KeyCat 131 Posted February 7, 2015 Since Large Pages helped quite a few to get better performance I wonder if there are any technical reason why BIS can't release same/similar malloc themself? /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeyCat 131 Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks Jimmy! Maybe I run an old version and thats why my performance suffered (or something else happened in 1.38)? Have to check it up when I get back home... IIRC there was a logfile version to verify if LP was used... /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwarden 1124 Posted April 14, 2015 ... no panic iam alive and some times around. Still tinkering a bit, as usual, if time is left :) nice to see you still around could you please consider to release your latest version of Your memory allocator ? (the one only handful testers had and you asked to not release it) and ideally on latest TBB base ... older one slowly cease to function on various systems (bugs, crashes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fred41 42 Posted April 19, 2015 ... for all GMF fans, here is a little update ... I'am trying to 'reanimate' this tweak for all 'non-BE' sessions, like SP or LAN-MP. Since it is an additional patch of arma client nessecary to make this tweak work, you have to bar in mind: DON'T use a patched arma client to join a 'battleye enabled' session!!! Please read the readme in my GMF repository for detailed usage instructions and read it carefully. If you prefer the manual method, i recommend to work with a copy of 'arma3.exe' to reduce the risk of unintentionally joining a battleye enabled server. For the less experienced users, there is an updated 'LPManager' available again, to save you some work and stress. This tweak must now be reapplied with each arma update to work, i am sorry. Enjoy :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted April 19, 2015 Will give it a try later, thanks for making and sharing! /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 272 Posted April 20, 2015 Some tests with the new LPManager/GMF thingy combined with the tbbmalloc: 8-10fps difference compared to vanilla malloc and no GMF :butbut: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fushko 60 Posted April 20, 2015 Some tests with the new LPManager/GMF thingy combined with the tbbmalloc: 8-10fps difference compared to vanilla malloc and no GMF :butbut: What the fuck. That's a lot. I've gotta try this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanZant 48 Posted April 20, 2015 Vanilla vs. tbbmalloc = +2/3 fps with tbbmalloc. Vanilla + tbbmalloc vs. Vanilla + tbbmalloc + large pages = -20 fps This time the tweak does not work for me :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiforos 450 Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure I did it the right way but I only gain 1-3 FPS when I run the game through the new 'arma3LP.exe' Anyway thanks for the effort :) Edited April 21, 2015 by Nikiforos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loud 11 Posted April 22, 2015 Too bad it's not safe to use it in an MP environment. And yes please Fred, release the ultimate Malloc again :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fred41 42 Posted April 26, 2015 ... thanks for your feedback, guys ... I think, generally you should get similiar relative improvements like before arma 1.38 (in percent, %). I got the following result, on windows 7/64bit, using helo's altis benchmark (5 runs each, averaged): 83.3 arma3.exe ... 94.1 arma3LP.exe -malloc=tbbmalloc ... ((94.1/83.3) - 1) * 100% = 12.96% ~ 13% Considering the fact, that this effect is only caused by large page usage, for most of the data and all main module code, this result is not that bad. Anyway, i think it is still a lot of effort to set it up correctly and therefore primarily interesting for the performance enthusiast :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiforos 450 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Arma3LP doesn't work after latest update to 1.44. I guess they want with purpose to break your balls Fred41 :) Edited May 6, 2015 by Nikiforos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fred41 42 Posted May 8, 2015 @Nikiforos, just reapply, via LPManager (uncheck and check 'LP ImageFileMapping Client'). If you forgot this step, you are trying to run a 'arma3LP.exe' ver. 1.42, on 1.44 data ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
