Animations cause nondeterministic results when building asset bundles

--

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Extract the attached project zip file named "1278393_BundlesIndeterminism (3).zip" [the google drive link, not the jira attachment 1278393_BundlesIndeterminism.zip!]
2. Open the extracted project's folder and delete "Library" folder
3. Open the extracted project
4. Click on ESupport/Build Bundles, the bundles should be built under the “Bundles/Mini” folder which is generated besides the project folder
5. Create a new folder in "Bundles/Mini" path
6. Store the generated “ares” binary file in the created folder
7. In the Project window select Assets/Animations/Mechs and Right click -> Reimport
8. Generate the bundles again, ESupport/Build Bundles
9. Compare the two generated “ares” files. For Windows “fc.exe /b \{file1 path} \{file2 path}”. For macOS “diff \{file1 path} \{file2 path}”

Expected result: When comparing files in Windows, the output shows “FC: no differences encountered”. For macOS, the Terminal doesn’t output anything when the files are identical
Actual result: When comparing the fc.exe program shows the differences of the files, on macOS the Terminal outputs that the files are different

Reproducible with: 2020.3.41f1
Not reproducible with: 2021.3.12f1, 2022.1.20f1, 2022.2.0b12, 2023.1.0a15

Reproducible on: macOS 12.6, Windows 11

  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2023.2.0a13):

    The root cause is that the native vector normalized function (via reciprocal square root) was not deterministic across all CPU architectures. We assume that the user is comparing binaries generated on one CPU architecture compared to another (e.g. intel vs AMD). The fix was to use a more accurate reciprocal square root implementation on all platforms
