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

Kenneth Graunke kenneth at whitecape.org
Wed May 11 06:31:00 UTC 2016


From: Chia-I Wu <olvaffe at gmail.com>

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.

Improves performance in Manhattan on Skylake GT3e at 1280x720 by
0.621245% +/- 0.103831%.

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
v3: (Ken) Rebase forward 8 months.
v4: (Ken) Rebase forward 2 years; benchmark again.
