Chapter 99 (1/2)
To be honest, this question really baffles Hao Yun.
Read a long time topic, he Leng is a line of code did not knock out.
Optimize the code of ”glacier engine”?
Improve engine efficiency by 10%?
He hasn't seen the underlying code of this engine yet
At the same time, the backstage of the game scene.
At the request of academician Zhan Yongshu, the staff called up the screen of contestant 101.
Looking at the fourth question appearing on the screen, Professor Zhang cunhao, standing next to academician Zhan, shook his head with a smile. His voice was rather regretful, but he said without any surprise.
”I didn't expect that he chose the fourth question. It seems that it's completely out of the question.”
”Oh?” Academician Zhan Yongshu raised his eyebrows with great interest.
”Teacher, you won't forget that before I went back to Shuimu university to teach, I was working in the front-line position of software R & D Department of Longwei group, right?” Professor Zhang cunhao joked.
”I haven't read the specific content of the title yet. Is this glacier engine also a product of your department?”
”That's not true. The product itself was developed by an acquired R & D team, but our software R & D department has optimized the product. Now glacier 3.0 is the product after our secondary optimization. Now the mainstream large-scale 3D action games, especially the third person category, are basically made with this engine! ” Professor Zhang cunhao said with a touch of pride on his face.
But he does have the capital to be proud.
Longwei group is a giant in Xiaguo electronic industry, and its huge software R & D team is one of the factors to lay this foundation. Even if video games are new after the new calendar, none of the software engineers despise them.
Professor Zhang cunhao's meaning is very clear.
Compared with the other three questions that don't define the acceptance criteria, this one with clear requirements for performance improvement is absolutely impossible!
Because this is the crystallization of countless software engineers!
Because this is the product of countless optimization!
Because this is the most concise code!
It's like a work of art, no letter is superfluous!
Let alone the students sitting here, it is almost impossible for the main examination committee standing here to solve the fourth question in just three days.
Of course, it will be possible to do it for a longer time.
”To tell you the truth, this kind of topic even you feel helpless, appears in this kind of competition for college students... Isn't it a bit inappropriate?” Academician Zhan Yongshu looked at Professor Zhang cunhao and said.
Professor Zhang cunhao said with a smile, ”isn't it a convention to set up a trap among the four questions in previous competitions? This is also a serious investigation of the players' own objective situation. I believe that as long as I use my brain a little bit, I can think that there is no chance to optimize this kind of commercial application mature software. ”
Academician Zhan Yongshu laughed and did not speak.
He might have guessed the reason for using this kind of question as a trap.
One is that, as Professor Zhang cunhao said, one of the four questions is used to bury people, which is the Convention of the hope cup competition. As for the second, I'm afraid it has something to do with the sponsorship given by Longwei group.
After all, like the hope cup, which has attracted the attention of countless college students and professionals, no one has made the last big question, which is a great gimmick in itself.
Use this gimmick to do promotion, more than any hard wide have topic.
Considering that the whole examination system of this competition is sponsored by Longwei group for free, academician Zhan Yongshu didn't say anything, just didn't give much hope to the player on the screen.
After all, even if he comes by himself, he may not be able to improve the performance of glacier 3.0 engine by 10% in three days. From another point of view, if there is such an easy way to do it, the ice engine development team and the software engineers who are responsible for engine optimization must have thought of it.
It is also a necessary quality for a programmer to choose the research subject he is good at and avoid those topics that will only waste time and energy.
If not
In this competition, player 101 has gone far!
……
Hao Yun didn't know that he was just reading questions. Several industry leaders standing at the background of the examination room not far away had already foreseen his ending.
Is that really the end?
At the beginning, Hao Yun thought so pessimistically.
After all, it took him a lot of effort to read the whole glacier engine code.
”First of all, calm down...”
”Then, you have to figure out the logic of the engine.”
It is an important criterion for a good engine to make the output of graphics data faster and higher quality. It must be in this engine online, glacier engine developers have racked their brains to optimize its code.
It's not entirely impossible to make further progress in the efforts of predecessors, but I'm afraid I have to strengthen my system plug-in if I expect to do it in just three days with one person's strength.
So
It is almost impossible to optimize the code of the engine itself.
I'm afraid my only hope is outside the code of the engine itself.
For example, the underlying functions that are called frequently?
