Physics 03

This workload explores the scaling of the number of physics objects and collisions in a scene and their affect on platform metrics including CPU and network utilization.

The scene is a blank flat square region with 25 object generators suspended over a large square room. The objects generated are scripted to live for a specified period of time and then die as new objects are being created. After some time, this creates a steady state number of physical objects at any given time.

The TestClient performs these actions:

• Connects a single avatar
• Sleeps 60 seconds
• Shouts start 4 5 (The group of object generators begin dropping an average of 5 cubes per second for a steady state of 100 objects.)
• Sleeps 20 seconds while object count reaches a steady state
• Sleeps 300 seconds for additional data collection
• Shouts stop to stop the flow of objects

• ~45% CPU utilization
• ~28KB/s TX bandwidth
