Wiki page for nodes who want to be pimped.

Plenty of little nodes feels weak and could have a little SSE-Steroids/OPENMP-EPO injection (so they can survive the "Tour de Patch")

Considerations

• Nodes to be written as plugs
• Some nice benches with different spreadcount to show speed difference at different levels (using varying spreadcount is also useful as some nodes can have specific bits for it).
• Option as toggle for Threading + SSE, so we can also compare per spreadcount.
• List of good candidates : Most common nodes obviously benefits more people, also some nodes are less likely to have high spread count. Perspecitve (Transform) a good example of low spread usage.
• Some datatypes comparison.
• If a node supports Input Count as config pin, counterpart to be written the same way (so they are the same node)
• Node does not necessarily need threading, if it has good perf improvement without that's cool too :)
• Generally when including 2d/3d node i also mean vector version

Candidates

Top of the list

All those are very very widely used, simple to thread/otpimize and are
very likely to have decently (very) high spread count

• Standard value operators (+,-,*,/,Mod,Min,Max)
• Comparison operators (>,<,>=,<=,=)
• Boolean operators (AND,OR,NOT,XOR)
• Vectors Join/Split
• Map/MapRange (Value)

• RGB/HSL/HSV Join/Split

• Translate/Scale/Rotate/Transform/ApplyTransform (In all version/dimension)

• LinearFilter/Damper/Oscillator (Animation)
• Change/TogEdge (Animation)

Top Unfriendly nodes

Very widely used, but bit (or lot) harder to thread, or they require special considerations.

• Select (Value,Color)
• Spread generators (linear/random/gaussian)
• Cross (2d/3d)

Mid Range Nodes

Quite often used, good to have them around when needed, generally used with quite high spread.

• B-Spline (Value)
• Power (Value), Sign (Value), Log (Value)

• 2d/3d Cartesian/Polar
• Normalize (3d), Cross (3d), Dot (3d)
• Perlin/Simplex (2,3,4d)
• Points2Vector/Vector2Points (2d)

• Transform Multiply, Inverse

• Newton, DeNiro (Animation)

• Reverse (Spreads)

• Blend/Complement (Color)

• Shift/InputMorph (Value/Color)

Other

Casual use, but useful

• All complex number nodes (pretty underestimated, if pimped they could be more widely used)

• FrameDifference/FrameVelocity (Animation)

• Connect/ConnectAll (2d/3d)

• GetMatrix/SetMatrix (Transform)

Cool nodes to add with perf

• Sin/Cos/Tan.. Value (Don't need the complex version most of the time)

Benchmarks

Will provide a spreadsheet as much easier to add new columns/rows...
