer ordering via Forsyth — never touches positions / UVs / materials. Shown via a new `hasCacheOptimization` Q_PROPERTY when the validator computed a >=1% projected improvement. MeshValidator gains an `optimizeVertexCache()` Q_INVOKABLE that runs VertexCacheOptimizer::analyzeEntity(rewrite=true) on each selected entity, emits a `fixApplied` message with the actual before/after ACMR, then re-runs `validate()` so the checklist flips the row to "already optimal". The button uses the same blue (#5090d0) as the info-row glyph so the visual grouping is unambiguous — info row → blue action. Manual smoke: load ninja.mesh, click Run Validation → the cache row reports 9.7% improvement available; click Optimize Vertex Cache → row flips to "ACMR 0.841 — already optimal" and the fixApplied message confirms 1 submesh reordered.

Two fixes: - MeshValidator::selectionChanged handler now also resets m_cacheOptimizationAvailable so the new hasCacheOptimization Q_PROPERTY notifies false alongside hasFixableIssues — the button hides automatically. - fixFeedback Text in the validation section now listens for onIssuesChanged and clears itself whenever MeshValidator.validated is false. That covers selection-change, no-selection, and any future code path that resets the report. fixApplied / error messages still survive normal validate() runs because validated stays true through those.

Considered promoting the row from info → warning to make it count. Rejected: ACMR is a perf metric, not a correctness issue; promoting just this row would make the validator inconsistent with the sibling Draws / GPU info rows. Instead, two surgical fixes: 1. MeshValidator: mark the cache row `fixable: true` when the projected improvement is meaningful (>=1%). The dedicated "Optimize Vertex Cache" button reads `hasCacheOptimization` to appear, but the row's `fixable` flag is what the context panel reads to count "Fixable: Yes". To keep the red "Fix All (re-import with cleanup)" button from accidentally appearing on cache-only fixable cases (it does the Assimp re-import, not the vertex-cache reorder), `hasFixableIssues` now restricts itself to error / warning rows. Info-tier fixables have their own buttons (hasCacheOptimization for now; future slices add more). 2. BottomContextPanel: added a "Suggestions" column alongside "Findings". `Findings` still counts errors+warnings (the must-fix tier); `Suggestions` counts info rows that carry a one-click fix. Both update reactively on validate() / selection change. Visual result: validate a non-optimized mesh, the panel now reads "Findings: 0 Suggestions: 1 Fixable: Yes Status: Ready", and the "Optimize Vertex Cache" button is right there in the panel.

Context panel "Fixable" now reads Yes for the vertex-cache suggestion. The QML reads MeshValidator.hasFixableIssues OR hasCacheOptimization, mirroring how Suggestions counts info-tier fixable rows separately from Findings. 2. qtmesh scan now flags poor vertex-cache locality. - ScanConfig.maxAcmr (double, 0 = disabled). Loaded from yml/json, scope overrides, and (via the qtmesh-cloud PR landing alongside this) the project's `max_acmr` rule. - AssetInfo.weightedAcmr computed via VertexCacheOptimizer:: computeAcmr on Assimp's flattened per-face triangle indices, weighted by triangle count. Emitted in the per-asset JSON. - evaluateRules adds a `max_acmr` warning when the asset's weighted ACMR exceeds the configured ceiling. - CLI flag --max-acmr . Design note (documented inline): the Assimp index order is NOT the same as Ogre's MeshSerializer order, so the scan's ACMR runs higher than the editor's "Run Validation" ACMR on the same asset (e.g. ninja.mesh scans at 3.0 vs 0.93 in the editor). The scan still catches the meshes that need a reorder; an Ogre-backed scan backend that produces matching numbers is the deliberately-deferred slice C2 (CLAUDE.md says ScanEngine is "lightweight metadata extraction" on purpose, and switching wholesale costs ~500ms+ Ogre init plus O(n) entity cleanup per file). Manual smoke: `qtmesh scan media/models --max-acmr 0.8` warns on the four high-ACMR fbx/mesh files and is silent on robot.mesh (below threshold). JSON output carries `weightedAcmr` on every mesh asset.

Structural refactors (S3776 cognitive complexity): VertexCacheOptimizer.cpp / forsyth() — 59 → ~15 - Extracted buildTriangleAdjacency, cachePushFront, enforceCacheCapacity, triangleScore, and findNextBestTriangle helpers. The main loop is now a six-line state machine: emit → push-to-cache → evict → re-score cached verts → pick next best. - ScoreTable's 32-entry c-array swapped for std::array. - vertexScore's nested ternary on cache-position split into a named cachePositionScore() so each branch reads independently. - Out-of-range index check moved to a single pre-loop pass before any allocation, dropping a branch in the hot CSR-build path. VertexCacheOptimizer.cpp / analyzeEntity() — 52 → ~10 - Extracted readIndexBuffer / writeIndexBuffer (the 16/32-bit index lock/copy/unlock dance) and analyzeSubMesh (per-submesh Forsyth + writeback) into anonymous-namespace helpers. - New public helpers mergeReport() / finalize() collapse the multi-entity aggregation that was duplicated in MCP and CLI callers; both call sites are now three lines. CLIPipeline.cpp / cmdVertexCache() — 33 → ~15 - Extracted parseVertexCacheArgs, exportRewrittenMesh, emitVertexCacheReport into anonymous-namespace helpers (same pattern as cmdMemory in slice A). cmdVertexCache is now a thin orchestrator. Mechanical fixes (S5350 / S6004 / S5827 / S5276): - const Ogre::SceneNode* / const Ogre::Entity* in scene walks. - const Ogre::SubMesh* / IndexData* / VertexData* in the per- submesh helper. - Init-statement on the cache.find() in computeAcmr's inner loop. - ScanEngine's tris cast now uses `const auto` (mirrors slice B's pattern for static_cast assignments). - Removed redundant `static` on the ScoreTable singleton (it's already in an anonymous namespace, so static is redundant). The remaining MCPServer.cpp:2798 S5817 ("should be const") is the same intentional NOSONAR pattern as slice A's get_memory_usage and slice B's analyze_draw_calls — ToolHandler is a non-const member-fn pointer. Manual smoke: qtmesh vertex-cache media/models/ninja.mesh -o out still produces ACMR 0.932 → 0.841 (9.7%) with 1/2 submeshes reordered. UnitTests link clean.

New NAV group "Performance" with four entries: - Concepts: a long-form explanation of GPU memory, draw calls, and ACMR — what each metric measures, how the validator computes it, and a "what numbers should I see?" table for ACMR (~0.5 optimal, >2 needs reorder). - memory: full CmdSection with synopsis, all flags (--budget / --token / --no-cloud), example text output, and a paragraph explaining the JSON shape returned by the CLI and the MCP get_memory_usage tool. - analyze: CmdSection with synopsis, example output, and the "Reading the report" note explaining what the After-merges number means alongside Draw calls. - vertex-cache: CmdSection covering analyze-only vs rewrite-and- export, the "never regresses" guarantee, the Inspector workflow with the Optimize Vertex Cache button, and the MCP rewrite arg. Scan Reference additions: - New "Performance Rules" subsection under scan-rules with a RuleCard for max_acmr. Documents the Assimp-vs-Ogre index-order discrepancy so users don't get confused when scan numbers don't match the in-app validator — the calibration suggestion is 1.5 on the scan side. Links back to Performance Concepts. - --max-acmr CLI flag added to the scan options table. - max_acmr added to the YAML schema example with a hint pointing at Performance Concepts. Build verified manually: 11 tags balance (6 closing + 5 self-closing), 15 / 15
tags balance. The local vite build refuses to run on Node 20.18 (needs ≥20.19) so the actual bundle gets verified by CI's website build.

Performance Concepts

+

+ QtMeshEditor ships three first-class performance analyses, all accessible from the + CLI, the MCP server, and the Inspector's Run Validation checklist. + They never modify your source files unless you explicitly ask — analysis is + read-only by default, rewrites are opt-in. +

+ +

GPU memory (VRAM)

+

+ The bytes a mesh occupies on the GPU once it's resident, broken into two pieces: +

+
    +
  • Mesh bytes: vertexCount × stride + indexCount × indexSize. + Stride is determined by the vertex declaration (positions + normals + UVs + bone weights, etc.). + Index size is 2 bytes for 16-bit buffers and 4 bytes for 32-bit.
    • +
  • Texture bytes: width × height × bytesPerPixel, multiplied by + 4/3 when a mipmap chain is present (the chain converges to a third of the base).
    • +
+

+ The validator's GPU: row sums both, deduplicating shared meshes so totals reflect + actual GPU residents (not draw-call counts). qtmesh memory exposes the same numbers + from a file path. The --budget flag (or the memory_budget_mb rule on a + QtMesh Cloud project) flips the command's exit code to 1 when the scene exceeds the + configured ceiling — useful as a CI gate. +

+ +

Draw calls

+

+ One draw call per SubEntity. Ogre cannot batch SubEntities that share a material + into a single draw call automatically, so two cubes with the same wood material still cost two + calls. qtmesh analyze groups every loaded entity by the materials its SubEntities + use and reports two numbers: +

+
    +
  • Draw calls: today's cost.
    • +
  • After merges: the cost if all N entities sharing a material were + combined into one — saving N−1 calls per cluster.
    • +
+

+ The validator surfaces this as a Draws: info row with the merge-savings count. + The merge itself isn't done from the validator yet (it's a write op crossing the undo stack); + the suggestion in the JSON tells you which entities to combine in Edit Mode or via a future + qtmesh optimize command. +

+ +

Vertex cache (ACMR)

+

+ Modern GPUs cache the last ~32 transformed vertices (the "post-T&L cache"). Triangles that + reference recently-emitted vertices skip the per-vertex pipeline cost. ACMR + (Average Cache Miss Ratio) measures how friendly a mesh's index order is to that cache — + cache misses divided by triangle count. +

+ + + + + + + + +
ACMR rangeMeaning
~0.5Theoretical optimum (each triangle reuses two cached verts).
0.5 – 1.0Well-ordered strips; no reorder needed.
1.0 – 2.0Typical for unoptimized exporters. Worth a reorder pass.
> 2.0Random-ish topology. Reorder cuts vertex-shader load substantially.
+

+ qtmesh vertex-cache runs Tom Forsyth's linear-time algorithm + on every submesh. Without -o it's analyze-only and reports what the projected + ACMR would be after a reorder. With -o <out> it rewrites the index buffer in + place — but only when the new order strictly improves ACMR (never regresses). The Inspector's + Optimize Vertex Cache button does the same in-memory rewrite without writing back + to disk. +

+

+ The scan command's max_acmr rule flags assets above a configured ceiling. + Heads-up: scan computes ACMR from Assimp's flattened triangle list, which doesn't match + Ogre's index order — scan numbers run higher than the in-app validator's on the same asset. + 1.5 is a reasonable scan-side ceiling. A future Ogre-backed scan backend will + reconcile the numbers. +

Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 17:07:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 9/9] chore(perf): const-pointers on slice C helpers (#498) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Clears 4 of the 6 remaining S5350 / S995 minors flagged by Sonar after the post-merge attribution: - CLIPipeline::cmdVertexCache: `entities` reference is now `const auto&` (the loop only reads; no add/remove). - exportRewrittenMesh: `entity` / `node` are now pointer-to-const (MeshImporterExporter::exporter takes const SceneNode* already, the read-only path is straight-through). - VertexCacheOptimizer::readIndexBuffer: takes `const IndexData*` (locks read-only). The remaining S995 on writeIndexBuffer/analyzeEntity are not really fixable: both functions exist specifically to mutate Ogre buffers through the supplied IndexData* / Entity* pointer when rewrite=true. A pointer-to-const there would force a const_cast inside or change the API contract — left as-is. The MAJOR S5817 on toolOptimizeVertexCache stays NOSONAR'd for the same reason as the slice A / B tool methods: ToolHandler is a non-const member-fn pointer.
