[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/4] i965/fs: Improve live variables calculation performance.

Eric Anholt eric at anholt.net
Tue Feb 19 18:03:48 PST 2013


We can execute way fewer instructions by doing our boolean manipulation
on an "int" of bits at a time, while also reducing our working set size.

Reduces compile time of L4D2's slowest shader from 4s to 1.1s
(-72.4% +/- 0.2%, n=10)
