이것만으로도 UI 스레드 큐잉 지연을 크게 줄일 수 있습니다.

● 이제 WaitForSingleObjectEx() 대신 WaitForSingleObject()가 사용되고 있네요. 두 함수의 차이점과 Present() 함수에서 왜 대기 함수가 없는지 설명드리겠습니다.
|
||||
|
||||
WaitForSingleObjectEx vs WaitForSingleObject
|
||||
|
||||
기술적 차이점
|
||||
|
||||
// WaitForSingleObject - 기본 대기 함수
|
||||
DWORD WaitForSingleObject(
|
||||
HANDLE hHandle, // 대기할 이벤트/펜스
|
||||
DWORD dwMilliseconds // 타임아웃 (INFINITE = 무한 대기)
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// WaitForSingleObjectEx - 확장 버전 (APC 지원)
|
||||
DWORD WaitForSingleObjectEx(
|
||||
HANDLE hHandle,
|
||||
DWORD dwMilliseconds,
|
||||
BOOL bAlertable // APC 호출 허용 여부
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
차이점:
|
||||
- WaitForSingleObject: 단순 대기만 수행
|
||||
- WaitForSingleObjectEx: APC (Asynchronous Procedure Call) 지원
|
||||
- bAlertable=TRUE이면 스레드가 APC를 받을 수 있음
|
||||
- WinRT/COM 환경에서 메시지 펌프와 상호작용 가능
|
||||
|
||||
현재 코드 분석
|
||||
|
||||
1. Present() 함수 - 대기 없음 (비동기)
|
||||
|
||||
HRESULT D3D12VideoRenderer::Present() {
|
||||
if (!m_swapChain) {
|
||||
return E_NOT_VALID_STATE;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// SwapChain Present만 호출 - CPU는 대기 안 함!
|
||||
HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(1, 0);
|
||||
// ↑ '1' = VSync 활성화 (GPU가 수직동기 대기)
|
||||
// CPU는 즉시 return하고 다음 작업 수행
|
||||
|
||||
m_frameIndex = m_swapChain->GetCurrentBackBufferIndex();
|
||||
return S_OK;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
핵심 포인트:
|
||||
- Present(1, 0)는 GPU가 VSync를 대기하도록 지시
|
||||
- CPU 스레드는 대기 없이 즉시 반환
|
||||
- SwapChain이 자동으로 프레임 페이싱 관리
|
||||
|
||||
2. WaitForGPU() - 전체 GPU 대기 (동기)
|
||||
|
||||
HRESULT D3D12VideoRenderer::WaitForGPU() {
|
||||
m_commandQueue->Signal(m_fence.Get(), m_fenceValue);
|
||||
m_fence->SetEventOnCompletion(m_fenceValue, m_fenceEvent);
|
||||
|
||||
// CPU가 GPU 완료까지 블로킹 대기
|
||||
WaitForSingleObject(m_fenceEvent, INFINITE);
|
||||
|
||||
m_fenceValue++;
|
||||
return S_OK;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
사용 시점:
|
||||
- Shutdown 시 GPU 작업 완료 대기
|
||||
- Resize 시 이전 렌더 타겟 해제 전 대기
|
||||
|
||||
3. WaitForFrameCompletion() - 개별 프레임 대기 (동기)
|
||||
|
||||
void D3D12VideoRenderer::WaitForFrameCompletion(UINT frameIndex) {
|
||||
// 특정 프레임의 GPU 작업이 완료되었는지 확인
|
||||
if (m_fence->GetCompletedValue() < m_frameCompletionValues[frameIndex]) {
|
||||
m_fence->SetEventOnCompletion(m_frameCompletionValues[frameIndex], m_fenceEvent);
|
||||
|
||||
// CPU가 해당 프레임 완료까지 블로킹 대기
|
||||
WaitForSingleObject(m_fenceEvent, INFINITE);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
사용 시점:
|
||||
- RenderVideoFrame() 시작 시 (line 141)
|
||||
- 해당 프레임 인덱스의 Command Allocator 재사용 전 대기
|
||||
|
||||
Option B의 의미 재검토
|
||||
|
||||
현재 상황 분석
|
||||
|
||||
문제가 되는 대기는 WaitForFrameCompletion()입니다:
|
||||
|
||||
HRESULT D3D12VideoRenderer::RenderVideoFrame(...) {
|
||||
// 문제: 여기서 UI 스레드가 블로킹됨!
|
||||
WaitForFrameCompletion(m_frameIndex); // ← CPU 대기 발생
|
||||
|
||||
// Command Allocator 리셋 (안전하게 재사용 가능)
|
||||
m_commandAllocators[m_frameIndex]->Reset();
|
||||
|
||||
// ... 렌더링 작업 ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
블로킹 시나리오:
|
||||
1. 30fps 재생 → 33.33ms마다 ProcessFrame() 콜백 호출
|
||||
2. UI 스레드에서 RenderVideoFrame() 실행
|
||||
3. WaitForFrameCompletion() 호출 시 GPU 작업이 미완료면 CPU가 블로킹
|
||||
4. 4개 플레이어가 동시에 렌더링 → 누적 대기 시간 증가
|
||||
5. 결과: MISSED target 경고 (15-56ms 초과)
|
||||
|
||||
Option B의 실제 의미
|
||||
|
||||
Option B: WaitForSingleObject() 제거
|
||||
void D3D12VideoRenderer::WaitForFrameCompletion(UINT frameIndex) {
|
||||
if (m_fence->GetCompletedValue() < m_frameCompletionValues[frameIndex]) {
|
||||
m_fence->SetEventOnCompletion(m_frameCompletionValues[frameIndex], m_fenceEvent);
|
||||
|
||||
// [Option B] 이 대기를 제거 → CPU가 즉시 진행
|
||||
// WaitForSingleObject(m_fenceEvent, INFINITE);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
효과:
|
||||
- ✅ UI 스레드 블로킹 제거: CPU가 GPU 대기 없이 즉시 진행
|
||||
- ✅ 프레임 타이밍 개선: 33.33ms 예산 내에서 작업 완료 가능
|
||||
- ⚠️ 리스크: Command Allocator가 GPU에서 사용 중일 때 Reset() 호출 가능
|
||||
|
||||
대안: Triple Buffering 확장
|
||||
|
||||
안전한 해결책:
|
||||
// 현재: 2개 프레임 버퍼 (FrameCount=2)
|
||||
static const UINT FrameCount = 2;
|
||||
|
||||
// 제안: 3개 프레임 버퍼로 확장
|
||||
static const UINT FrameCount = 3;
|
||||
|
||||
이유:
|
||||
- GPU가 프레임 N을 처리 중일 때
|
||||
- CPU는 프레임 N+2 또는 N+3에서 작업
|
||||
- WaitForFrameCompletion() 호출 시 이미 완료된 프레임이므로 대기 없음
|
||||
|
||||
권장 조치
|
||||
|
||||
1단계: Triple Buffering 도입 (안전)
|
||||
|
||||
// D3D12VideoRenderer.h
|
||||
static const UINT FrameCount = 3; // 2 → 3으로 변경
|
||||
|
||||
장점:
|
||||
- 안전성 유지 (GPU 동기화 보장)
|
||||
- 대기 시간 최소화 (이미 완료된 프레임 사용)
|
||||
- 코드 변경 최소화
|
||||
|
||||
단점:
|
||||
- 메모리 사용량 약간 증가 (1 프레임 버퍼 추가)
|
||||
- 지연시간 약간 증가 (1 프레임 = 33.33ms)
|
||||
|
||||
2단계: DispatcherQueue 우선순위 상승 (추가 최적화)
|
||||
|
||||
// PlaybackController.cpp - DispatcherQueue 우선순위 변경
|
||||
m_uiDispatcher.TryEnqueue(
|
||||
DispatcherQueuePriority::High, // Normal → High
|
||||
[this, frame]() {
|
||||
// ProcessFrame 실행
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
효과:
|
||||
- UI 스레드에서 프레임 처리가 우선순위 높게 처리
|
||||
- 다른 UI 이벤트보다 먼저 실행
|
||||
|
||||
결론
|
||||
|
||||
Option B에서 언급한 WaitForSingleObjectEx()는 실제로 코드에 없습니다.
|
||||
|
||||
실제 문제는:
|
||||
1. WaitForSingleObject() in WaitForFrameCompletion() - UI 스레드 블로킹
|
||||
2. Dual Buffering (FrameCount=2) - GPU 대기 가능성 높음
|
||||
|
||||
추천 해결 방안:
|
||||
1. ✅ Triple Buffering (FrameCount=3) - 안전하고 효과적
|
||||
2. ✅ DispatcherQueue High Priority - 추가 성능 개선
|
||||
3. ⚠️ WaitForSingleObject 제거 - 리스크 높음, 권장하지 않음
|
||||
|
||||
Triple Buffering으로 먼저 시도해보시겠습니까?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
● RENDER/PRESENT 시간은 정상입니다 (0.3-3.0ms). 문제는 QUEUE_DELAY입니다.
|
||||
|
||||
실제 문제 원인
|
||||
|
||||
DispatcherQueue High Priority가 효과가 없는 이유:
|
||||
|
||||
WinUI3의 DispatcherQueue는 UI 스레드가 메시지 펌프를 처리하는 속도에 의존합니다. High Priority를 설정해도:
|
||||
|
||||
1. UI 스레드가 이미 busy → 큐에서 대기
|
||||
2. 4개 플레이어가 동시에 High Priority 큐잉 → 여전히 순차 처리
|
||||
3. UI 스레드 하나로 4개 렌더링 처리 → 병목
|
||||
|
||||
해결책: 렌더링을 UI 스레드에서 분리
|
||||
|
||||
현재 구조:
|
||||
[Timing Thread] → [DispatcherQueue (UI Thread)] → [RENDER + PRESENT]
|
||||
↑ 병목 지점!
|
||||
|
||||
개선된 구조:
|
||||
[Timing Thread] → [RENDER (백그라운드)] → [PRESENT (UI Thread)]
|
||||
↑ 빠름 (Present만)
|
||||
|
||||
또는 더 나은 방법: SwapChain Present를 비동기로 처리

||||

|
||||
● 핵심 문제 발견
|
||||
|
||||
현재 Present(1, 0)는 VSync 활성화를 의미합니다:
|
||||
- 1 = 60Hz 모니터 기준 16.67ms마다 VSync 대기
|
||||
- 4개 플레이어가 순차적으로 Present → 누적 대기 시간 발생
|
||||
|
||||
해결책: VSync를 비활성화하고 수동 프레임 페이싱
|
||||
|
||||
// 현재: Present(1, 0) - VSync 활성화
|
||||
hr = m_swapChain->Present(1, 0);
|
||||
|
||||
// 제안: Present(0, 0) - VSync 비활성화 (수동 프레임 페이싱)
|
||||
hr = m_swapChain->Present(0, 0);
|
||||
|
||||
프레임 페이싱은 이미 PlaybackController의 Timing Thread에서 처리하고 있으므로, Present에서 VSync 대기는 불필요하고 오히려 성능 저하를 일으킵니다.
|
||||
|
||||
Present를 (0, 0)으로 변경하시겠습니까? 이렇게 하면:
|
||||
- UI 스레드 블로킹 제거
|
||||
- QUEUE_DELAY 대폭 감소 (30-40ms → 2-5ms로 예상)
|
||||
- 프레임 페이싱은 Timing Thread가 계속 관리
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
● 로그를 분석한 결과 QUEUE_DELAY가 여전히 매우 높습니다 (9-58ms). 주요 문제점을 발견했습니다:
|
||||
|
||||
문제 분석
|
||||
|
||||
Player#2: RENDER: 1.6 ms (background thread)
|
||||
Player#2: PRESENT: 2.4 ms | QUEUE_DELAY: 9.9 ms ✅ 양호
|
||||
|
||||
Player#3: RENDER: 2.7 ms (background thread)
|
||||
Player#3: PRESENT: 3.3 ms | QUEUE_DELAY: 58.0 ms ❌ 매우 높음!
|
||||
|
||||
Player#3: DECODE: 53.6 ms ❌ 디코딩도 느림!
|
||||
|
||||
핵심 원인: Round-Robin으로 인해 Player#3이 자기 차례를 기다리는 동안 53ms가 소요되고 있습니다. 이것이 QUEUE_DELAY를 증가시키는 주된 원인입니다.
|
||||
|
||||
해결책: Round-Robin 대기를 Async로 변경
|
||||
|
||||
현재 문제는 동기식 Round-Robin 대기로 인해 decode thread가 블로킹되고 있습니다. 이를 해결하려면 대기 자체를 비동기로 처리해야 합니다.

|
||||
|
||||
● 로그 분석 결과, Round-Robin이 문제의 핵심 원인입니다:
|
||||
|
||||
Player#3: DECODE: 53.6 ms ← Round-Robin 대기로 인해 53ms 소요
|
||||
Player#3: QUEUE_DELAY: 58.0 ms ← decode thread가 블로킹되어 UI thread 콜백도 지연
|
||||
|
||||
최종 해결책: Round-Robin 제거
|
||||
|
||||
이전의 모든 최적화(Triple Buffering, VSync 제거, 렌더링 분리)가 구현되었지만 Round-Robin 자체가 병목이 되고 있습니다.
|
||||
|
||||
Round-Robin은 NVDEC 큐 포화를 방지하기 위해 도입했으나, 실제로는 각 플레이어가 순차적으로 기다리면서 엄청난 지연을 유발하고 있습니다.
|
||||
|
||||
새로운 접근: Round-Robin을 제거하고 NVDEC이 자체적으로 큐를 관리하도록 합니다.
|
||||
|
||||
time.log 결과를 보니 3개 최적화가 모두 적용되었음에도 흔들림이 지속되는 이유는 Round-Robin 대기 때문입니다. Round-Robin을 제거하면 각 플레이어가 독립적으로 디코딩하여 훨씬
|
||||
부드러운 재생이 가능합니다.
|
||||
|
||||
Round-Robin 제거 작업을 진행할까요?

> VSync 를 다시 켜는 것은 문제가 있을까?
|
||||
|
||||
● 완벽합니다! Hybrid 설계 문서를 작성했습니다. 이제 사용자의 새로운 질문에 답변하겠습니다:
|
||||
|
||||
VSync를 다시 켜는 것에 대한 분석
|
||||
|
||||
VSync를 다시 켜는 것(Present(1, 0))은 문제가 있을 수 있습니다. 상황을 분석해 드리겠습니다:
|
||||
|
||||
❌ VSync ON의 문제점
|
||||
|
||||
1. UI 스레드 블로킹
|
||||
// VSync ON (Present(1, 0))
|
||||
HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(1, 0); // BLOCKS until next VBlank (16.67ms)
|
||||
- Present() 호출이 다음 VBlank까지 블로킹됨
|
||||
- UI 스레드가 16.67ms 동안 멈춤
|
||||
- QUEUE_DELAY가 다시 증가할 가능성
|
||||
|
||||
2. 타이밍 충돌
|
||||
현재 구조:
|
||||
- PlaybackController timing thread: 33.33ms 간격 (30fps)
|
||||
- VSync: 16.67ms 간격 (60Hz)
|
||||
|
||||
두 타이밍이 충돌하면:
|
||||
- Frame pacing 불안정
|
||||
- Micro-stuttering 발생 가능
|
||||
|
||||
✅ VSync OFF의 장점 (현재 상태)
|
||||
|
||||
현재 설정 (D3D12VideoRenderer.cpp:197):
|
||||
HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(0, 0);
|
||||
|
||||
장점:
|
||||
- Present()가 즉시 반환 (non-blocking)
|
||||
- UI 스레드 QUEUE_DELAY 최소화
|
||||
- PlaybackController가 완전한 timing 제어권 보유
|
||||
|
||||
🤔 VSync를 켜고 싶은 이유?
|
||||
|
||||
만약 Screen Tearing 때문이라면, 대안이 있습니니다:
|
||||
|
||||
Option 1: DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_DISCARD + ALLOW_TEARING
|
||||
// SwapChain 생성 시
|
||||
swapChainDesc.SwapEffect = DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_DISCARD;
|
||||
swapChainDesc.Flags = DXGI_SWAP_CHAIN_FLAG_ALLOW_TEARING;
|
||||
|
||||
// Present 시 (tearing 허용하지만 부드러움)
|
||||
m_swapChain->Present(0, DXGI_PRESENT_ALLOW_TEARING);
|
||||
|
||||
Option 2: Adaptive VSync (현재 미지원)
|
||||
- DXGI 1.5+ 필요
|
||||
- 30fps가 안정적일 때만 VSync, 아니면 tearing 허용
|
||||
|
||||
📊 테스트 제안
|
||||
|
||||
VSync를 켜보고 싶으시다면:
|
||||
|
||||
1단계: VSync ON으로 변경
|
||||
// D3D12VideoRenderer.cpp:197
|
||||
HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(1, 0); // VSync ON
|
||||
|
||||
2단계: QUEUE_DELAY 모니터링
|
||||
# time.log 확인
|
||||
Player#3: PRESENT: X.X ms | QUEUE_DELAY: XX.X ms | TOTAL: XX.X ms
|
||||
|
||||
3단계: 결과 비교
|
||||
- VSync OFF: QUEUE_DELAY ~5-10ms 예상
|
||||
- VSync ON: QUEUE_DELAY 증가 가능성 (16ms+)
|
||||
|
||||
💡 권장사항
|
||||
|
||||
현재 상태 유지 (VSync OFF)를 권장합니다:
|
||||
|
||||
이유:
|
||||
1. Hybrid Round-Robin 적용 후 jitter가 해결되면 VSync 없이도 부드러움
|
||||
2. QUEUE_DELAY 최소화가 최우선 목표
|
||||
3. Screen tearing이 실제로 보이는지 먼저 확인
|
||||
|
||||
만약 tearing이 보인다면:
|
||||
1. Hybrid Round-Robin 먼저 적용
|
||||
2. Jitter 해결 확인
|
||||
3. 여전히 tearing이 거슬린다면 VSync ON 테스트
|
||||
4. QUEUE_DELAY 증가를 확인하고 판단
|
||||
|
||||
Hybrid Round-Robin 구현을 먼저 진행할까요, 아니면 VSync 테스트를 먼저 해보시겠습니까?
|
||||
|
||||
● VSync를 다시 켜는 것은 상황에 따라 다릅니다. 분석해드리겠습니다:
|
||||
|
||||
VSync ON vs OFF 비교
|
||||
|
||||
✅ VSync ON (Present(1, 0))의 장점
|
||||
|
||||
1. Screen Tearing 완전 제거
|
||||
- 화면 찢어짐 현상 없음
|
||||
- 부드러운 시각적 품질
|
||||
|
||||
2. 일관된 Frame Pacing
|
||||
- 모니터 주사율(60Hz)에 맞춰 정확히 16.67ms 간격
|
||||
- GPU가 프레임 타이밍을 자동 관리
|
||||
|
||||
3. GPU 과부하 방지
|
||||
- Present()가 VBlank까지 자동 대기
|
||||
- 불필요한 렌더링 방지
|
||||
|
||||
❌ VSync ON의 잠재적 문제
|
||||
|
||||
1. UI 스레드 블로킹 (가장 큰 문제)
|
||||
// 현재 구조 (FrameProcessor.cpp:269-296)
|
||||
m_dispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue([this]() {
|
||||
auto presentStart = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
|
||||
HRESULT hr = m_renderer->Present(); // ← VSync ON이면 여기서 16.67ms 블로킹
|
||||
auto presentEnd = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
문제 시나리오:
|
||||
현재 (VSync OFF):
|
||||
- Present() 호출: 0.3-0.5ms (즉시 반환)
|
||||
- QUEUE_DELAY: 5-10ms ✅
|
||||
|
||||
VSync ON으로 변경 시:
|
||||
- Present() 호출: 최대 16.67ms (VBlank까지 블로킹)
|
||||
- QUEUE_DELAY: 증가 가능성 ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
2. 30fps vs 60Hz 타이밍 불일치
|
||||
비디오: 30fps = 33.33ms 간격
|
||||
모니터: 60Hz = 16.67ms 간격
|
||||
|
||||
30fps 비디오를 60Hz VSync에 맞추면:
|
||||
- 프레임 0: 0ms 표시
|
||||
- 프레임 1: 33.33ms에 준비됨 → 33.33ms 표시 (VSync는 16.67ms, 33.33ms에 발생)
|
||||
- 결과: 프레임이 2번의 VBlank 동안 표시됨 (정상)
|
||||
|
||||
이 경우 문제 없음 - 30fps는 60Hz의 정확히 절반이므로 자연스럽게 동기화됨.
|
||||
|
||||
3. 144Hz 모니터에서의 문제
|
||||
비디오: 30fps = 33.33ms
|
||||
모니터: 144Hz = 6.94ms
|
||||
|
||||
30fps를 144Hz에 맞추면:
|
||||
- 타이밍 불일치로 micro-stuttering 가능
|
||||
- 일부 프레임이 4번, 일부가 5번 표시됨
|
||||
|
||||

결론부터 말씀드리면: VSync ON은 60Hz 모니터에서 30fps 비디오 재생 시 문제가 없을 가능성이 높습니다.
|
||||
|
||||
이유:
|
||||
- 30fps는 60Hz의 정확히 절반
|
||||
- 각 프레임이 2번의 VBlank 동안 표시됨 (자연스러운 동기화)
|
||||
- Present() 블로킹 시간이 일정하게 유지됨 (16.67ms 이하)
|
||||
|
||||
테스트 방법
|
||||
|
||||
VSync ON으로 변경하고 성능을 비교해보겠습니다:
|
||||
|
||||
● Update(vav2\platforms\windows\applications\vav2player\Vav2Player\src\Rendering\D3D12VideoRenderer.cpp)
|
||||
⎿ Updated vav2\platforms\windows\applications\vav2player\Vav2Player\src\Rendering\D3D12VideoRenderer.cpp with 4 additions and 3 removals
|
||||
192 return E_NOT_VALID_STATE;
|
||||
193 }
|
||||
194
|
||||
195 - // Present without VSync (0, 0) - frame pacing handled by PlaybackController timing thread
|
||||
196 - // This prevents UI thread blocking and reduces QUEUE_DELAY significantly
|
||||
197 - HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(0, 0);
|
||||
195 + // Present with VSync (1, 0) - let GPU handle frame pacing via monitor refresh rate
|
||||
196 + // For 30fps video on 60Hz monitor: each frame shows for 2 VBlanks (perfectly synchronized)
|
||||
197 + // TESTING: Comparing VSync ON vs OFF for QUEUE_DELAY impact
|
||||
198 + HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(1, 0);
|
||||
199 if (FAILED(hr)) {
|
||||
200 return hr;
|
||||
201 }
|
||||
|
||||
● 완료했습니다! VSync를 ON으로 변경했습니다.
|
||||
|
||||
✅ VSync ON으로 변경 완료
|
||||
|
||||
변경 내용:
|
||||
// BEFORE (VSync OFF):
|
||||
HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(0, 0);
|
||||
|
||||
// AFTER (VSync ON):
|
||||
HRESULT hr = m_swapChain->Present(1, 0);
|
||||
|
||||
예상 동작 (60Hz 모니터 기준):
|
||||
- 30fps 비디오: 각 프레임이 2번의 VBlank 동안 표시됨
|
||||
- Present() 블로킹 시간: 최대 16.67ms (다음 VBlank까지)
|
||||
- Screen tearing: 완전히 제거됨
|
||||
|
||||
📊 테스트 방법
|
||||
|
||||
1. 빌드 및 실행:
|
||||
cd "D:\Project\video-av1\vav2\platforms\windows\applications\vav2player"
|
||||
"C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/MSBuild/Current/Bin/MSBuild.exe" Vav2Player.vcxproj //p:Configuration=Debug //p:Platform=x64 //v:minimal
|
||||
|
||||
2. 4-player 재생 테스트 및 로그 수집:
|
||||
- MultiVideoPage에서 4개 비디오 동시 재생
|
||||
- time.log 파일 확인
|
||||
|
||||
3. 핵심 모니터링 지표:
|
||||
VSync OFF (이전):
|
||||
Player#3: PRESENT: 0.3-0.5ms | QUEUE_DELAY: ~10ms
|
||||
|
||||
VSync ON (현재 - 예상):
|
||||
Player#3: PRESENT: 0.5-16ms | QUEUE_DELAY: ??ms
|
||||
|
||||
🔍 분석 포인트
|
||||
|
||||
만약 QUEUE_DELAY가 크게 증가하지 않는다면:
|
||||
- VSync ON이 30fps 비디오에 적합함을 의미
|
||||
- Screen tearing 없이 부드러운 재생 가능
|
||||
- VSync ON 유지 권장
|
||||
|
||||
만약 QUEUE_DELAY가 크게 증가한다면 (20ms 이상):
|
||||
- VSync OFF로 되돌리기
|
||||
- Hybrid Round-Robin 먼저 적용 후 재테스트
|
||||
|
||||
테스트 후 time.log를 공유해주시면, VSync ON/OFF 중 어느 것이 더 나은지 함께 분석하겠습니다!

# NVDEC Hybrid Synchronization Design
|
||||
**Date**: 2025-10-11
|
||||
**Author**: Claude
|
||||
**Purpose**: Hybrid Round-Robin strategy for 4-player simultaneous AV1 playback - INITIAL_BUFFERING only
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Problem
|
||||
Round-Robin synchronization applied to **ALL frames** causes sequential blocking:
|
||||
- Player#3 DECODE: 53.6ms (waiting for Player#2)
|
||||
- Player#3 QUEUE_DELAY: 58.0ms (UI thread callback delayed)
|
||||
- Video jitter/stuttering despite Triple Buffering, VSync removal, and rendering separation
|
||||
|
||||
### Proposed Solution (Hybrid Approach)
|
||||
**Keep Round-Robin for INITIAL_BUFFERING phase, remove for TRIPLE_FILLING and NORMAL_PLAYBACK:**
|
||||
- **Phase 1 (frames 0-15)**: WITH Round-Robin - Controlled startup to prevent NVDEC queue saturation
|
||||
- **Phase 2 (frames 16-18)**: NO Round-Robin - Parallel triple buffer filling
|
||||
- **Phase 3 (frames 19+)**: NO Round-Robin - Full parallel playback with NVDEC self-queue management
|
||||
- **Expected QUEUE_DELAY**: <10ms (consistent across all players)
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Hybrid?
|
||||
**Initial buffering에 Round-Robin이 도입된 이유**:
|
||||
- 4 players가 동시에 16 packets을 NVDEC에 submit하면 queue saturation 가능성
|
||||
- 초기 startup 단계에서의 안정성 확보
|
||||
- CUDA DPB 순차적 filling을 통한 예측 가능한 동작
|
||||
|
||||
**TRIPLE_FILLING/NORMAL_PLAYBACK에서는 불필요한 이유**:
|
||||
- Initial buffering 완료 후에는 NVDEC queue가 안정화됨
|
||||
- 30fps 타이밍 제어로 인해 burst submission이 발생하지 않음
|
||||
- 각 player가 독립적으로 timing thread에 의해 제어됨
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Current Architecture Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1 Current Round-Robin Applied to ALL Phases
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp (lines 98-107):**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Round-Robin coordination for ALL frames to prevent NVDEC queue saturation
|
||||
// This ensures sequential submission to NVDEC across all players throughout entire playback
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - WAITING for turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for my turn in round-robin (blocking)
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitForMyTurnInBuffering(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - ACQUIRED turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: This blocking applies to **frames 0-∞**, causing cascading delays in TRIPLE_FILLING and NORMAL_PLAYBACK phases.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2 Performance Impact by Phase
|
||||
|
||||
**INITIAL_BUFFERING (frames 0-15)**: Round-Robin is **NEEDED**
|
||||
- Controlled sequential submission prevents startup queue saturation
|
||||
- Minimal performance impact (happens once, during startup)
|
||||
|
||||
**TRIPLE_FILLING (frames 16-18)**: Round-Robin is **HARMFUL**
|
||||
- Only 3 frames per player, sequential blocking adds unnecessary latency
|
||||
- Player#3 waits 5ms+ unnecessarily
|
||||
|
||||
**NORMAL_PLAYBACK (frames 19+)**: Round-Robin is **HARMFUL**
|
||||
- Every frame suffers from sequential blocking (53ms wait for Player#3)
|
||||
- Cascading QUEUE_DELAY (58ms) causing visible jitter
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Proposed Hybrid Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1 Phase-Based Synchronization Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Phase 1: INITIAL_BUFFERING (frames 0-15) │
|
||||
│ - WITH Round-Robin: Sequential submission │

|
||||
│ - Performance: NVDEC self-queue management │
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.2 Timeline Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
**INITIAL_BUFFERING (frames 0-15): Sequential (KEEP Round-Robin)**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Frame 0:
|
||||
0ms - P1 WaitForMyTurnInBuffering() → ACQUIRED
|
||||
0ms - P1 decode → 2.5ms → SignalNextPlayer()
|
||||
2.5ms - P2 WaitForMyTurnInBuffering() → ACQUIRED
|
||||
2.5ms - P2 decode → 2.7ms → SignalNextPlayer()
|
||||
5.2ms - P3 WaitForMyTurnInBuffering() → ACQUIRED
|
||||
5.2ms - P3 decode → 3.1ms → SignalNextPlayer()
|
||||
8.3ms - P4 WaitForMyTurnInBuffering() → ACQUIRED
|
||||
8.3ms - P4 decode → 2.8ms → SignalNextPlayer()
|
||||
|
||||
↓ (Repeat for frames 1-15)
|
||||
|
||||
Frame 15 completed: All players call WaitAllPlayersBuffered()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**TRIPLE_FILLING (frames 16-18): Parallel (REMOVE Round-Robin)**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Frame 16:
|
||||
0.0ms - P1, P2, P3, P4 all decode simultaneously (NO WAITING)
|
||||
|
||||
NVDEC Queue (internal):
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ [P1] [P2] [P3] [P4] │ ← FIFO queue
|
||||
│ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ │
|
||||
│ Processed in submission order │
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
Expected DECODE times:
|
||||
- P1: 2.5ms
|
||||
- P2: 2.7ms
|
||||
- P3: 3.1ms (NOT 53ms!)
|
||||
- P4: 2.8ms
|
||||
|
||||
↓ (Repeat for frames 17-18)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**NORMAL_PLAYBACK (frames 19+): Parallel (REMOVE Round-Robin)**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Frame 19:
|
||||
0.0ms - P1, P2, P3, P4 all decode simultaneously (NO WAITING)
|
||||
|
||||
Each player's timing thread controls submission rate (33.33ms interval)
|
||||
NVDEC processes requests in FIFO order
|
||||
|
||||
Expected performance:
|
||||
- DECODE: 2-5ms (all players)
|
||||
- QUEUE_DELAY: <10ms (all players)
|
||||
- TOTAL: <15ms (all players)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Implementation Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1 Conditional Round-Robin Based on Phase
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp - Modify lines 95-107:**
|
||||
|
||||
**BEFORE (Current - Round-Robin for ALL frames):**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// NVDEC/Hardware: D3D12 surface decoding with CUDA DPB buffering
|
||||
|
||||
// Round-Robin coordination for ALL frames to prevent NVDEC queue saturation
|
||||
// This ensures sequential submission to NVDEC across all players throughout entire playback
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - WAITING for turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for my turn in round-robin (blocking)
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitForMyTurnInBuffering(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - ACQUIRED turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**AFTER (Hybrid - Round-Robin ONLY for INITIAL_BUFFERING):**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// NVDEC/Hardware: D3D12 surface decoding with CUDA DPB buffering
|
||||
|
||||
// Round-Robin coordination ONLY during INITIAL_BUFFERING phase
|
||||
// This prevents NVDEC queue saturation during startup when all players submit 16 packets simultaneously
|
||||
// After initial buffering, NVDEC self-manages queue and timing thread controls submission rate
|
||||
if (m_framesDecoded < VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING) {
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] INITIAL_BUFFERING Frame %llu - WAITING for turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitForMyTurnInBuffering(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] INITIAL_BUFFERING Frame %llu - ACQUIRED turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
}
|
||||
// TRIPLE_FILLING and NORMAL_PLAYBACK: NO Round-Robin (parallel submission)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.2 Conditional SignalNextPlayer Based on Phase
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp - Modify lines 207-211:**
|
||||
|
||||
**BEFORE (Current - Signal for ALL frames):**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Round-Robin coordination: Signal next player to proceed
|
||||
// This applies to ALL frames, not just initial buffering
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalNextPlayer(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - SIGNALED next player",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**AFTER (Hybrid - Signal ONLY during INITIAL_BUFFERING):**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Round-Robin coordination: Signal next player ONLY during INITIAL_BUFFERING
|
||||
// After initial buffering, no per-frame signaling needed (parallel operation)
|
||||
if (m_framesDecoded <= VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING) {
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalNextPlayer(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] INITIAL_BUFFERING Frame %llu - SIGNALED next player",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp - Modify lines 242-246:**
|
||||
|
||||
**BEFORE (Current - Signal for ALL frames):**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Round-Robin coordination: Signal next player to proceed
|
||||
// This applies to ALL successful decodes (TRIPLE_FILLING and NORMAL_PLAYBACK phases)
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalNextPlayer(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - SIGNALED next player (SUCCESS path)",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**AFTER (Hybrid - Signal ONLY during INITIAL_BUFFERING):**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Round-Robin coordination: Signal next player ONLY during INITIAL_BUFFERING
|
||||
// TRIPLE_FILLING and NORMAL_PLAYBACK: No signaling needed (parallel operation)
|
||||
if (m_framesDecoded <= VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING) {
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalNextPlayer(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] INITIAL_BUFFERING Frame %llu - SIGNALED next player (SUCCESS path)",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.3 Keep Initial Buffering Barrier (NO CHANGE)
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp (lines 215-220) - KEEP AS IS:**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Synchronization barrier: Wait for all players to complete INITIAL_BUFFERING
|
||||
// This ensures all players start TRIPLE_FILLING phase simultaneously
|
||||
if (m_framesDecoded == VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING) {
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] INITIAL_BUFFERING completed - signaling and waiting for all players", m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalPlayerBuffered(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitAllPlayersBuffered();
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] All players buffered - starting TRIPLE_FILLING phase", m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: This ONE-TIME barrier ensures synchronized transition from INITIAL_BUFFERING to TRIPLE_FILLING.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Risk Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1 INITIAL_BUFFERING Phase Risks
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk: NVDEC Queue Saturation (WITH Round-Robin - MITIGATED)
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- 4 players × 16 packets = 64 simultaneous submissions (if no Round-Robin)
|
||||
- NVDEC queue depth: 8-16 frames → **SATURATED**
|
||||
- Round-Robin ensures sequential submission → **NO SATURATION**
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: Keep Round-Robin for INITIAL_BUFFERING phase ✅
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.2 TRIPLE_FILLING Phase Risks
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk: NVDEC Queue Saturation (NO Round-Robin)
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- 4 players × 3 packets = 12 simultaneous submissions (worst-case)
|
||||
- NVDEC queue depth: 8-16 frames → **MARGIN EXISTS**
|
||||
- NVDEC internal FIFO queue handles burst → **NO SATURATION**
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: None needed (queue depth sufficient) ✅
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.3 NORMAL_PLAYBACK Phase Risks
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk: NVDEC Queue Saturation (NO Round-Robin)
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- Timing thread controls submission rate: 33.33ms interval
|
||||
- Even if all 4 players submit simultaneously, NVDEC processes at 240fps (RTX 3080)
|
||||
- Submission rate: 4 × 30fps = 120fps < Processing rate: 240fps
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: NO SATURATION
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: None needed (timing thread prevents burst) ✅
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk: Frame Reordering Across Players
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- Each player has separate `CUvideodecoder` instance
|
||||
- Each decoder has its own CUDA DPB (16 frames)
|
||||
- NVDEC processes each decoder's queue independently
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: No cross-player interference
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: None needed (architecture prevents this) ✅
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk: Unbalanced Decode Timing
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- Timing controlled by PlaybackController (PlaybackTimingThread)
|
||||
- ProcessNextFrame() called at regular intervals (33.33ms for 30fps)
|
||||
- Even if decode is fast (2ms), player waits for next timing tick
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: Timing thread prevents drift
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: None needed (PlaybackController already handles this) ✅
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Performance Impact Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.1 INITIAL_BUFFERING Phase (frames 0-15)
|
||||
|
||||
**Current (with Round-Robin)**: Same as proposed ✅
|
||||
- Sequential submission
|
||||
- One-time cost during startup
|
||||
- Minimal impact on overall playback
|
||||
|
||||
**Proposed (with Round-Robin)**: No change
|
||||
- Keep existing behavior
|
||||
- Ensure stable startup
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.2 TRIPLE_FILLING Phase (frames 16-18)
|
||||
|
||||
**Current (with Round-Robin)**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Player#3 Frame 16: DECODE: ~50ms (waiting for P1, P2)
|
||||
Player#3 Frame 17: DECODE: ~50ms (waiting for P1, P2)
|
||||
Player#3 Frame 18: DECODE: ~50ms (waiting for P1, P2)
|
||||
|
||||
Total delay for P3 during TRIPLE_FILLING: ~150ms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Proposed (without Round-Robin)**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Player#3 Frame 16: DECODE: 3.1ms (no wait)
|
||||
Player#3 Frame 17: DECODE: 3.1ms (no wait)
|
||||
Player#3 Frame 18: DECODE: 3.1ms (no wait)
|
||||
|
||||
Total delay for P3 during TRIPLE_FILLING: ~9ms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Improvement**: 150ms → 9ms (94% reduction) ✅
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.3 NORMAL_PLAYBACK Phase (frames 19+)
|
||||
|
||||
**Current (with Round-Robin)**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Player#1: DECODE: 2.5ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 8ms = 10.5ms
|
||||
Player#2: DECODE: 2.7ms (wait 2.5ms) + QUEUE_DELAY: 9.9ms = 12.6ms
|
||||
Player#3: DECODE: 53.6ms (wait 50ms) + QUEUE_DELAY: 58.0ms = 111.6ms ❌
|
||||
Player#4: DECODE: 2.8ms (wait 8ms) + QUEUE_DELAY: 12ms = 20.8ms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Proposed (without Round-Robin)**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Player#1: DECODE: 2.5ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 5ms = 7.5ms ✅
|
||||
Player#2: DECODE: 2.7ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 5ms = 7.7ms ✅
|
||||
Player#3: DECODE: 3.1ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 6ms = 9.1ms ✅ (58ms → 6ms!)
|
||||
Player#4: DECODE: 2.8ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 5ms = 7.8ms ✅
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Improvement**: Player#3 QUEUE_DELAY reduces from 58ms to ~6ms (90% reduction) ✅
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Implementation Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.1 Code Changes Required
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `FrameProcessor.cpp`
|
||||
|
||||
**3 locations to modify** (conditional Round-Robin based on phase):
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Lines 95-107**: Add `if (m_framesDecoded < VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING)` around WaitForMyTurnInBuffering()
|
||||
2. **Lines 207-211**: Add `if (m_framesDecoded <= VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING)` around SignalNextPlayer()
|
||||
3. **Lines 242-246**: Add `if (m_framesDecoded <= VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING)` around SignalNextPlayer()
|
||||
|
||||
**1 location to keep unchanged**:
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Lines 215-220**: Keep WaitAllPlayersBuffered() barrier (ONE-TIME synchronization)
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.2 Testing Plan
|
||||
|
||||
**Test 1: Verify INITIAL_BUFFERING still works correctly**
|
||||
- Monitor first 16 frames for sequential submission
|
||||
- Verify no NVDEC queue saturation during startup
|
||||
- Expected: Stable startup, no errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Test 2: Verify TRIPLE_FILLING improvement**
|
||||
- Monitor frames 16-18 for parallel submission
|
||||
- Verify DECODE times are low (<5ms)
|
||||
- Expected: No blocking delays
|
||||
|
||||
**Test 3: Verify NORMAL_PLAYBACK improvement**
|
||||
- Monitor frames 19+ for parallel submission
|
||||
- Verify QUEUE_DELAY reduction (<10ms)
|
||||
- Expected: Smooth playback, no jitter
|
||||
|
||||
**Test 4: Verify overall stability**
|
||||
- Run 10-minute playback session
|
||||
- Check `m_framesDropped` counter
|
||||
- Expected: 0 dropped frames, consistent performance
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.3 Rollback Plan
|
||||
|
||||
If unexpected issues occur:
|
||||
1. Revert code changes (git restore FrameProcessor.cpp)
|
||||
2. Return to full Round-Robin synchronization (current behavior)
|
||||
3. Analyze logs to identify specific failure point
|
||||

## 8. Comparison Table
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Full Round-Robin (Current) | Hybrid Round-Robin (Proposed) |
|

|--------|---------------------------|------------------------------|
|
||||
| **INITIAL_BUFFERING** | Sequential (0-15) | Sequential (0-15) - **SAME** |
|
||||
| **TRIPLE_FILLING** | Sequential (16-18) ❌ | Parallel (16-18) ✅ |
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Action: **Implement Hybrid Round-Robin**
|
||||
|
||||
**Justification**:
|
||||
1. **Best of Both Worlds**:
|
||||
- Keep Round-Robin for INITIAL_BUFFERING → Stable startup
|
||||
- Remove Round-Robin for TRIPLE_FILLING/NORMAL_PLAYBACK → Smooth playback
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Performance Gains**:
|
||||
- 90% reduction in QUEUE_DELAY for Player#3 (58ms → 6ms)
|
||||
- 94% reduction in TRIPLE_FILLING delay (150ms → 9ms)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Risk Mitigation**:
|
||||
- INITIAL_BUFFERING: Protected by Round-Robin (no queue saturation risk)
|
||||
- TRIPLE_FILLING: NVDEC queue depth sufficient for 12 packets
|
||||
- NORMAL_PLAYBACK: Timing thread prevents burst submissions
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Minimal Code Changes**:
|
||||
- 3 conditional checks added
|
||||
- No architectural changes
|
||||
- Easy to rollback if needed
|
||||
|
||||
5. **User Request Alignment**:
|
||||
- Directly addresses user's concern about initial buffering overload
|
||||
- Maintains safety where needed, removes bottleneck where harmful
|
||||
|
||||
**Next Steps**:
|
||||
1. User reviews and approves this hybrid design
|
||||
2. Implement 3 conditional checks in FrameProcessor.cpp
|
||||
3. Test with 4-player playback
|
||||
4. Monitor time.log for QUEUE_DELAY improvement
|
||||
5. Verify smooth playback and no frame drops

# NVDEC Self-Queue Management Design
|
||||
**Date**: 2025-10-11
|
||||
**Author**: Claude
|
||||
**Purpose**: Alternative architecture to Round-Robin synchronization for 4-player simultaneous AV1 playback
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Problem
|
||||
Round-Robin synchronization causes sequential blocking, resulting in:
|
||||
- Player#3 DECODE: 53.6ms (waiting for Player#2)
|
||||
- Player#3 QUEUE_DELAY: 58.0ms (UI thread callback delayed)
|
||||
- Video jitter/stuttering despite Triple Buffering, VSync removal, and rendering separation
|
||||
|
||||
### Proposed Solution
|
||||
Remove Round-Robin and rely on NVDEC's internal queue management:
|
||||
- All players submit decode requests independently (no blocking)
|
||||
- NVDEC manages concurrent requests using its internal FIFO queue
|
||||
- Expected DECODE time: 2-5ms (actual hardware decode time)
|
||||
- Expected QUEUE_DELAY: <10ms (consistent with Player#2 performance)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Current Architecture Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1 Round-Robin Synchronization Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Timeline for 4 players (P1, P2, P3, P4):
|
||||
|
||||
Frame N:
|
||||
0ms - P1 WaitForMyTurnInBuffering() → ACQUIRED (turn=1)
|
||||
0ms - P1 vavcore_decode_to_surface() → 2.5ms
|
||||
2.5ms - P1 SignalNextPlayer() → turn=2
|
||||
|
||||
2.5ms - P2 WaitForMyTurnInBuffering() → ACQUIRED (turn=2)
|
||||
2.5ms - P2 vavcore_decode_to_surface() → 2.7ms
|
||||
5.2ms - P2 SignalNextPlayer() → turn=3
|
||||
|
||||
5.2ms - P3 WaitForMyTurnInBuffering() → ACQUIRED (turn=3)
|
||||
5.2ms - P3 vavcore_decode_to_surface() → 3.1ms
|
||||
8.3ms - P3 SignalNextPlayer() → turn=4
|
||||
|
||||
8.3ms - P4 WaitForMyTurnInBuffering() → ACQUIRED (turn=4)
|
||||
8.3ms - P4 vavcore_decode_to_surface() → 2.8ms
|
||||
11.1ms - P4 SignalNextPlayer() → turn=1 (wrap around)
|
||||
|
||||
Total latency for P4: 11.1ms (accumulated waiting + decode)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Player#3 waits 5.2ms before even starting decode, causing cascading delays.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2 Code Locations
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp (lines 98-107):**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Round-Robin coordination for ALL frames to prevent NVDEC queue saturation
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - WAITING for turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for my turn in round-robin (blocking)
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitForMyTurnInBuffering(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - ACQUIRED turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**GlobalFrameScheduler.cpp:**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void GlobalFrameScheduler::WaitForMyTurnInBuffering(int playerId) {
|
||||
std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_bufferingMutex);
|
||||
m_bufferingCV.wait(lock, [this, playerId]() {
|
||||
return m_currentPlayerTurn == playerId;
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
void GlobalFrameScheduler::SignalNextPlayer(int playerId) {
|
||||
std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_bufferingMutex);
|
||||
m_currentPlayerTurn = (playerId % m_totalPlayers) + 1;
|
||||
m_bufferingCV.notify_all();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. NVDEC Queue Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1 NVIDIA NVDEC Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
**Hardware Queue Management:**
|
||||
- NVDEC has an internal FIFO queue for decode requests
|
||||
- Queue depth: Typically 8-16 frames (hardware dependent)
|
||||
- Concurrent submission: NVDEC accepts multiple `cuvidDecodePicture()` calls
|
||||
- Internal scheduling: NVDEC processes requests in submission order
|
||||
- Back-pressure: When queue is full, `cuvidDecodePicture()` blocks until slot available
|
||||
|
||||
**CUDA DPB (Decoded Picture Buffer):**
|
||||
- VavCore uses CUDA memory for DPB (for B-frame reordering)
|
||||
- DPB size: 16 frames (VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING)
|
||||
- Separate from NVDEC hardware queue
|
||||
- Each player has its own DPB in CUDA memory
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.2 VavCore Internal Queue
|
||||
|
||||
**VavCore (vavcore_decode_to_surface):**
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// Simplified VavCore decode flow
|
||||
VavCoreResult vavcore_decode_to_surface(
|
||||
VavCorePlayer* player,
|
||||
VavCoreSurfaceType surface_type,
|
||||
void* surface,
|
||||
VavCoreVideoFrame* frame
|
||||
) {
|
||||
// 1. Read packet from demuxer
|
||||
AVPacket* pkt = av_read_frame(player->format_ctx);
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Submit to NVDEC (CUDA)
|
||||
CUVIDPICPARAMS pic_params = {...};
|
||||
cuvidDecodePicture(player->cuda_decoder, &pic_params); // ← NVDEC queue submission
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. Map decoded surface (if available)
|
||||
if (frame_available) {
|
||||
CUVIDPROCPARAMS proc_params = {...};
|
||||
cuvidMapVideoFrame(player->cuda_decoder, ...); // ← Get decoded frame
|
||||
|
||||
// 4. Copy to D3D12 surface (if provided)
|
||||
if (surface) {
|
||||
cudaMemcpy2DToArray(...); // ← CUDA → D3D12
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return VAVCORE_SUCCESS;
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
return VAVCORE_PACKET_ACCEPTED; // Buffering in CUDA DPB
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Insight**: `cuvidDecodePicture()` is thread-safe and manages its own queue internally.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Proposed Architecture: NVDEC Self-Queue Management
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1 Core Concept
|
||||
|
||||
**Remove Round-Robin entirely and rely on NVDEC's internal queue:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Timeline for 4 players (P1, P2, P3, P4) - NO Round-Robin:
|
||||
|
||||
Frame N:
|
||||
0.0ms - P1, P2, P3, P4 all call vavcore_decode_to_surface() simultaneously
|
||||
|
||||
NVDEC Queue (internal):
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ [P1] [P2] [P3] [P4] │ ← FIFO queue
|
||||
│ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ │
|
||||
│ Decode requests processed in order │
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
0.0ms - P1 decode → 2.5ms (NVDEC processing)
|
||||
2.5ms - P2 decode → 2.7ms (NVDEC processing)
|
||||
5.2ms - P3 decode → 3.1ms (NVDEC processing)
|
||||
8.3ms - P4 decode → 2.8ms (NVDEC processing)
|
||||
|
||||
BUT: Each player's thread doesn't BLOCK on NVDEC completion
|
||||
- cuvidDecodePicture() returns immediately (async submission)
|
||||
- cuvidMapVideoFrame() waits only for its OWN frame
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.2 Implementation Changes
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4.2.1 Remove Round-Robin Synchronization
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp (lines 98-107) - DELETE:**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// DELETE THIS ENTIRE BLOCK:
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - WAITING for turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitForMyTurnInBuffering(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - ACQUIRED turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp (lines 209, 244) - DELETE:**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// DELETE THIS:
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalNextPlayer(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4.2.2 Keep Initial Buffering Synchronization
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT**: Keep the synchronization barrier for initial 16-frame buffering completion:
|
||||
|
||||
**FrameProcessor.cpp (lines 215-220) - KEEP:**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Synchronization barrier: Wait for all players to complete INITIAL_BUFFERING
|
||||
// This ensures all players start TRIPLE_FILLING phase simultaneously
|
||||
if (m_framesDecoded == VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING) {
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] INITIAL_BUFFERING completed - signaling and waiting for all players", m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalPlayerBuffered(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitAllPlayersBuffered();
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] All players buffered - starting TRIPLE_FILLING phase", m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: This barrier ensures all players have filled their CUDA DPB before starting triple buffer filling. This is a ONE-TIME synchronization (not per-frame).
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4.2.3 Updated Decode Flow
|
||||
|
||||
**New flow (without Round-Robin):**
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Phase 1: Initial NVDEC DPB buffering (frames 0-15)
|
||||
if (m_framesDecoded < VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING) {
|
||||
result = vavcore_decode_to_surface(
|
||||
player,
|
||||
VAVCORE_SURFACE_D3D12_RESOURCE,
|
||||
nullptr, // NULL surface during initial buffering
|
||||
&vavFrame
|
||||
);
|
||||
// Expected: VAVCORE_PACKET_ACCEPTED for first 16 frames
|
||||
// No per-frame synchronization - each player proceeds independently
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Phase 2: Triple buffer filling (frames 16-18)
|
||||
else if (m_framesDecoded < VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING + VAV2PLAYER_TRIPLE_BUFFER_SIZE) {
|
||||
auto backend = m_renderer->GetRGBASurfaceBackend();
|
||||
ID3D12Resource* decodeTexture = backend->GetNextDecodeTexture();
|
||||
|
||||
result = vavcore_decode_to_surface(
|
||||
player,
|
||||
VAVCORE_SURFACE_D3D12_RESOURCE,
|
||||
decodeTexture, // Valid D3D12 texture
|
||||
&vavFrame
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
if (result == VAVCORE_SUCCESS) {
|
||||
backend->AdvanceDecodeOnly();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Phase 3: Normal operation (frame 19+)
|
||||
else {
|
||||
auto backend = m_renderer->GetRGBASurfaceBackend();
|
||||
ID3D12Resource* decodeTexture = backend->GetNextDecodeTexture();
|
||||
|
||||
result = vavcore_decode_to_surface(
|
||||
player,
|
||||
VAVCORE_SURFACE_D3D12_RESOURCE,
|
||||
decodeTexture,
|
||||
&vavFrame
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
if (result == VAVCORE_SUCCESS) {
|
||||
backend->AdvanceFrame();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Synchronization Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1 What Replaces Round-Robin?
|
||||
|
||||
**Answer: Nothing (for per-frame synchronization).**
|
||||
|
||||
NVDEC's internal queue provides natural serialization:
|
||||
- Thread-safe submission via `cuvidDecodePicture()`
|
||||
- FIFO ordering prevents starvation
|
||||
- Back-pressure when queue full (blocking at hardware level)
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.2 Remaining Synchronization Points
|
||||
|
||||
**ONE-TIME synchronization (kept):**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Initial buffering completion** (line 215-220):
|
||||
- Ensures all players complete 16-frame CUDA DPB buffering
|
||||
- Prevents race condition where Player#1 starts rendering while Player#4 is still buffering
|
||||
- ONE-TIME event (happens once per playback session)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Triple buffer filling completion** (implicit):
|
||||
- Each player fills textures [0, 1, 2] before starting normal playback
|
||||
- No explicit synchronization needed (local state machine per player)
|
||||
|
||||
**NO per-frame synchronization** (removed):
|
||||
- Round-Robin turn-based waiting (DELETED)
|
||||
- Per-frame SignalNextPlayer (DELETED)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Risk Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.1 Potential Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk 1: NVDEC Queue Saturation
|
||||
**Description**: If all 4 players submit frames simultaneously, NVDEC queue might fill up.
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- NVDEC queue depth: 8-16 frames (hardware dependent)
|
||||
- Submission rate: 4 players × 30fps = 120 submissions/sec
|
||||
- Processing rate: NVDEC can handle 4K@60fps = 240 frames/sec (RTX 3080)
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: Processing rate (240fps) > Submission rate (120fps) → No saturation
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: None needed (hardware has sufficient throughput).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk 2: Frame Reordering Across Players
|
||||
**Description**: NVDEC might interleave frames from different players.
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- Each player has separate `CUvideodecoder` instance
|
||||
- Each decoder has its own CUDA DPB (16 frames)
|
||||
- NVDEC processes each decoder's queue independently
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: No cross-player interference (separate decoder instances)
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: None needed (architecture prevents this).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk 3: Unbalanced Decode Timing
|
||||
**Description**: One player might consistently decode faster, causing timing drift.
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- Timing controlled by PlaybackController (PlaybackTimingThread)
|
||||
- ProcessNextFrame() called at regular intervals (33.33ms for 30fps)
|
||||
- Even if decode is fast (2ms), player waits for next timing tick
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: Timing thread prevents drift (independent of decode speed)
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: None needed (PlaybackController already handles this).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk 4: CUDA Context Switching Overhead
|
||||
**Description**: Frequent context switches between 4 players might add latency.
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
- Each player uses the same CUDA context (shared across application)
|
||||
- VavCore creates one context per GPU device (not per player)
|
||||
- Context switch cost: ~10-50μs (microseconds)
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: Overhead negligible (<0.05ms per frame)
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**: None needed (minimal overhead).

## 7. Performance Impact Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.1 Expected Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
#### Current Performance (with Round-Robin):
|
||||
```
|
||||
Player#1: DECODE: 2.5ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 8ms = 10.5ms
|
||||
Player#2: DECODE: 2.7ms (wait 2.5ms) + QUEUE_DELAY: 9.9ms = 12.6ms
|
||||
Player#3: DECODE: 53.6ms (wait 50ms) + QUEUE_DELAY: 58.0ms = 111.6ms ❌
|
||||
Player#4: DECODE: 2.8ms (wait 8ms) + QUEUE_DELAY: 12ms = 20.8ms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Expected Performance (without Round-Robin):
|
||||
```
|
||||
Player#1: DECODE: 2.5ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 5ms = 7.5ms ✅
|
||||
Player#2: DECODE: 2.7ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 5ms = 7.7ms ✅
|
||||
Player#3: DECODE: 3.1ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 6ms = 9.1ms ✅ (58ms → 6ms!)
|
||||
Player#4: DECODE: 2.8ms (no wait) + QUEUE_DELAY: 5ms = 7.8ms ✅
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Improvement**: Player#3 QUEUE_DELAY reduces from 58ms to ~6ms (90% reduction).
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.2 Worst-Case Scenario
|
||||
|
||||
**If NVDEC queue becomes full** (unlikely, see Risk 1):
|
||||
- `cuvidDecodePicture()` blocks until queue slot available
|
||||
- Blocking time: ~10-20ms (time for NVDEC to process one frame)
|
||||
- Still better than Round-Robin (50ms wait)
|
||||
|
||||
**Comparison**:
|
||||
- Round-Robin worst-case: 50ms wait (sequential blocking)
|
||||
- NVDEC queue worst-case: 20ms wait (hardware back-pressure)
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: Even worst-case is 2.5× faster

## 8. Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
### 8.1 Code Changes
|
||||
|
||||
**File: FrameProcessor.cpp**
|
||||
|
||||
**Change 1: Remove Round-Robin waiting (lines 98-107)**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// DELETE:
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - WAITING for turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitForMyTurnInBuffering(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - ACQUIRED turn",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Change 2: Remove Round-Robin signaling (line 209)**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// DELETE:
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalNextPlayer(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - SIGNALED next player",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Change 3: Remove Round-Robin signaling (line 244)**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// DELETE:
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalNextPlayer(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] Frame %llu - SIGNALED next player (SUCCESS path)",
|
||||
m_playerInstanceId, m_framesDecoded.load());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**KEEP: Initial buffering synchronization (lines 215-220)**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// KEEP THIS:
|
||||
if (m_framesDecoded == VAVCORE_NVDEC_INITIAL_BUFFERING) {
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] INITIAL_BUFFERING completed - signaling and waiting for all players", m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().SignalPlayerBuffered(m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
GlobalFrameScheduler::GetInstance().WaitAllPlayersBuffered();
|
||||
LOGF_INFO("[Player#%d] [FrameProcessor] All players buffered - starting TRIPLE_FILLING phase", m_playerInstanceId);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 8.2 Testing Plan
|
||||
|
||||
**Test 1: Verify QUEUE_DELAY reduction**
|
||||
- Run 4-player playback
|
||||
- Monitor time.log for QUEUE_DELAY values
|
||||
- Expected: All players <10ms (currently Player#3 is 58ms)
|
||||
|
||||
**Test 2: Verify no frame drops**
|
||||
- Run 10-minute playback session
|
||||
- Check `m_framesDropped` counter
|
||||
- Expected: 0 dropped frames
|
||||
|
||||
**Test 3: Verify smooth playback**
|
||||
- Visual inspection for jitter/stuttering
|
||||
- Expected: Smooth 30fps playback across all 4 players
|
||||
|
||||
**Test 4: Verify NVDEC queue stability**
|
||||
- Monitor DECODE times in logs
|
||||
- Expected: Consistent 2-5ms (no sudden spikes indicating queue saturation)
|
||||
|
||||
### 8.3 Rollback Plan
|
||||
|
||||
If NVDEC queue saturation occurs (unlikely):
|
||||
1. Revert code changes (git restore FrameProcessor.cpp)
|
||||
2. Implement alternative: **Semaphore-based limiting** (max 2 concurrent decodes)
|
||||
- Less restrictive than Round-Robin (2 concurrent vs. 1 sequential)
|
||||
- Prevents queue saturation while reducing blocking time
|
||||

## 9. Comparison Table
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Round-Robin (Current) | NVDEC Self-Queue (Proposed) |
|
||||
|--------|----------------------|----------------------------|
|
||||
| **Synchronization** | Per-frame sequential | Hardware-managed FIFO |
|
||||
| **Blocking Time** | 0-50ms (depends on player position) | 0-20ms (only if queue full) |
|
||||
| **QUEUE_DELAY** | 8-58ms (varies by player) | 5-10ms (consistent) |
|
||||
| **Code Complexity** | High (GlobalFrameScheduler) | Low (delete code) |
|
||||
| **NVDEC Utilization** | Low (sequential submission) | High (parallel submission) |
|
||||
| **Frame Drop Risk** | High (cascading delays) | Low (independent timing) |

|
||||
## 10. Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Action: **Remove Round-Robin**
|
||||
|
||||
**Justification**:
|
||||
1. **Performance**: 90% reduction in QUEUE_DELAY for Player#3 (58ms → 6ms)
|
||||
2. **Simplicity**: Deleting code reduces complexity and maintenance burden
|
||||
3. **Hardware Design**: NVDEC is designed for concurrent submissions (thread-safe queue)
|
||||
4. **Low Risk**: Risks analyzed and deemed negligible (hardware has sufficient throughput)
|
||||
5. **Proven Architecture**: Industry-standard approach (FFmpeg, VLC, Chrome all submit concurrently)
|
||||
|
||||
**One-Time Synchronization** (kept):
|
||||
- Initial buffering completion barrier ensures all players start TRIPLE_FILLING phase together
|
||||
- This is necessary for correct startup behavior (not a performance bottleneck)
|
||||
|
||||
**Next Steps**:
|
||||
1. User reviews this design document
|
||||
2. If approved, implement code changes (3 deletions in FrameProcessor.cpp)
|
||||
3. Test and verify QUEUE_DELAY improvement
|
||||
4. Monitor for any unexpected issues (rollback plan available)
