[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 12/13] i965/fs: Use LD messages for pre-gen7 varying-index uniform loads

Eric Anholt eric at anholt.net
Wed Mar 20 17:37:01 PDT 2013


This comes at a minor performance cost at the moment (-3.2% +/- 0.2%, n=14 on
my GM45 forced to load all uniforms through the varying-index path), but we
get a whole vec4 at a time to reuse in the next commit.

NOTE: This is a candidate for the 9.1 branch.
