Convert simulation ticks to an interval and estimate one outbound update stream from explicit send rate, recipient count, payload and overhead.

Generate named build, configuration and test combinations, record each result and notes, and save or export the complete matrix with a JSON backup.

Convert a chosen frame rate to milliseconds per frame and compare the interval with measured timings from the actual game and device.

Reduce whole pixel dimensions to an exact width-to-height ratio, preserving portrait or landscape orientation for real layout comparisons.

Calculate texture data bytes for RGBA or BC formats by summing exact mip levels and layers, with whole blocks and explicit allocation limits.

Estimate game packaging from measured component sizes, an explicit packaging factor and fixed overhead, then compare the final build in MiB.

Divide unique members of a fixed starting cohort who returned on a defined day by that original cohort size. Use your own deduplicated records.

Compare a chosen CPU time allowance with measured cost per draw submission to find a whole-call estimate under an explicit constant-cost model.

Count pixels in a rectangular image and compare them with an explicit reference resolution, keeping pixel quantity separate from rendering cost.

Calculate particle buffer bytes from allocated capacity, measured record size, copies and fixed overhead without inferring frame-rate performance.
