  1. PerfMarks Benchmarking HTML5 Rendering Performance

  2. Why did we make PerfMarks? • Spaceport: Develop games with Adobe tools, publish to cross-platform mobile apps • Native apps AND HTML5 web-apps • What should we use? • CSS2D, CSS3D, WebGL, canvas? • Rendering Performance matters • Which is best for mobile browsers • Benchmark it

  3. Methodology • HTML5 games: • Translation • Scaling • Rotation • How many images can be moved around while maintaining 30 FPS? • Easy to measure... right?

  4. Accurate Benchmarking is hard • Lots of complications • JIT • latency • memory • screen updates • Getting data takes a long time • Results require scrutiny

  5. Try #1: Draw 100 frames – time it var testStart = Date.now();var maxDraws =100;var numDraws =0;function next(){for(var i =0; i < numObjects;++i){        renderObject(i);}++numDraws;if(numDraws >= maxDraws){var testEnd = Date.now();        done(testEnd - testStart);}else{        setTimeout(next, 0);}}next();

  6. Expected Results

  7. Actual Results

  8. JIT • Just in time engine kicks in for later runs of the test – making benchmark results depend on the order the tests are run. • Invalid results. • Solution: warm up the JIT by running the tests twice – take data from second run.

  9. Next Issue var img =new Image();img.onload=function onloaded(){// img is loaded!var copy = img.cloneNode(true);// is copy loaded?};img.src="foo.png";

  10. DERP

  11. Image Loading Latency • In certain browsers image not loaded • Android Browser • Mobile Firefox • Opera • Desktop Safari • Absurdly high benchmark scores • Solution: Add more onLoad() checks – TONS of redundant onLoad() checks...

  12. How many objects to run? • First pass was [1, 3, 5, 10, 30, 100] • Next pass was add 25 until it's no longer making 30 FPS – then increment by a smaller step size. • Problems:

  13. Real world data is fuzzy!

  14. Real world data is large! • Counting to 7000 by 25 takes a long time • Especially when you are testing 3 mobile browsers on a dozen Android phones

  15. A Better Algorithm • Run Test – estimate time/object/frame • Use estimate to predict the number of objects that will run at exactly 30 FPS • Repeat until predicted number of objects has already been tested • Ensure that there are also data-points above and below

  16. Next problem - Memory • Generate Test Data • Run Tests • Destroy Test Data • This kills the Garbage Collector • This will hard-crash most mobile browsers

  17. A Better Approach • Cache test data • When more data is requested than has been generated – add on to the cached values. • Clear out all test data when the test is completely finished.

  18. Does the screen update? var testStart = Date.now();var numDraws =0;function next(){    setTimeout(next, 0);for(var i =0; i < numObjects;++i){        renderObject(i);}++numDraws;var frameEnd = Date.now();var fpsEstimate = 1000 * numDraws /(frameEnd - testStart);}next();

  19. Asynchronous Screen Updates

  20. "requestAnimationFrame" • "requestAnimationFrame" only happens in modern browsers if it's actually rendering to the screen. • This let's us count the number of times the screen was actually updated during a test run

  21. More Accurate Frame Counting function next(){    requestAnimationFrame(next, element);for(var i =0; i < numObjects;++i){        renderObject(i);}++numDraws;var frameEnd = Date.now();var fpsEstimate = 1000 * numDraws /(frameEnd - testStart);}requestAnimationFrame(next, element);

  22. Results • Modern Smartphone vs Modern Laptop • Macbook Pro vs iPhone 4S • iOS 5.1 • Mobile Safari vs Safari 5.1 (Webkit) • Macbook Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S2 • Android 4.0.3 • Mobile Chrome Beta vs Chrome 19

  23. Safari

  24. Chrome
