In order to use the Observability Architecture effectively, we'll need to take snapshots of the OA counters via MI_REPORT_PERF_COUNT at the start and end of each batch. Experimentation reveals that we need to flush before and after each MI_REPORT_PERF_COUNT to get working values. For simplicitly, I chose to use intel_batchbuffer_emit_mi_flush(), which unfortunately expands to triple pipe controls on Sandybridge. We may want to start computing per-generation reserved batch space to avoid the insanity of Sandybridge's PIPE_CONTROL cost. That said, much of this cost existed before I rewrote the query object support to use hardware contexts, so it's at least not entirely new.

File: docs/README.WIN32 Last updated: 21 June 2013 Quick Start ----- ----- Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are no longer shipped or supported. Run scons osmesa mesagdi to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or scons libgl-gdi to build gallium based GDI driver. This will work both with MSVS or Mingw. Windows Drivers ------- ------- At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work. Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown. Recipe ------ Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are steps that work as of this writing. 1) install python 2.7 2) install scons (latest) 3) install mingw, flex, and bison 4) install libxml2 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs get libxml2-python-2.9.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe 5) install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe 6) install git 7) download mesa from git see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html 8) run scons General ------- After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32. If you don't like putting things in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the executable(s). Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory. The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the stdcall calling convention. Static LIB files are not built. The LIB files that are built with are the linker import files associated with the DLL files. The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs. This was done mainly to get the better tessellator code. If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
