[PATCH] drm/vc4: improve throughput by pipelining binning and rendering jobs

Varad Gautam varadgautam at gmail.com
Wed Feb 17 13:38:21 UTC 2016


The hardware provides us with separate threads for binning and
rendering, and the existing model waits for them both to complete
before submitting the next job.

Splitting the binning and rendering submissions reduces idle time
and gives us approx 20-30% speedup with several x11perf tests.

Thanks to anholt for suggesting this.
