Mesa 24.1 Zink Lands "Super Fast" Merge Request To Optimize IO


Mike Blumenkrantz with Valve's open-source Linux graphics driver team has merged a big optimization / bug fixing effort he's recently been tackling for the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan driver.

Of course, that's not necessarily his scientific measurement but long story short he's been tackling a big project on Zink around IO optimizations. I’ll be enabling this by default in the next month or so once a new GL CTS release happens that fixes all the hundreds of broken tests which would otherwise regress. As stated by Mike, the code should be enabled by default once a new OpenGL conformance test suite (CTS) release happens to fix broken tests in this mode.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
