Gaming: World of Tanks enCore

Albeit different to most of the other commonly played MMO or massively multiplayer online games, World of Tanks is set in the mid-20th century and allows players to take control of a range of military based armored vehicles. World of Tanks (WoT) is developed and published by Wargaming who are based in Belarus, with the game’s soundtrack being primarily composed by Belarusian composer Sergey Khmelevsky. The game offers multiple entry points including a free-to-play element as well as allowing players to pay a fee to open up more features. One of the most interesting things about this tank based MMO is that it achieved eSports status when it debuted at the World Cyber Games back in 2012.

World of Tanks enCore is a demo application for a new and unreleased graphics engine penned by the Wargaming development team. Over time the new core engine will implemented into the full game upgrading the games visuals with key elements such as improved water, flora, shadows, lighting as well as other objects such as buildings. The World of Tanks enCore demo app not only offers up insight into the impending game engine changes, but allows users to check system performance to see if the new engine run optimally on their system.

    For Brownian motion? That seems weird. Nonetheless, it can't alone explain the speed up.

    Most favourable scenario: code consists only of floating point mul and add pairs, together with 64-bit integer multiplication. The floating point operations could become 4x faster in AVX2 (twice as wide as SSE, and using FMAs); to see the observed 2x speed up, that means the floating point operations constituted 2/3 of the execution time in the SSE version.

    The AVX512 version, ignoring any consequent downclocking, could make those floating point operations 8x faster than the SSE case, and the 64-bit integer multiplies also 8x faster. That's still not 10x, it ignores the lower throughput of 8-wide i64 muls compared to scalar muls, and also discounts the slower clock speed.

    Just an update: ran a simple test (square eight times all the 64-bit ints in a 1024-long array) wrapped in google benchmark on a Skylake Xeon with gcc-8.2 -O3. The kernel is almost entirely multiplications, and ultimately saw a roughly 2x speed up with AVX512 compared to AVX2, and a 2.5x speed up with AVX512 compared with a 'no architecture specified' compilation.

    Its very, very simples. If you gaming lonly buy an intel... If you work and gaming buy a 3950x... If you only work buy a threadripper or a xeon...
