Raspberry Pi V3D Kernel Graphics Driver Prepares For Big & Super Pages To Boost Speed
Last month I wrote about the V3D kernel graphics driver preparing for 1MB 'super pages' support to help boost the performance for this open-source Broadcom DRM driver most notably used by the latest Raspberry Pi single board computers
For most workloads the big and super page performance gains are within a few percent but on select cases like Warzone 2100 traces were as much as 22% faster in the latest tests. Those interested in this V3D big/super pages work by consulting firm Igalia can find the patches for now on the dri-devel mailing list.
