[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] i965: Relax accumulator dependency scheduling on Gen < 6

Tue May 6 01:16:30 PDT 2014


Many instructions implicitly update the accumulator on Gen < 6. The instruction
scheduling code just calls add_barrier_deps() for each accumulator access on
these platforms, but a large class of operations don't actually update the
accumulator -- mostly move and logical instructions. Teaching the scheduling
code about this would allow more flexibility to schedule instructions.

I tested this on IvyBridge and IronLake with a piglit test run but it would be
nice if someone could test on other gens too.
