Detailed Description

The multi processor scheduler. This class can manage the actor instances in such a way that multiple actor instances can be processed at the same time without getting any conflicts with shared memory. If however you wish to let EMotion FX only use one single CPU, or if the target system ahs only one CPU, it is recommended to use the SingleThreadScheduler class instead, as that will be faster in that specific case. Significant performance gains can be achieved by using this scheduler on multi-processor or multi-core systems though.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ anonymous enum

anonymous enum

The unique type ID of this scheduler, as returned by the GetType() method.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MultiThreadScheduler()

EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::MultiThreadScheduler ( )

protected

The constructor.

◆ ~MultiThreadScheduler()

virtual EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::~MultiThreadScheduler ( )

protectedvirtual

The destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddDependenciesToStep()

void EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::AddDependenciesToStep	(	ActorInstance *	instance,
		ScheduleStep *	outStep
	)

protected

Add the dependencies of a given actor instance to a specified scheduler step. This will also prevent any duplicated dependencies. So dependencies that are already inside the step will not be added again.

Parameters

instance	The actor instance to add the dependencies from.
outStep	The scheduler step to add the dependencies to.

◆ CheckIfHasMatchingDependency()

bool EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::CheckIfHasMatchingDependency	(	ActorInstance *	instance,
		ScheduleStep *	step
	)		const

protected

Check if a given update step has any similar dependencies than the specified actor instance. If this is the case, the specified actor instance can't be inserted inside the same scheduler step, as it would conflict with the other actor instances inside it.

Parameters

instance	The acotr instance to test.
step	The scheduler step to test.

Returns: Returns true when there are matching dependencies, otherwise false is returned.

◆ Clear()

void EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::Clear ( )

overridevirtual

Clear the schedule.

Implements EMotionFX::ActorUpdateScheduler.

◆ Create()

static MultiThreadScheduler* EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::Create ( )

static

The constructor.

◆ Execute()

void EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::Execute ( float timePassedInSeconds )

overridevirtual

The main method which will execute all callbacks, which on their turn will check for visibilty, perform updates and render.

Parameters

timePassedInSeconds The time passed, in seconds, since the last call to the update.

Implements EMotionFX::ActorUpdateScheduler.

◆ FindNextFreeItem()

bool EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::FindNextFreeItem	(	ActorInstance *	actorInstance,
		size_t	startStep,
		size_t *	outStepNr
	)

protected

Find the next free spot in the schedule where we can insert a given actor instance.

Parameters

actorInstance	The actor instance we are trying to insert.
startStep	The step offset in the scheduler, to start searching from.
outStepNr	This will contain the step number in which we can insert the actor instance.

Returns: Returns false when there is no step where we can insert in. A new step will have to be added.

◆ GetName()

const char* EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::GetName ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the name of this class, or a description.

Returns: The string containing the name of the scheduler.

Implements EMotionFX::ActorUpdateScheduler.

◆ GetType()

uint32 EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::GetType ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the unique type ID of the scheduler type. All schedulers will have another ID, so that you can use this to identify what scheduler you are dealing with.

Returns: The unique ID of the scheduler type.

Implements EMotionFX::ActorUpdateScheduler.

◆ Print()

void EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::Print ( )

overridevirtual

LOG the schedule using the LOG method. This can for example show the update order, in which order the actor instances will be updated.

Reimplemented from EMotionFX::ActorUpdateScheduler.

◆ RecursiveInsertActorInstance()

void EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::RecursiveInsertActorInstance	(	ActorInstance *	actorInstance,
		size_t	startStep = `0`
	)

overridevirtual

Recursively insert an actor instance into the schedule, including all its attachments.

Parameters

actorInstance	The actor instance to insert.
startStep	An offset in the schedule where to start trying to insert the actor instances.

Implements EMotionFX::ActorUpdateScheduler.

◆ RecursiveRemoveActorInstance()

void EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::RecursiveRemoveActorInstance	(	ActorInstance *	actorInstance,
		size_t	startStep = `0`
	)

overridevirtual

Recursively remove an actor instance and its attachments from the schedule.

Parameters

actorInstance	The actor instance to remove.
startStep	An offset in the schedule where to start trying to remove from.

Implements EMotionFX::ActorUpdateScheduler.

◆ RemoveActorInstance()

size_t EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::RemoveActorInstance	(	ActorInstance *	actorInstance,
		size_t	startStep = `0`
	)

overridevirtual

Remove a single actor instance from the schedule. This will not remove its attachments.

Parameters

actorInstance	The actor instance to remove.
startStep	An offset in the schedule where to start trying to remove from.

Returns: Returns the offset in the schedule where the actor instance was removed.

Implements EMotionFX::ActorUpdateScheduler.

◆ RemoveEmptySteps()

void EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::RemoveEmptySteps ( )

Remove all empty scheduler steps.

Member Data Documentation

◆ m_cleanTimer

float EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::m_cleanTimer

protected

The time passed since the last automatic call to the Optimize method.

◆ m_steps

AZStd::vector< ScheduleStep > EMotionFX::MultiThreadScheduler::m_steps

protected

An array of update steps, that together form the schedule.
