Fo ILK: Note that for writes, if you're poking into memory (drm_intel_bo_map), then clflush is not sufficient, you also need to flush the GWB. Check out the agp chipset flush code. If you're going through GTT (drm_intel_gem_bo_map_gtt), then you don't need clfush, just a posting read. If you're trying to get streaming write performance, the best way is probably the GTT. If you're trying to get streaming read performance, the best way is likely also the GTT with movntdqa. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
