Sky using all your CPU? It's more likely than you think.

I wrote this in a comment on a Reddit post of someone complaining that Sky isn't using their GPU properly and that it's stuttering for them. However, it's detailed enough that I feel like it deserves its own post in this blog. As always, this is a very technical post. But if you like seeing how games work behind the scenes, then this might be for you.

There are many reasons why Sky doesn't use your GPU as much compared to other games. It's actually a common issue in many games, and while the general reasoning is the same, the details of it can vary. The short version is that it uses the CPU a whole lot more than your GPU. Hence, it's not using a lot of power because increasing it won't have much of an effect. The bottleneck isn't on GPU speed, and that's what higher power draw tries to address. It also does most of its work on one thread, which means that it won't display a high CPU usage, as that counts work done on all logical processors. The long version is a technical explanation of how Sky was designed and the resulting implementation decisions that were done because of it.

Disclaimer: I cannot confirm these because I do not have access to Sky's source code. All of these are hypotheses based on the game's visible behavior and general development decision making.

Long version below the cut. (This isn't in the actual comment, but this is a blog post. Come on now.)

A lot of things that Sky does is CPU-bound. As an example, unless it's been updated along with the AURORA concert which used GPU-bound procedural animations, the animations of the butterflies are done on the CPU. They created the butterfly animation system long before the AURORA concert, and with only around 80 butterflies at any given time instead of 100 thousand, it doesn't make sense to go through the trouble of making their animations run on the GPU. Stuff that requires network requests to do (e.g.: forging candles, buying spirit items, etc.) are also done on the CPU because there's no way for it to be done on the GPU. This means that unless you have a weak GPU, your CPU usually dictates the frame rate of Sky.

As an additional point, Sky does not have a lot of advanced rendering features which will use the GPU more. Remember that Sky was first designed for iOS as a casual, social game. While the option for adding advanced rendering techniques like raytracing and HDR rendering are available, doing so used more power, which isn't good for a mobile game that you play with friends. Sure, you can play it with the phone plugged and have no issues with it running out of power, but that's not as fun as playing it with your friends around you. As such, there's not a lot of tasks for the GPU to run, reducing its power usage.

Sky also does not run some things asynchronously, even if it could. What this means is that, instead of performing some tasks in a separate thread, it does them in a single thread. This means that what really matters most for Sky is single-core performance rather than multi-core performance. It's not completely single-threaded; you can see that it uses more than one logical processor when you open Task Manager. However, it's not using multithreading to its maximum capability. In particular, it does not load resources asynchronously.

Asynchronous resource loading just means that resources (e.g.: models, terrain data, textures, etc.) are loaded in a background thread, allowing the main thread to continue updating the game and continuing rendering. You can tell this behavior is happening because, when you switch areas, the game becomes unresponsive for a moment while it's loading the next area. The main thread is occupied with loading the resources, which means that it's not responding to window events and it's not rendering anything. This could actually be the reason for some stuttering that happens. When the game tries to load something, it will freeze because the game stops doing any updates and renders. I don't think this happens a lot — Sky seems to always load all resources it will need for an area when you enter it — but it's a possibility.

Because the GPU isn't being used as much, it's also not drawing as much power as other games. Doing so would just be wasteful since it'll still do just as much work for higher power usage, lowering its utilization. Better to have lower power draw but higher utilization since that gives you more power efficiency, which is beneficial for a laptop.

There's not much you can do to improve Sky's performance in this case. A lot of the bottlenecks here are on Sky's implementation rather than its settings. Most you can do is lower the game's target frame rate down to 30 FPS, but that's not going to help much. Frame rate limiting is generally done to reduce GPU load, not CPU. Plus, gaming in 30 FPS nowadays generally isn't desirable. It's still in the realm of "playable", but I wouldn't recommend playing in 30 FPS unless there's a specific reason to.

Like the whole "DOOM runs on anything" meme is funny sure but technically you can run any program on any machine that has the processor, memory, and storage space for it. You may need to tweak some thing here and there to get it fully operational but really that's mostly what it hinges on.

I turned my windows netbook into a Debian server and then turned *that* into cloud-based storage I could dump and share and run any files I wanted to off my internet connection when I was in college by tying an external hard drive to it using an always-on connection. I still technically have the hard drive but I sold the netbook a long time ago. I also turned my MacBook from college into an always-on minecraft server for my college friends before Microsoft decided to give us actual multi-player support.

I also turned my MacBook into a windows OS emulator when I wanted to game because I got annoyed that Mac ports are usually poopoobad quality. So I would turn my MacBook on and then load up my windows os inside of the Mac os and then actually load the game.

Like yeah I went to school for programming but I actually learned how to do most of that as a kid because my dad had a computer that had no GUI, it was all command prompt and DOS. There are times when my current windows computers are annoying me because they won't do the thing I told them to do so I load up dos and then effectively go "I wasn't asking" at it.

Roleplay Ramblings: Alien Anatomy and Equipment part 3

(art taken from Alien Archive 1, credit goes to the original artist)

Interfaces

Computers are a big part of most galactic civilizations, what with such processors being required to control starships, vehicles, advanced machines, and of course, are an integral part of all but the simplest comm units.

But while most humanoids are quite comfortable with touchpads, keyboards, and either physical or holographic screens or headsets, others might struggle with them. Which is where we’ll begin, like yesterday, breaking down things be a few useful example species.

Going back to Bantrids, the immediate thing we have to consider is the fact that a bantrid requires constant movement to feel safe and at ease. A computer console for them must have a mini treadmill for them to roll on while they use it, for example. Furthermore, because their grasper tendrils are so close to where their eyes are, I imagine they already have an acute ability to focus on objects very close to their eyes, but for protection from bright screen, most probably prefer portable computers that project their displays holographically away from their bodies.

Meanwhile, most vehicles built for bantrids likely are steered by the bantrids’s own motion on a treadmill that they are locked into place on top of, which things like gearshift and consol controls being bult near the top of their bodies near both pairs of tendrils, making for a pilot seat that is very enclosed, likely with a wide glass front for maximum visibility.

While this is probably true for all psychic species, the physical difficulties that contemplatives have make physical controls undesirable, causing them to favor psychic control methods instead, with computers that have built in telepathic interfaces which may display output either physically or mentally, depend on preference and what other species need to use them. Similarly, they would favor vehicles with the same sort of interfaces.

On that note, how do you design an interface for a creature a creature that cannot see at all? Khizar are telepathic, but they lack sight, relying on vibration and life-sensing to get around, and even those are relatively short range. As such, displays for them, including vehicles, need to have a 360 degree sensory suit that projects a map of spoofed vibrational and life signatures in order to give context to what the computer is controlling or what is around the vehicle.

Meanwhile, beings of living plasma like novians need computers that are sensitive to the arcing energy tethers that are effectively their “limbs” while also being resistant to the damage prolonged exposure to those discharges (and their body heat) could do to most electronics.

Also, consider the two giants of biotech, the barathu and the raxilites. Raxilites in particular focus on engineered plants, creating living starships that resemble giant plants or even whole forests. Consider how such biotech might interface with the user, with things like direct sensory linkage, pheromonal messages, and the like.

Consider also that Raxilites almost certainly use miniaturized personal computers with holographic displays capable of projecting both fine images for their convenience and larger ones when they need to display for others.

As silicon-based life forms that prefer to preserve energy whenever possible, urogs most likely prefer computers with voice commands and subtle mental controls, but also possess manual controls for high-energy moments when physical action is needed. Imaging an urog grabbing the yoke of a starship or flying vessel in their dexterous manipulator trunk and steering with it.

Consider also how multi-tentacled races like scyphozoans and vilderaro would set up their computer consoles, perhaps with keyboards that nearly wrap around them, as well as multiple screens to feed their multiple receptors.

Finally, consider the modular computers that would be used by vlaka. Congenital blindness and deafness are common in this species, so building computers with tactile controls and non-audible interfaces would be paramount, especially switches that could be toggled manually when a device is transferred between users without navigating menus would be important, allowing the user to be able to access different options and accessibility options on the fly to suit their needs.

I think that will do for today, but tomorrow we’ll be stepping away from technology to focus on how different species would use magic in unique ways.

In the 1960s, computer scientists invented machines with more than one processor, so they really could do two things (or more) simultaneously. They called this machine power “multi-tasking.” Then we took the concept and applied it to ourselves.

…Some scientists…believed it was possible for people to do several complex tasks at once. So they started to get people into labs, and they told them to do lots of things at the same time, and they monitored how well it went. What the scientists discovered is that, in fact, when people think they’re doing several things at once, they’re actually—as [Professor Earl Miller, neuroscientist from MIT] explained—“juggling. They’re switching back and forth. They don’t notice the switching because their brain sort of papers it over, to give a seamless experience of consciousness, but what they’re actually doing is switching and reconfiguring their brain moment to moment, task to task—and that comes with a cost.��

There are three ways, he explained, in which this constant switching degrades your ability to focus. The first is called the “switch cost effect.” There is broad scientific evidence for this. Imagine you are doing your tax return and you receive a text, and you look at it—it’s only a glance, taking five seconds—and then you go back to your tax return. In that moment, “your brain has to reconfigure, when it goes from one task to another,” he said. You have to remember what you were doing before, and you have to remember what you thought about it, “and that takes a little bit of time.” When this happens, the evidence shows that “your performance drops. You’re slower. All as a result of the switching.”

So if you check your texts often while trying to work, you aren’t only losing the little bursts of time you spend looking at the texts—you are also losing the time it takes to refocus afterward, which can be much longer. He said: “If you’re spending a lot of your time not really thinking, but wasting it on switching, that’s just wasted brain-processing time.” This means that if your Screen Time shows you are using your phone four hours a day, you are losing much more time than that in lost focus.

When Earl said this, I thought, yes, but it must be a small effect, a tiny drag on your attention. But when I went and read the relevant research, I learned there is some science suggesting the effect can be surprisingly large. For example, a small study commissioned by Hewlett-Packard looked at the IQ of some of their workers in two situations. At first they tested their IQ when they were not being distracted or interrupted. Then they tested their IQ when they were receiving emails and phone calls. The study found that “technological distraction”—just getting emails and phone calls—caused a drop in the workers’ IQ by an average of ten points. To give you a sense of how big that is: in the short term, that’s twice the knock to your IQ that you get when you smoke cannabis. So this suggests, in terms of being able to get your work done, you’d be better off getting stoned at your desk than checking your texts and Facebook messages a lot.

At its core, sustainability entails, “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the next generation.” This all-encompassing concept involves the harmonious integration of environmental, social, governance, and economic considerations. From the responsible use of natural resources to the ethical treatment of workers, sustainability aims to minimise negative impacts throughout the production process, ensuring the well-being of future generations. The complexity of the multi-layered fashion industry’s supply chains cannot be underestimated. The journey of a single product involves an intricate network of suppliers, ranging from raw material producers and processors to certifying bodies, subcontractors, logistics providers, and retail outlets, before reaching the consumer. Each supplier performs a specific function within defined tiers, transforming raw materials into the final product, and charting its journey from procurement and production to retailers. The key areas of concern in this journey include the irresponsible use and disposal of chemicals and water, human rights abuses, and deforestation for increased farmland. To truly embrace sustainability, luxury brands must prioritise supply chain transparency. Having visibility over the entire supply chain enables brands to identify and address environmental and social risks effectively.

Can HDI PCBs Keep Up with AI Hardware Demands?

As the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution gains momentum, the need for smarter, faster, and more efficient hardware is at an all-time high. At the core of this evolution is the printed circuit board (PCB) — the silent workhorse behind every intelligent machine. Specifically, the HDI Printed Circuit Board (High-Density Interconnect PCB) is stepping into the spotlight, offering the compactness, speed, and capability modern AI systems require.

But with increasing complexity and power in AI algorithms, can HDI PCBs keep up with the pace of innovation? At Pcb-Togo Electronic, Inc., we specialize in crafting high-performance HDI Printed Circuit Board solutions designed to meet and exceed the ever-growing expectations of AI-driven hardware. In this post, we’ll explore how HDI PCBs are rising to the challenge and why they’re becoming indispensable in today’s AI landscape.

What Are HDI PCBs and Why Do They Matter?

HDI Printed Circuit Boards differ from traditional PCBs in both structure and capability. They utilize microvias, blind/buried vias, and high-density routing to accommodate more components in less space. This compact architecture reduces signal travel distance, minimizes losses, and allows for faster processing — all crucial elements for AI systems that operate at blistering speeds and demand impeccable accuracy.

The typical AI processor, whether in a data center or an autonomous vehicle, needs a reliable, dense interconnect system to maintain performance. HDI PCBs deliver that reliability in a smaller, lighter, and more efficient footprint.

Why AI Hardware Demands Are Escalating

AI workloads — from machine learning inference to real-time edge processing — require lightning-fast communication between components, robust data throughput, and efficient thermal handling. As AI systems become more embedded in mobile devices, wearables, and compact robotics, the pressure mounts on hardware designers to shrink board sizes without sacrificing performance.

These demands translate directly into challenges that the HDI Printed Circuit Board must solve:

Higher signal integrity

Greater heat dissipation

Denser component placement

Multi-layer interconnectivity

Reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Traditional PCBs simply can’t keep up. HDI PCBs, on the other hand, are uniquely suited for the job — if designed and manufactured correctly.
