Hi folks,
This is my early draft on the threaded shader compile "suggestion"
thread. The requirements according the spec are rather weak as
it is up to the implementation, which frankly can even just ignore
the requested thread count. However, afaik in the case of radeonsi
it is already threaded. Anyhoo I just wanted to get some feedback..
Thanks for working on this. As others said, 90% of the work is
elsewhere. Some thoughts on that:
Since radeonsi already does parallelization of the backend compile, this
extension should control the sum of threads used for frontend *and*
backend compiles. In practice, that should mean having a single thread
pool which services both types of compiles (and links).
My first thought would be to have a driver-allocated util_queue which
gets passed across the Gallium and Mesa interfaces -- or perhaps have a
driver function table entry for kicking off asynchronous compiles and links.
Cheers,
Nicolai
