| lachlansneff | Here's the slides for the Naughty Dog fibers presentation. | 03:22:11 |
| lachlansneff | Download parallelizing_the_naughty_dog_engine_using_fibers.pdf | 03:22:24 |
 kvark | and here is something we built 5 years ago in an attempt to replicate it: https://github.com/slide-rs/fibe-rs | 04:10:35 |
 kyren | would you consider the replication successful? | 21:58:18 |
| kvark | I recall it being functional but incomplete | 21:59:51 |
| cwfitzgerald | how did rust handle the whole "getting yeeted off your thread" thing | 22:16:18 |

| kyren | I think when I explained my position earlier I said that producing the work graph without async is just "using the rust language itself" and I think that was wrong, really with async both of them are using the rust language, but one of them is using rayon and closures and one is using Future, I would still guess rayon is faster and more limited (but in a good way in that it prevents you from waiting arbitrarily long) | 00:29:49 |
| lachlansneff | Can rayon operate on async closures instead of regular closures? | 04:52:04 |
| kyren | no | 06:20:31 |
| kyren | not directly or anything, that wouldn't make a lot of sense I think | 06:21:37 |
| kyren | rayon doesn't really like it when you do anything that blocks, it's not really for concurrency at all | 06:22:02 |
| kyren | * rayon doesn't really like it when you do anything that blocks or waits, it's not really for concurrency at all | 06:22:14 |
| kyren | rayon is a data parallelism library, I think this will make this whole discussion clearer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_parallelism#Data_parallelism_vs._task_parallelism | 06:24:26 |
| kyren | actually I'm not 100% confident in these terms to be honest | 06:32:32 |
| kyren | rayon was inspired by cilk, and wikipedia lists cilk as a task parallelism system, and it seems like rayon can do task parallelism just fine, ugh I dunno I'm not very confident in these terms, somebody go get an academic | 06:35:23 |
| kyren | https://docs.rs/rayon/1.3.0/rayon/fn.join.html <- this seems like task parallelism 🤷♀️ | 06:36:15 |
| kyren | but whatever, it's harder to argue about academic terms than it is specifics | 06:36:51 |

| cwfitzgerald | we shoudl advertise this channel in some way somewhere | 21:13:54 |
 startoaster | The rust gamedev channel might allow it. You can always ask on meta. | 21:19:30 |
| cwfitzgerald | probably | 21:20:32 |
| cwfitzgerald | I also mean like on the repo and such | 21:20:36 |
