[Mesa-dev] [PATCHv2] i965: Avoid extraneous fast depth clears

Chia-I Wu olvaffe at gmail.com
Thu Jan 2 22:28:45 PST 2014


When the depth buffer is already cleared, skip GEN6_HIZ_OP_DEPTH_CLEAR.  This
is made possible by tracking which slices have been cleared in
"struct intel_mipmap_level".  The hiz_cleared flag is unset when the depth
buffer is rendered to or when a HiZ resolve is needed.

For Unigine Tropics, the FPS improvement is 1.32134% +/- 0.161878% (n=13).

v2:
- unset hiz_cleared automatically in intel_miptree_slice_set_needs_hiz_resolve
- set/unset hiz_cleared with intel_renderbuffer_att_set_needs_depth_resolve
