For Immediate Release RAD Sim Tools’ Telemetry wins For Press Queries: Bohemia Interactive Simulations support from VBS3 developers at Phone: +420 226 219 964 [email protected] www.bisimulations.com Bohemia Interactive Simulations https://store.bisimulations.com/ www.facebook.com/bisimulations Bohemia Interactive Simulations has been using Telemetry from RAD Sim Tools as part of their VBS3 development process. The results are in, and the team verdict is “awesome!” The BISim developers have used Telemetry extensively with exclusively positive results. Telemetry is a powerful profiling tool for all scripters and VBSFusion developers. It enables you to find logjams in scripts and plug-ins much more easily than before, and helps you optimize and understand your script’s or plug-in’s performance. Script profiling allows you to track performance bottlenecks within scripts, and makes it possible to see how much time was spent in different parts of the script. Our Telemetry integration allows you to see other parameters, such as which frame was the script started and when it was finished, how many frames the execution took, or how many times a selected part of the script was executed. Exactly the same profiling is now available for VBSFusion plug-ins as well. Mark Dzulko, CTO, BISim said “The use of Telemetry has provided us with critical profiling information to identify performance issues early in the development process for VBS3. It is great that our VBSDN customers can now benefit from the same tools that we are using for development internally.” Both script and plug-in profiling can work together and the results can be examined in the Telemetry visualizer at once; Telemetry is a performance visualizer, so all of your performance information is presented graphically, in an intuitive way. The high-level visualization means that the whole team, not just programmers, can contribute to optimization. Artists, designers and testers can now correlate application state with performance. Telemetry’s visualization makes it clear what factors are causing a dip in performance, whether it be too many lights, AI pathing nodes, sound sources, particles, etc. The whole team can work on performance independently. Halldor Fannar, CTO at Crowd Control Productions stated, “During our integration of Telemetry, the software kept revealing performance bottlenecks in our products we didn’t even know existed. The designers of Telemetry understand that visualizing large and complex performance data sets is the key to understanding performance problems--and they have solved that problem elegantly.” RAD Sim Tools, their Telemetry tool, and the rest of their product suite will be at the Bohemia Interactive Simulations booth #2439 at I/ITSEC 2013, as well as available to purchase through their online store at https://store.bisimulations.com About RAD Sim Tools: RAD Sim Tools is a privately-held, simulation and video game middleware developer located in Kirkland, Washington.
