compressed textures are very slow because decoding is rather complex (and because there's no jit code code to decode them too for non-technical reasons). Thus, add some texture cache which holds a couple of decoded blocks. Right now this handles only s3tc format albeit it could be extended to work with other formats rather trivially as long as the result of decode fits into 32bit per texel (ideally, rgtc actually would decode to more than 8 bits per channel, but even then making it work for it shouldn't be too difficult). This can improve performance noticeably but don't expect wonders (uncompressed is unsurprisingly still faster). It's also possible it might be slower in some cases (using nearest filtering for example or if there's otherwise not many cache hits, the cache is only direct mapped which isn't great). Also, actual decode of a block relies on util code, thus even though always full blocks are decoded it is done texel by texel - this could obviously benefit greatly from simd-optimized code decoding full blocks at once... Note the cache is per (raster) thread, and currently only used for fragment shaders. Reviewed-by: Jose Fonseca <jfonseca@vmware.com>
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 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. - install python 2.7 - install scons (latest) - install mingw, flex, and bison - install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe - install git - download mesa from git see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html - 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.
