# Objective
- Implement pipelined rendering
- Fixes#5082
- Fixes#4718
## User Facing Description
Bevy now implements piplelined rendering! Pipelined rendering allows the app logic and rendering logic to run on different threads leading to large gains in performance.
*tracy capture of many_foxes example*
To use pipelined rendering, you just need to add the `PipelinedRenderingPlugin`. If you're using `DefaultPlugins` then it will automatically be added for you on all platforms except wasm. Bevy does not currently support multithreading on wasm which is needed for this feature to work. If you aren't using `DefaultPlugins` you can add the plugin manually.
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy::render::pipelined_rendering::PipelinedRenderingPlugin;
fn main() {
App::new()
// whatever other plugins you need
.add_plugin(RenderPlugin)
// needs to be added after RenderPlugin
.add_plugin(PipelinedRenderingPlugin)
.run();
}
```
If for some reason pipelined rendering needs to be removed. You can also disable the plugin the normal way.
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy::render::pipelined_rendering::PipelinedRenderingPlugin;
fn main() {
App::new.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.build().disable::<PipelinedRenderingPlugin>());
}
```
### A setup function was added to plugins
A optional plugin lifecycle function was added to the `Plugin trait`. This function is called after all plugins have been built, but before the app runner is called. This allows for some final setup to be done. In the case of pipelined rendering, the function removes the sub app from the main app and sends it to the render thread.
```rust
struct MyPlugin;
impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
fn build(&self, app: &mut App) {
}
// optional function
fn setup(&self, app: &mut App) {
// do some final setup before runner is called
}
}
```
### A Stage for Frame Pacing
In the `RenderExtractApp` there is a stage labelled `BeforeIoAfterRenderStart` that systems can be added to. The specific use case for this stage is for a frame pacing system that can delay the start of main app processing in render bound apps to reduce input latency i.e. "frame pacing". This is not currently built into bevy, but exists as `bevy`
```text
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | BeforeIoAfterRenderStart | winit events | main schedule |
| extract |---------------------------------------------------------|
| | extract commands | rendering schedule |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
```
### Small API additions
* `Schedule::remove_stage`
* `App::insert_sub_app`
* `App::remove_sub_app`
* `TaskPool::scope_with_executor`
## Problems and Solutions
### Moving render app to another thread
Most of the hard bits for this were done with the render redo. This PR just sends the render app back and forth through channels which seems to work ok. I originally experimented with using a scope to run the render task. It was cuter, but that approach didn't allow render to start before i/o processing. So I switched to using channels. There is much complexity in the coordination that needs to be done, but it's worth it. By moving rendering during i/o processing the frame times should be much more consistent in render bound apps. See https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4691.
### Unsoundness with Sending World with NonSend resources
Dropping !Send things on threads other than the thread they were spawned on is considered unsound. The render world doesn't have any nonsend resources. So if we tell the users to "pretty please don't spawn nonsend resource on the render world", we can avoid this problem.
More seriously there is this https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6534 pr, which patches the unsoundness by aborting the app if a nonsend resource is dropped on the wrong thread. ~~That PR should probably be merged before this one.~~ For a longer term solution we have this discussion going https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/6552.
### NonSend Systems in render world
The render world doesn't have any !Send resources, but it does have a non send system. While Window is Send, winit does have some API's that can only be accessed on the main thread. `prepare_windows` in the render schedule thus needs to be scheduled on the main thread. Currently we run nonsend systems by running them on the thread the TaskPool::scope runs on. When we move render to another thread this no longer works.
To fix this, a new `scope_with_executor` method was added that takes a optional `TheadExecutor` that can only be ticked on the thread it was initialized on. The render world then holds a `MainThreadExecutor` resource which can be passed to the scope in the parallel executor that it uses to spawn it's non send systems on.
### Scopes executors between render and main should not share tasks
Since the render world and the app world share the `ComputeTaskPool`. Because `scope` has executors for the ComputeTaskPool a system from the main world could run on the render thread or a render system could run on the main thread. This can cause performance problems because it can delay a stage from finishing. See https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6503#issuecomment-1309791442 for more details.
To avoid this problem, `TaskPool::scope` has been changed to not tick the ComputeTaskPool when it's used by the parallel executor. In the future when we move closer to the 1 thread to 1 logical core model we may want to overprovide threads, because the render and main app threads don't do much when executing the schedule.
## Performance

### Examples
#### This PR with pipelining vs Main
> Note that these were run on an older version of main and the performance profile has probably changed due to optimizations
Seeing a perf gain from 29% on many lights to 7% on many sprites.

#### This PR with pipelining disabled vs Main
Mostly regressions here. I don't think this should be a problem as users that are disabling pipelined rendering are probably running single threaded and not using the parallel executor. The regression is probably mostly due to the switch to use `async_executor::run` instead of `try_tick` and also having one less thread to run systems on. I'll do a writeup on why switching to `run` causes regressions, so we can try to eventually fix it. Using try_tick causes issues when pipeline rendering is enable as seen [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6503#issuecomment-1380803518)

### Benchmarks
Mostly the same except empty_systems has got a touch slower. The maybe_pipelining+1 column has the compute task pool with an extra thread over default added. This is because pipelining loses one thread over main to execute systems on, since the main thread no longer runs normal systems.

## Migration Guide
### App `runner` and SubApp `extract` functions are now required to be Send
This was changed to enable pipelined rendering. If this breaks your use case please report it as these new bounds might be able to be relaxed.
## ToDo
* [x] redo benchmarking
* [x] reinvestigate the perf of the try_tick -> run change for task pool scope
# Objective
- Spawn tasks from other threads onto an async executor, but limit those tasks to run on a specific thread.
- This is a continuation of trying to break up some of the changes in pipelined rendering.
- Eventually this will be used to allow `NonSend` systems to run on the main thread in pipelined rendering #6503 and also to solve #6552.
- For this specific PR this allows for us to store a thread executor in a thread local, rather than recreating a scope executor for every scope which should save on a little work.
## Solution
- We create a Executor that does a runtime check for what thread it's on before creating a !Send ticker. The ticker is the only way for the executor to make progress.
---
## Changelog
- create a ThreadExecutor that can only be ticked on one thread.
This reverts commit 53d387f340.
# Objective
Reverts #6448. This didn't have the intended effect: we're now getting bevy::prelude shown in the docs again.
Co-authored-by: Alejandro Pascual <alejandro.pascual.pozo@gmail.com>
# Objective
- Right now re-exports are completely hidden in prelude docs.
- Fixes#6433
## Solution
- We could show the re-exports without inlining their documentation.
# Objective
- #4466 broke local tasks running.
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/6120
## Solution
- Add system for ticking local executors on main thread into bevy_core where the tasks pools are initialized.
- Add ticking local executors into thread executors
## Changelog
- tick all thread local executors in task pool.
## Notes
- ~~Not 100% sure about this PR. Ticking the local executor for the main thread in scope feels a little kludgy as it requires users of bevy_tasks to be calling scope periodically for those tasks to make progress.~~ took this out in favor of a system that ticks the local executors.
# Objective
As of Rust 1.59, `std:🧵:available_parallelism` has been stabilized. As of Rust 1.61, the API matches `num_cpus::get` by properly handling Linux's cgroups and other sandboxing mechanisms.
As bevy does not have an established MSRV, we can replace `num_cpus` in `bevy_tasks` and reduce our dependency tree by one dep.
## Solution
Replace `num_cpus` with `std:🧵:available_parallelism`. Wrap it to have a fallback in the case it errors out and have it operate in the same manner as `num_cpus` did.
This however removes `physical_core_count` from the API, though we are currently not using it in any way in first-party crates.
---
## Changelog
Changed: `bevy_tasks::logical_core_count` -> `bevy_tasks::available_parallelism`.
Removed: `bevy_tasks::physical_core_count`.
## Migration Guide
`bevy_tasks::logical_core_count` and `bevy_tasks::physical_core_count` have been removed. `logical_core_count` has been replaced with `bevy_tasks::available_parallelism`, which works identically. If `bevy_tasks::physical_core_count` is required, the `num_cpus` crate can be used directly, as these two were just aliases for `num_cpus` APIs.
This PR is part of the issue #3492.
# Objective
- Add and update the bevy_tasks documentation to achieve a 100% documentation coverage (sans `prelude` module)
- Add the #![warn(missing_docs)] lint to keep the documentation coverage for the future.
## Solution
- Add and update the bevy_math documentation.
- Add the #![warn(missing_docs)] lint.
- Added doctest wherever there should be in the missing docs.
Fixes#2566Fixes#3005
There are only READMEs in the 4 crates here (with the exception of bevy itself).
Those 4 crates are ecs, reflect, tasks, and transform.
These should each now include their respective README files.
