[PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: Opportunistically reduce flushing at execbuf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If we're moving a bunch of buffers from the CPU domain to the GPU domain, and
we've already blown out the entire cache via a wbinvd, there is nothing more to
do.

With this and the previous patches, I am seeing a 3x FPS increase on a certain
benchmark which uses a giant 2d array texture. Unless I missed something in the
code, it should only effect non-LLC i915 platforms.

I haven't yet run any numbers for other benchmarks, nor have I attempted to
check if various conformance tests still pass.

NOTE: As mentioned in the previous patch, if one can easily obtain the largest
buffer and attempt to flush it first, the results would be even more desirable.
