Performance Issues w/ Mekanism Machines
catzs opened this issue · 17 comments
According to Opis, Mekanism machines have a pretty high tick rate on the server, perhaps look at TE's code to reduce lag?
Mekanism Setup- Means Mekanism machines were placed
XU Setup- Means Extra Utilities pipes/nodes were placed
All Setup- Means Mekanism & XU items were placed
TPS was obtained from /cofh tps
MobiusCore & Opis are version 1.2.5
The reason that the XU nodes seemed to cause a bit more lag is that it was 7-10 transfer nodes with 4 stacks of world interaction upgrades making cobble, and 1 stack of speed upgrades.
The Mekanism machines had no speed upgrades, and were processing gold ore.
This was in a creative test flat world, so performance on a real world would be much more drastic.
@catzs you do relise those numbers are actually micro seconds, even smaller then milliseconds - hence the symbol of μs
1 millisecond = 1000 μs
There is 20 ticks to a second so 1 tick = 5 seconds.
5 seconds = 5,000,000μs - 5 million μs per tick.
Bah too early let me try that again lol
50,000μs = 1 tick
@spannerman79 Something's gone wrong with either your maths or your typing there. By that maths 1 second = 20 ticks = 20 * (5 seconds) = 100 seconds :p
A tick is 50ms, which is 50,000μs. Still a lot of μs, but not quite 5 million.
Anyway, I note that the worst Mekanism machine for tick time is an Elite Factory - To be expected, as it's effectively 7 machines working concurrently. Speed upgrades should have no effect on tick time. Looking at that profile, I see no real reason to believe Mekanism is significantly less server-friendly than ExtraUtilities, which I'm pretty happy with as I know server-friendliness is a priority for XU.
Err re read as I did update my comment @unpairedbracket
its ok @unpairedbracket, the moment i hit Comment i had a Homer moment - duh! lol
@catzs 23.514μs for a single tile that in essence 7 factories machines working at once is very good. Much better then having 7 furnaces with hoppers and chests setup via vanilla method
Chiming in on this as well, I have a large server with several in-game users with about 360 elite factories going.. they are VERY tick friendly.
@catzs I think you really need to go back and evaluate your results from Opis. 87 microseconds is nothing in modded Minecraft.
I can also confirm that this is nothing. Try having 8.1.1.228 with one mekanism fanatic consuming across his base area chunks over 200k microseconds... that's 4 ticks in update time. That was an absolute bitch... Especially as it was mainly coming from dynamic tanks that we couldn't afford to get rid of.
