Most efficient way to compare hundreds (potentially thousands) of positions while keeping script activity low?

[Pa_roy0]

this is actually insane, combined script activity of the npc script and the actor script never goes higher than half a percent for 1000 rendered npcs, thank you

I have a thread discussing about measuring the number of parallel threads that can be utilized by a player’s device:

Measure the player's CPU for optimizing Parallel Luau

Please read After testing this a bit with the community (and still needs more testing), for now the assumption is that Roblox has imposed a hard limit of 8 parallel threads. As such, this tool does not exactly measure your CPU’s core/thread count. Thanks to @Tomi1231 and @RuizuKun_Dev for pointing this out. However, this tool is still useful for finding a local limit lower than 8 on other types of devices, such as mobile ones. Another disclaimer, it is also discovered that Parallel Luau does …

A parallelized raycast minimap project:

Realtime minimap using EditableImage & Parallel Luau

Kinda late to making this since EditableImage was announced like a month ago, but also kinda early because it’s still in beta as of this writing . Someone probably already beat me to making this, but this is my own take!11!!11!1 Essentially, how it works is I’m raycasting a whole bunch of points relative to the player and the camera. The raycasting is multithreaded via Parallel Luau v2. I just get the color/material color of whatever it hits and then render it with an EditableImage. Perfo…

And a Roblox game that actively uses parallelization for gameplay:

Multithreaded voxel game framework with LoD system

[image] Hi, it’s me again. I’ve done voxel stuff in the past, but I think this one is big enough to deserve its own topic. Quick terminologies: Voxel - A 3-dimensional pixel; usually represented as blocks. Minecraft, for example, is a voxel game. Multithreading - This project uses Parallel Luau to multithread certain processes to make them faster. LoD - Level of Detail; a common feature in games that makes faraway objects render at a lower quality to save performance. You may know this in…

You can try out the game and see the parallel work in action via the microprofiler!
