Forums - Sony - Infamous dev. using 30% power of the PS3? spu related.

I would say % figures like this are garbage. Anyone can make a program which uses 100% of the PS3's capabilities (SPU's, PPU, GPU, RAM, even HDD) but do absolutely nothing. A decent programmer could make a program like that in few hours. A bad programmer could make a program like that accidently when trying to do something else.

I can make such a program for pc in less than 10 min. Talk about PS3 being hard to code.

(Just kidding ^^)

In that case, they should start using more. The last time I saw a video of inFamous with a lot of action in, the frame rate dropped pretty significantly.

 

really? Link? because I highly doubt that. It is more then unlikely for a developer to put out videos with dropping framerates when it is all edited by them in the first place. Why would they include a defect(if it existed)?

It was probably just the video you were streaming...

I think it's the video called "Powers" (not to be mistaken with the one called "Superpowers" or something like that) on the PS Store. So no, it was most definitely not a streaming error

EDIT: I think it's towards the end of the movie that it shows up.

GS: What's it been like working on the PlayStation 3 for the first time?

BF: For us, the most exciting part of the PS3 has been the cell processor, the SPUs specifically.In our highest density scenes right now, we are currently using about 30 percent of the SPUs' capabilities--with the SPUs doing lots of heavy lifting for us on rendering, visibility, particle systems, skinning, animation blending, and so on...this with scores of pedestrians, cars, fires, etc., all going on. And the best part? We've not made any significant attempts to even optimize the SPU code. I think it's reasonable to guess we could put 10 times as much stuff on the SPUs and still make our frame budgets. It's really pretty amazing.

Here is the full interview. Sorry if posted already.

That is not something to be proud of! You should write code as efficiently as you can from the get go, not wait till the end and try to efficient it up. that's so much harder
