From: Eduardo Lima Mitev <elima at igalia.com>
Currently, we use byte-scattered write messages for storing 16-bit
into an SSBO. This is because untyped surface messages have a fixed
32-bit size.
This patch optimizes these 16-bit writes by combining 2 values (e.g,
two consecutive components aligned with 32-bits) into a 32-bit register,
packing the two 16-bit words.
16-bit single component values will continue to use byte-scattered
write messages. The same will happens when the first consecutive
component is not aligned 32-bits.
This optimization reduces the number of SEND messages used for storing
16-bit values potentially by 2 or 4, which cuts down execution time
significantly because byte-scattered writes are an expensive
operation as they only write a component for message.
v2: Removed use of stride = 2 on sources (Jason Ekstrand)
Rework optimization using shuffle 16 write and enable writes
of 16bit vec4 with only one message of 32-bits. (Chema Casanova)
v3: - Fix coding style (Eduardo Lima)
- Reorganize code to avoid duplication. (Jason Ekstrand)
- Include new comments to explain the length calculations to
fix alignment issues of components. (Jason Ekstrand)
- Fix issues with writemask yz with 16-bit writes. (Jason Ektrand)
