Whiteboard

Ideas
- create an app which is similar to dash (lots of icons, scrolls up/down, switches left/right), idea is that it would be comparable to dash but static code nature...let's call it "mockdash"
- measurement capability should ideally contain average fps, averge render times, avg of 5 longest render time
- measurement should occur against actual dash and mockdash
- measurement should also contain some measure of fill rate and CPU bandwidth, and power utilization (e.g. how many hours can the device run the UI until the power runs out)
- unity8 AP test on SF vs Mir

(?)

Work Items

Work items:
create instrumentation/reporting for the fps/render times : TODO
take a series of report runs on the actual dash, play around with turning off networking other background tasks : TODO
create fake mockdash app that approximates dash : TODO
perform bottleneck analysis on both dash & mockdash data, define new tests to get more data or work with teams to optimize identified hotspots : TODO
