meshoptimizer

heres a random search result that is code that cites that paper for its own strip generation https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/blob/master/src/stripi... source: went to https://sci-hub.tw/10.1109/VISUAL.1996.568125 then searched one of the author names + github paper title and authors are Optimizing Triangle Strips for Fast Rendering Francine Evans Steven Skiena Amitabh Varshney

From the post: >One number that we haven’t moved substantially yet is the time it takes to run this code in debug using MSVC. While it’s natural to expect unoptimized builds to be slower than optimized, they have to be fast enough. Sometimes you want to debug your problem on a non-trivial input dataset. Sometimes you want to run the debug build with full checks through your tests to make sure they don’t trigger any bugs that could disappear in release. Sometimes you are trying to debug a different part of the program, but you still need to run the rest of it. The library, by the author, is https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer. I presume it will be used in graphics pipelines. Debug builds working at a speed that allow graphics to be tolerable by humans sounds like a good goal to have.
