RadeonSI Squeezes "Many Improvements Around The Whole Driver" Into Mesa 24.1
Down to literally minutes before the Mesa 24.1 codebase was branched for making up this quarter's Mesa OpenGL/Vulkan driver to then be tested and stabilized with a stable release around mid-May, a number of AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D driver patches were merged.
Down to literally minutes before the Mesa 24.1 codebase was branched for making up this quarter's Mesa OpenGL/Vulkan driver to then be tested and stabilized with a stable release around mid-May, a number of AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D driver patches were merged. Some interesting stuff here: - Enable DCC fast clear for 8bpp and 16bpp on GFX11 - New fast clear method for GFX11: DCC clear-to-single (based on RADV) - Gfx blits preserve NaNs - Disable VRS 2x2 for flat shading when it decreases performance of slow gfx clears - Skip no-op CB and DB cache flushes - Many cosmetic changes around blits and clears. It will be interesting to quantify the performance impact of these 32 patches and the other work that accumulated for Mesa 24.1.
