There are never render target reads, so there are no scheduling hazards. Giving the extra flexibility to the scheduler makes it possible to do FB writes as soon as their sources are available, reducing register pressure. It also makes it possible to do the payload setup for more than one FB write message at a time, which could better hide latency. shader-db results on Skylake: total instructions in shared programs: 9110254 -> 9110211 (-0.00%) instructions in affected programs: 2898 -> 2855 (-1.48%) helped: 3 HURT: 0 LOST: 0 GAINED: 1 A reduction in instruction counts is surprising, but legitimate: the three shaders helped were spilling, and reducing register pressure allowed us to issue fewer spills/fills. total cycles in shared programs: 69035108 -> 68928820 (-0.15%) cycles in affected programs: 4412402 -> 4306114 (-2.41%) helped: 4457 HURT: 213 Signed-off-by: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org> Reviewed-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Connor Abbott <cwabbott0@gmail.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.
