[Intel-gfx] [PATCH i-g-t 00/17] Media scalability tooling

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

A bunch of patches to trace.pl and gem_wsim which enable simulation and load
balancing analysis of the Virtual Engine work done separately by Chris Wilson.

Culmination is being able to simulate a so called frame split media workloads.

Example workload for this looks like this (annotated only for cover letter):

  X.1.0			    ; disable preemption on context 1
  M.1.VCS1		    ; configure engine map on context 1
  B.1			    ; turn on load balancing on context 1
  X.2.0			    ; \
  M.2.VCS2		    ; -> same as above but for context 2
  B.2			    ; /
  b.2.1.VCS1		    ; bond VCS2 in context 2 with VCS1
  f			    ; create an unsignaled fence
  1.DEFAULT.*.f-1.0	    ; submit an infinite batch to ctx 1, with input fence
  2.DEFAULT.4000-6000.s-1.0 ; submit a 4-6ms batch to ctx 2, with submit fence from the previous step
  a.-3			    ; advance the fence created 3 lines above
  s.-2			    ; wait for ctx 2 batch to complete
  T.-4			    ; terminate ctx 1 infinite batch
  3.RCS.2000-4000.-5/-4.0   ; submit 2-4ms ctx 3 batch to RCS, with data dependencies
  3.VECS.2000.-1.0	    ; submit 2ms ctx 3 batch to VECS, data dependency on previous batch
  4.BCS.1000.-1.0	    ; submit 1ms ctx 4 batch to BCS, data dependency on previous batch
  s.-2			    ; wait for ctx 3 batch to complete
  p.16667		    ; start next iteration to hit 60fps simulation

And can be run for instance like this:

  ./gem_wsim -n <calibration> -w wsim/frame_split_60fps.wsim -r 60 -c 3

This runs three clients of the same workload, 60 iterations each.

This can then also be captured with trace.pl and a HTML representation of the
execution timeline analysed:

  ../scripts/trace.pl --trace ./gem_wsim ...
  perf script | ../scripts/trace.pl -s -c --gpu-timeline --html >timeline.html

[Vis npm module is required to be present in the same directory as the HTML    ]
[file, see trace.pl --help for instructions.				       ]
