glDrawArrays was being used when the draw had a base instance specified.
This commit removes the draw parameters abstraction and fixes the
mentioned issue.
Delay buffer destruction some extra frames to avoid destroying buffers
that are still being used from older frames. This happens on Nvidia's
driver with mailbox.
This addresses the long standing issue of compatibility vs. core
profiles on OpenGL, properly implementing depth vs. stencil sampling
depending on the texture swizzle.
ATOM operates atomically on global memory. For now only add ATOM.ADD
since that's what was found in commercial games.
This asserts for ATOM.ADD.S32 (handling the others as unimplemented),
although ATOM.ADD.U32 shouldn't be any different.
This change forces us to change the default type on SPIR-V storage
buffers from float to uint. We could also alias the buffers, but it's
simpler for now to just use uint. While we are at it, abstract the code
to avoid repetition.
Some games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild assign
render targets without writing them from the fragment shader. This
generates Vulkan validation errors, so silence these I previously
introduced a commit to set "vec4(0, 0, 0, 1)" for these attachments. The
problem is that this is not what games expect. This commit reverts that
change.
Front face was being forced to a certain value when cull face is
disabled. Set a default value on initialization and drop the forcefully
set front facing value with culling disabled.
Nvidia's driver defaults invalid enumerations to GL_CLAMP. Vulkan
doesn't expose GL_CLAMP through its API, but we can hack it on Nvidia's
driver using the internal driver defaults.
Using the same technique we used for u8 on LDG, implement u16.
In the case of STG, load memory and insert the value we want to set
into it with bitfieldInsert. Then set that value.
This currently only supports quad arrays and u8 indices.
In the future we can remove quad arrays with a table written from the
CPU, but this was used to bootstrap the other passes helpers and it
was left in the code.
The blob code is generated from the "shaders/" directory. Read the
instructions there to know how to generate the SPIR-V.
This abstractio represents the state of the 3D engine at a given draw.
Instead of changing individual bits of the pipeline how it's done in
APIs like D3D11, OpenGL and NVN; on Vulkan we are forced to put
everything together into a single, immutable object.
It takes advantage of the few dynamic states Vulkan offers.
The update descriptor is used to store in flat memory a large chunk of
staging data used to update descriptor sets through templates. It
provides a push interface to easily insert descriptors following the
current pipeline. The order used in the descriptor update template has
to be implicitly followed. We can catch bugs here using validation
layers.
The stream buffer before this commit once it was full (no more bytes to
write before looping) waiting for all previous operations to finish.
This was a temporary solution and had a noticeable performance penalty
in performance (from what a profiler showed).
To avoid this mark with fences usages of the stream buffer and once it
loops wait for them to be signaled. On average this will never wait.
Each fence knows where its usage finishes, resulting in a non-paged
stream buffer.
On the other side, the buffer cache is reimplemented using the generic
buffer cache. It makes use of the staging buffer pool and the new
stream buffer.
* Allocate memory in discrete exponentially increasing chunks until the
128 MiB threshold. Allocations larger thant that increase linearly by
256 MiB (depending on the required size). This allows to use small
allocations for small resources.
* Move memory maps to a RAII abstraction. To optimize for debugging
tools (like RenderDoc) users will map/unmap on usage. If this ever
becomes a noticeable overhead (from my profiling it doesn't) we can
transparently move to persistent memory maps without harming the API,
getting optimal performance for both gameplay and debugging.
* Improve messages on exceptional situations.
* Fix typos "requeriments" -> "requirements".
* Small style changes.
Create a large descriptor pool where we allocate all our descriptors
from. It has to be wide enough to support any pipeline, hence its large
numbers.
If the descritor pool is filled, we allocate more memory at that moment.
This way we can take advantage of permissive drivers like Nvidia's that
allocate more descriptors than what the spec requires.
This commit introduces a mechanism by which shader IR code can be
amended and extended. This useful for track algorithms where certain
information can derived from before the track such as indexes to array
samplers.
This function is called rarely and blocks quite often for a long time.
So don't waste power and let the CPU sleep.
This might also increase the performance as the other cores might be allowed to clock higher.
The job of this abstraction is to provide staging buffers for temporary
operations. Think of image uploads or buffer uploads to device memory.
It automatically deletes unused buffers.
This object's job is to contain an image and manage its transitions.
Since Nvidia hardware doesn't know what a transition is but Vulkan
requires them anyway, we have to state track image subresources
individually.
To avoid the overhead of tracking each subresource in images with many
subresources (think of cubemap arrays with several mipmaps), this commit
tracks when subresources have diverged. As long as this doesn't happen
we can check the state of the first subresource (that will be shared
with all subresources) and update accordingly.
Image transitions are deferred to the scheduler command buffer.
The intention behind this hasheable structure is to describe the state
of fixed function pipeline state that gets compiled to a single graphics
pipeline state object. This is all dynamic state in OpenGL but Vulkan
wants it in an immutable state, even if hardware can edit it freely.
In this commit the structure is defined in an optimized state (it uses
booleans, has paddings and many data entries that can be packed to
single integers). This is intentional as an initial implementation that
is easier to debug, implement and review. It will be optimized in later
stages, or it might change if Vulkan gets more dynamic states.
This commit adds a series of HLE methods for handling 3D textures in
general. This helps games that generate 3D textures on every frame and
may reduce loading times for certain games.
Remove false commentary. Not dividing by 4 the size of shared memory is
not a hack; it describes the number of integers, not bytes.
While we are at it sort the generated code to put preprocessor lines on
the top.
ExprCondCode visit implements the generic Visit. Use this instead of
that one.
As an intended side effect this fixes unwritten memory usages in cases
when a negation of a condition code is used.
This allows us to put VKFenceWatch inside a std::vector without storing
it in heap. On move we have to signal the fences where the new protected
resource is, adding some overhead.
VK_NV_device_diagnostic_checkpoints allows us to push data to a Vulkan
queue and then query it even after a device loss. This allows us to push
the current pipeline object and see what was the call that killed the
device.
