Improves performance of the arb_shader_image_load_store-atomicity piglit test by over 25x (which isn't a real benchmark it's just heavy on atomics -- the improvement in a microbenchmark I wrote a while ago seemed to be even greater). The drawback is one needs to be extra-careful not to hang the GPU (in fact the whole system). A DC partition must have been allocated on L3, the "convert L3 cycle for DC to UC" bit may not be set, the MOCS L3 cacheability bit must be set for all surfaces accessed using DC atomics, and the SCRATCH1 and ROW_CHICKEN3 bits must be kept in sync. A fairly recent kernel is required for the command parser to allow writes to these registers.

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.
