IRC Transcripts
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
While we generally don't publish literal logs of our IRC discussions, in some case
|
|
a discussion was found to be so instructive, that we save a literal transcript and
|
|
provide an (slightly condensed) excerpt for later referral.
|
|
|
|
.allocation of processing buffers
|
|
How to control and to what extent to pre-calculate the allocation of processing buffers.
|
|
These buffers are used by the processing node to be invoked, to get the ``input data''
|
|
and to store the ``output data''. This topic might get us into some complications,
|
|
since some nodes take multiple input/output buffers, while other nodes require to
|
|
calculate ``in-place'' +

.frame identification
|
|
We need a way of identifying a frame within the cache; this frame might hold an
|
|
intermediary result; so the access key needs to include the position in the graph,
|
|
as well as the output process and some generation number. This topic was touched
|
|
in one of our earliest meetings +

.shaping the engine interface
|
|
Prompted by a RfC regarding the engine service, this discussion in May 2011 covered
|
|
various aspects of architecture and implementation regarding the engine and especially
|
|
scheduler and render jobs; aborting and superseding of jobs, questions of resource handling,
|
|
waitstates, dedicated time bound operations. +

.scheduler requirements
|
|
This discussion in September 2013 touched various requirements for the scheduler
|
|
and the ramifications for a possible implementation. More specifically, from the
|
|
design and implementation for the playback and rendering subsystem done meanwhile
|
|
we can derive some specific requirements to be imposed on the scheduler from the
|
|
client's point of view. +
