Implement VOTE using Nvidia's intrinsics. Documentation about these can
be found here
https://developer.nvidia.com/reading-between-threads-shader-intrinsics
Instead of using portable ARB instructions I opted to use Nvidia
intrinsics because these are the closest we have to how Tegra X1
hardware renders.
To stub VOTE on non-Nvidia drivers (including nouveau) this commit
simulates a GPU with a warp size of one, returning what is meaningful
for the instruction being emulated:
* anyThreadNV(value) -> value
* allThreadsNV(value) -> value
* allThreadsEqualNV(value) -> true
ballotARB, also known as "uint64_t(activeThreadsNV())", emits
VOTE.ANY Rd, PT, PT;
on nouveau's compiler. This doesn't match exactly to Nvidia's code
VOTE.ALL Rd, PT, PT;
Which is emulated with activeThreadsNV() by this commit. In theory this
shouldn't really matter since .ANY, .ALL and .EQ affect the predicates
(set to PT on those cases) and not the registers.
This commit implements gl_ViewportIndex and gl_Layer in vertex and
geometry shaders. In the case it's used in a vertex shader, it requires
ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array. This extension is available on AMD and
Nvidia devices (mesa and proprietary drivers), but not available on
Intel on any platform. At the moment of writing this description I don't
know if this is a hardware limitation or a driver limitation.
In the case that ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array is not available,
writes to these registers on a vertex shader are ignored, with the
appropriate logging.
Instead of passing by copy an execution context through out the whole
Vulkan call hierarchy, use a command buffer view and fence view
approach.
This internally dereferences the command buffer or fence forcing the
user to be unable to use an outdated version of it on normal usage.
It is still possible to keep store an outdated if it is casted to
VKFence& or vk::CommandBuffer.
While changing this file, add an extra parameter for Flush and Finish to
allow releasing the fence from this calls.
Hardware testing revealed that SSY and PBK push to a different stack,
allowing code like this:
SSY label1;
PBK label2;
SYNC;
label1: PBK;
label2: EXIT;
Instead of having a vector of unique_ptr stored in a vector and
returning star pointers to this, use shared_ptr. While changing
initialization code, move it to a separate file when possible.
This is a first step to allow code analysis and node generation beyond
the ShaderIR class.
Fix missing OpSelectionMerge instruction. This caused devices loses on
most hardware, Intel didn't care.
Fix [-1;1] -> [0;1] depth conversions.
Conditionally use VK_EXT_scalar_block_layout. This allows us to use
non-std140 layouts on UBOs.
Update external Vulkan headers.
Keeps track of native ASTC support, VK_EXT_scalar_block_layout
availability and SSBO range.
Check for independentBlend and vertexPipelineStorageAndAtomics as a
required feature. Always enable it.
Use vk::to_string format to log Vulkan enums.
Style changes.
flushing is now responsability of children caches instead of the cache
object. This change will allow the specific cache to pass extra
parameters on flushing and will allow more flexibility.
Operations done before the main half float operation (like HAdd) were
managing a packed value instead of the unpacked one. Adding an unpacked
operation allows us to drop the per-operand MetaHalfArithmetic entry,
simplifying the code overall.
Replaces header inclusions with forward declarations where applicable
and also removes unused headers within the cpp file. This reduces a few
more dependencies on core/memory.h
Removes a few unnecessary dependencies on core-related machinery, such
as the core.h and memory.h, which reduces the amount of rebuilding
necessary if those files change.
This also uncovered some indirect dependencies within other source
files. This also fixes those.
This manages two kinds of streaming buffers: one for unified memory
models and one for dedicated GPUs. The first one skips the copy from the
staging buffer to the real buffer, since it creates an unified buffer.
This implementation waits for all fences to finish their operation
before "invalidating". This is suboptimal since it should allocate
another buffer or start searching from the beginning. There is room for
improvement here.
This could also handle AMD's "pinned" memory (a heap with 256 MiB) that
seems to be designed for buffer streaming.
The scheduler abstracts command buffer and fence management with an
interface that's able to do OpenGL-like operations on Vulkan command
buffers.
It returns by value a command buffer and fence that have to be used for
subsequent operations until Flush or Finish is executed, after that the
current execution context (the pair of command buffers and fences) gets
invalidated a new one must be fetched. Thankfully validation layers will
quickly detect if this is skipped throwing an error due to modifications
to a sent command buffer.
Handles a pool of resources protected by fences. Manages resource
overflow allocating more resources.
This class is intended to be used through inheritance.
Fences take ownership of objects, protecting them from GPU-side or
driver-side concurrent access. They must be commited from the resource
manager. Their usage flow is: commit the fence from the resource
manager, protect resources with it and use them, send the fence to an
execution queue and Wait for it if needed and then call Release. Used
resources will automatically be signaled when they are free to be
reused.
VKDevice contains all the data required to manage and initialize a
physical device. Its intention is to be passed across Vulkan objects to
query device-specific data (for example the logical device and the
dispatch loader).
This file is intended to be included instead of vulkan/vulkan.hpp. It
includes declarations of unique handlers using a dynamic dispatcher
instead of a static one (which would require linking to a Vulkan
library).
