Topic Description

In the profiler why is RTX rendering on 100% when in an empty stage?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. start up isaac sim
  2. open the profiler
  3. inpect the values RTX Rendering and Spatial HashGrid: CombineHashmaps
    (Add more steps as needed)

Additional Information

We are generating synthetic data with Isaac Sim. The basic setup is that random objects are scattered in the scene and recently I added scattered grass. The simulation is supper slow. It used to take about a minute for the simulation to start through the extention. since adding the scattered grass, startup is nearly impossible. can take more then 10 minutes just to initialize. and after initialization, a single step will be like 10 seconds each (even if only scattering the camera’s position and nothing else). I am positive that with some basic optimization help I will be able to speed up the simulation. This is my first post of many on the subject of rendering optimization.

That profiler is telling you that 100% of the total time (6ms) is spent by rendering per frame.
and then out of that 100%, 56% of it is spend on CombineHashmaps.

The percentage is expected to be 100% in most scenarios, for example, the percentage will be 100% even for the full warehouse
