b46fbfda9130992e290b222840f1d3b7bba15c6c braney Fri Sep 4 11:15:50 2026 -0700 hgTracks: build item coverage from feature runs, not one counter per base A track drawn as a coverage graph asked for one unsigned counter per base of the window, added one to every base of every feature, then read the whole array back to produce about 1,200 pixels. On a 25 Mb view that is a 100 MB allocation per track and two passes over it, and the cost grows with the width of the view rather than with the amount of data. It was 38% of the render on one Recommended Track Set page and 29% on another, inside the drawing step where the reader waits for it. Coverage only changes where a feature starts or ends, so it is now held as a step function: two events per feature, sorted, swept into runs, and sampled with a forward cursor. The arithmetic at the two fractional bases of each pixel is deliberately unchanged, including its habit of squaring the weighted value rather than weighting the square, so the drawn image is identical. Whole bases fold a run at a time as cov*n, which is the same value the per-base loop reached, because those quantities are integers held in doubles. Verified with 96 pixel comparisons and no difference: the 80 case sweep is identical on every cell that renders deterministically, plus 18 comparisons on views narrower than the image, which is the only path the sweep does not cover. Geometric mean 0.81 over the eight page benchmark set, 0.51 on the worst cell, and about 100 MB off peak memory on a wide view. refs #38253 diff --git src/hg/hgTracks/simpleTracks.c src/hg/hgTracks/simpleTracks.c index 1af2136f795..5cb651f4bf0 100644 --- src/hg/hgTracks/simpleTracks.c +++ src/hg/hgTracks/simpleTracks.c @@ -5253,174 +5253,335 @@ /* Normalize statistics to be based on an integer number of valid bases. * Integer value is the smallest integer not less than countFactor. */ { bits32 validCount = ceil(countFactor); double normFactor = (double)validCount/countFactor; el->count = validCount; el->min = minVal; el->max = maxVal; el->sumData = sumData * normFactor; el->sumSquares = sumSquares * normFactor; return validCount; } -static unsigned *countOverlaps(struct track *track) -/* Count up overlap of linked features. */ +/* Item coverage for the "draw as a coverage graph" display mode. + * + * Coverage is a step function: it only changes where a feature starts or ends. + * So it is held as a list of runs rather than as one count per base of the + * window.
