Ravi,

 

You are welcome to contribute on glamor project. Although the performance
tuning is not trivial, there are indeed some opportunities to make big
progress in this area.

Before you get started on performance tuning, I suggest you to set up a
performance base line and choose a good performance measuring tools. Here is
a good reference

For you:

You can pick some cases which glamor is slower than uxa. And start to
analyze the performance hot spot. And try to improve it. As to the glamor's
more information, we only can give you the source code and one simple
introduction page at:

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor

 

In general, from my point of view there are two major directions to optimize
the performance.

 

1.      Improve the trapezoid compositor's performance.

2.      Change the rendering mechanism, and accumulate as much as possible
drawing operations among multiple X rendering calls, such as the glyphs
rendering. I call this delay flushing.

Hello,

 

I am a final year undergraduate student of the Department of Industrial
Engineering and Management, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

I would like to contribute to the Glamor Performance Tuning project. I have
a prior experience of both C and OpenGL however not much experience in GLSL
or GPU driven development.

I would like someone to point me to the right direction as to how i should
go about finding more information relevant to this project.

 

Awaiting reply,

 

Regards,

Ravi Agrawal.
