In my previous post, we explained how to use the advanced features of PVRTune to find the specific causes of performance bottlenecks in the Fantasy Warrior 3D game built using the Cocos2d-x game engine. In this post we will demonstrate how developers can use PVRTrace to locate GPU-related issues in this Cocos2d-x based game. We will also show the improvements … Continued

In my last blog post, I explained how the timing data and high-level counters in our PVRTune GPU performance recording tool enabled us to identify that the Fantasy Warrior 3D demo was CPU limited when running on our PowerVR-based target device. In this article, we will describe some of the advanced profiling counters provided by PVRTune and explain how they … Continued

In my previous post I provided a brief introduction about our target platform (Cocos2d-x on PowerVR GPUs), and a set of profiling rule and tools. In this post I will demonstrate how to work with PVRTune to identify performance bottlenecks. Setup environment If you are interested in exploring the Fantasy Warrior 3D game, you can find a video recording here … Continued

This is the first in a short series of posts about our recent collaboration with Chukong Technologies on the Cocos2d-x game engine. In my first article I will offer you a short overview of our analysis and optimization process for Cocos2d-x based graphics demo called Fantasy Warrior 3D. What is Cocos2d-x? Cocos2d-x is a suite of open-source, cross-platform game development … Continued
