In order to achieve the same behavior, one must instrument every GPU client to use that interface before, and after every batch (you can skip one if you're positive all clients have opted in). Also, every client must be run as root. This mechanism I've introduced is much simpler to achieve the intended result. > -- > Daniel Vetter > Software Engineer, Intel Corporation > +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch -- Ben Widawsky, Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
