Currently colclip uses 2 passes to wrap the output of blending unit
However some blending mode are only a plain copy (of 0 or Cs or Cd).
So no overflow of [0:255], no need to wrap it
Note: I saw those cases in GoW.
Persistent is slower (at least on my gs dump) because data is put
in host instead of the video memory
I don't understand why upload the data directly to the video memory
is faster
Initially we copy pitch by line in the PBO and tell the dma to only
use the first valid byte.
Now, we only copy useful data to the PBO. It reduce the copy and PBO memory requirement.
It seems a bit faster on native resolution
Initially I was afraid of the size increase but it can be
higly compressed.
Sometimes image was computed inside a RT but never outputed to
the screen which remains black. It is annoying to see the glitches
Much faster for small batch that write the alpha value. Code can
be enabled with accurate_date option.
Here a summary of all DATE possibilities:
1/ no overlap of primitive
=> texture barrier (pro no setup of stencil and single draw)
2/ alpha written
=> small batch => texture barrier (primitive by primitive). Done in N-primitive draw calls.
(based on GL_ARB_texture_barrier)
=> bigger batch => compute the first good primitive, slow but only 2 draw calls.
(based on GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store)
=> Otherwise there is the UserHacks_AlphaStencil but it is a hack!
3/ alpha written
=> full setup of stencil ( 2 draw calls)
No barrier => draw all primitives
Barrier but without overlap => draw all primitives
Barrier with overlap => draw primitive by primitve
It will ease the implementation of accurate blending and why not date too
Group opengl calls into a nice name.
Apitrace shows them in a tree format that support folding. Previously it
was a long flat list (10K-40K of lines by frame)
I align the call number with the internal s_n variable. This way it is
easy to map GSdx dump output with the GL debugger :)
initialization of IDC_ROUND_SPRITE
set&get config for round offset.
three state checkbox for the hack.
define IDC for round offset.
Linux (GUI) refresh.
typo
0: don't dump input texture
1: dump input texture
Now, you can do a first pass with only RT. When you find the wrong call, you can redump the input texture of the bad draw.
Initial code use a PBO to do asynchronous transfer. It is silly because
GSdx doesn't use this free time. So let's use a sync read. Same speed but
no PBO to manage.
-- slower (but that a debug feature)
++ smaller (40x-50x)
++ native support of alpha
Require libpng++ and the define ENABLE_OGL_PNG
Note: depth is not supported yet.
This way ogl_vertex_storage must be safer to activate
And it brings a nice performance boost (game with lots of primitives and
reasonable upscaling)
SotC testcase 4x: 61fps => 78fps
If there is no overlap, it is allowed to directly read from the render target.
On SotC testcase with 6x scaling: 30fps -> 40fps
Note: it requires GL_ARB_texture_barrier extension so be sure to have a recent driver
Note2: it requires a lots of testing too
Open question: in case of complex date (written alpha)
Will it be faster to split the draw call into multiple call with no
primitive overlap
ogl_texture_storage 1 creates texture corruption.
Advance date is too slow, code need to be updated (properly) to uses 2 passes only not 3
Maybe one could be enough (sometimes)
DATE is implemented in 2 ways.
1/ with stencil
2/ purely in FS (sw)
I kept method 1 to reduce the work on method 2. It sucks for performance.
So it would be either 1 or 2.
Note: DATE has a big impact on higher upscaling
Note2: you can disable the 2nd method with this configuration parameter
override_GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store = 0
Note yet enabled because I'm afraid of data corruption but feel free to test it
The option:
ogl_vertex_storage = 1
Performance note (warm cache+gs replay on colin3)
60 fps -> 76 fps
UserHacks_UnscaleSprite = 1 will unscale flat sprites
UserHacks_UnscaleSprite = 2 will unscale all sprites (don't work well so far)
The idea of the hack is to redo the interpolation of texture coordinate
based on the non-upscaled pixel position.
It avoids various glitches but sprites aren't upscaled anymore (so no
more anti-aliasing, potentially a coefficient can be added).
* separate VS/GS and FS
* separate subroutine part of the FS
It already complex enough without subroutine stuff. Besides I'm not sure
we will keep subroutine on the future.
If someone has a more elegant solution, feel free to share it
spin_thread = 0
spin_thread = 1 // the faster but GS thread will never stop, very bad for laptop
It is faster on linux, it requires less code, and it is "portable"
It requires boost (only hpp files) + MSVC 2013 (for atomic) (seem doable by 2012 too)
Actually there are several queues that either use spinlock or full sleep
* Use tooltip for hack
* Update string of previous hack
* Remove unused hack
Note: hack_sprite_check requires 3 states (and potentially others hack too) but
I don't know how to do it. It likely requires a "scale button"
It works as bad as a "clever" implementation.
It seems to be enough for games such as venus/taisho-monoke/FFX
Note: it might creates glitches. Code will never be nice, so it is just
a trade-off
-1 is annoying because minimum value is 0. Instead to add more logic,
let's try to use 0 which seems to be good enough (fix regressions on DQ8/AT)
Unfortunately it causes a mini regression on taisho-mononoke. Rotation of sprite is done with 2 triangles.
Potentially previous value wrongly recover this section.
Tekken is broken with setting UserHacks_round_sprite_offset = 2 use 1 instead.
=> game use upscaling internaly so my rounding of coordinate break everything
Yakuza uses float coordinate but this hack only correct the integer coordinate
=> the solution will be to add a dedicated hack for this game.
Colin3 got a regression but I don't know when...
PS2 uses a -0.5 offset before sampling so texels must be rounded to half-pixel boundary
If fixes glitches on Venus and taisho-mononoke
Note: I didn't fixed yet texture render in reverse because I don't have any test for it.
UserHacks_round_sprite_offset = 1 <= enable correction of flat sprites
UserHacks_round_sprite_offset = 2 <= enable correction of all sprites (better on a couple of dump but not sure of the consequence)
I completely redo the algorithm. This time I do the projection and
interpolation of the 2 extrem vertex. This way I can compute the min/max
valid texture coordinate.
It gives stronger guarantee that texture sampling will be done inside the texture.
However it might have a performance impact, likely reasonable because it
is limited to sprite vertex.
A big thanks you to all people that provide me GS dump and test reports.
It is replacement of the previous hack (UserHacks_stretch_sprite). Don't enable both in the same time!
The idea of the hack is to move the sprite to the pixel boundary. It
avoids most of rounding issue. It also rescales verticaly the sprite (avoid horizontal line on ace combat).
I don't like this rescaling maybe we can limit it to only 1 pixels.
On my limited testcase, results are much better with any upscaling factor.
I still have a bad line in Kingdom heart. If you have issue with others
game please provide us a GS dump.
2x upscaling is pixel perfects. Bigger upscaling is better but not yet perfect
Feedbacks are welcomes (note it doesn't solve all upscaling issue, only wrong texture sampling)
For the history:
If you have a texture of [0;16[ texels and draws a primitive [0;16[
The formulae to sample last pixels of texture is
0.5 + (16*s-1)/(16*s) * 16
Native (s==1): 15.5 (good)
2x (s==2): 16 (bad, outside of the texture)
4x (s==4): 16.25 (bad, really outside of the texure))
+ This is not yet perfect. Really, this standard seems like a load of crap to me in fact...
At least it works now. Should test again when gcc 5 & new c++ libs gets out.. Until then, it will do.
On Linux, CPUs with AVX2 instruction sets that have TSX disabled (by
microcode update or otherwise) fail to build GSdx. The __RTM__ macro is
undefined, with leads to the TSX RTM instruction set (_xbegin, _xend,
_xabort, etc.) being unavailable.
Modify the preprocessor check so that the RTM instructions are only used
if available.
It conflicts with the global definition
I don't remember why this option was set on GSdx. Potentially it could be dropped (or fixed correctly)
Anyway, it will help to enable Address Sanitizer on Linux Build
+ Implement threads/mutex using std::thread/std::mutex/std::condition_variable
+ Old implementation can be used by commenting out the "define _STD_THREAD_ in GSThread.h
+ Commit should be much cleaner than previous one.
Note: of course it requires a glsl shader ;)
On windows, you can set the path on the ini file. Here an example with linux path:

shaderfx_glsl = /home/gregory/playstation/emulateur/pcsx2_merge/bin/shader.fx
I need to check carefully the consequence of ABI change. So far wx is very unhappy!

(avoid to have a texture and depth_stencil with different size)
Note: except minor shader bug it works on Nvidia 340.23.01
This doesn't update the file to the latest version from mingw32 since this is already a custom header stripped from mingw32.
This also fixes the functions for x86_64(verified that it still works for both architectures) and also updates the version inside of GSdx.
Also removes a comment in the GSdx header saying that these functions are broken since they no longer are.
deassert gsopen_done before delete the gs object. Compiler and CPU will

A bit slower. Maybe because SubData does the copy in the driver thread. My memcpy is done on
the main thread. I'm not sure it would worth an extra thread to copy vertex data to the GPU
Note: testers are welcome. You need to edit the ini file.
"ogl_vertex_storage=1" <= enable the extension
"ogl_vertex_storage=0" <= disable the extension
Again you need the support of GL_arb_buffer_storage (i.e. not catalyst)
Improve arb_buffer_storage implementation
Try harder to align the texture buffer
Strangely arb_buffer_storage is 3 times slower on my PC (nvidia)
Tester are welcome! Open the ini file
"ogl_texture_storage = 1" <= enable the extension
"ogl_texture_storage = 0" <= disable the extension
Note: you need an opengl 4.4 driver or one that support arb_buffer_storage (i.e. not catalyst)
This hack was used because GSReadFifo was called from the EE thread.
Previous commit move the call to the GSThread.
Hopefully avoid flushing the full GPU contex would improve openGL
performance (at least avoid some hiccups ;) )
Note: newer GSdx ogl won't be compatible with older PCSX2

You can disable it when you disable gl image extension (override_GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store = 0)
You can also enable it on AMD too (set it to 1 this time) but no guarantee.
If you feel the extension is too slow, you can try disable some gl barrier (aka "damn the torpedo full steam ahead!").
It can be done with the option UserHacks_DateGL4 = 1. Otherwise just disable the extension.
Note: don't enable UserHacks_AlphaStencil in the same time. GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store is an alternative implementation.
Enabling both in the same time will lead to undefined (well surely wrong) behavior.

Best setting if you driver support GL_NV_depth_buffer_float => GL_NV_Depth = 1 & logz = 0
Otherwise => GL_NV_Depth = 0 & logz = 1
Explanation of the bug:
Dx z position ranges from 0.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
Why it sucks:
GS small depth value will be "mapped" to -1.0f. In others all small values will be 1.0f! Terrible lost
of accuraccy.
The GL_NV_depth_buffer_float extension allow to set the near plane as -1.0f.
So
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)"
will become
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges -1.0f to 1.0f)"
and therefore
"z posision [0.0f;1.0f] will map to FS [0.0f;1.0f]" as DX
Yes we just get back all precision lost previously :)
However you need hardware (intel?) and driver support (free driver?/gles?) :(

Add another scanline algorithm, made by pseudonym. This one is pretty fancy, using a cosinus function for generating the dark lines.

* GL_ARB_shader_subroutine for perf
fix for nvidia => add missing shader declaration. Nvidia got +4fps on colin3 :)
For the moment only 2 PS parameters are supported. Code need to be extended to support others games that often
switch shader program (like xenosaga).
require GL4 class hardware and the option override_GL_ARB_shader_subroutine = 1
Note: strangely on AMD linux it is slower!
* GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store for accuraccy (Date)
Use a signed integer texture and reenable color buffer writing
Current status: Amagami_transparency.gs & P3_battle_shadows.gs are now working on Nvidia with a small perf impact.
Current implementation detail:
1/ setup the standard stencil as before
2/ on remaining pixel, draw once to compute first primitive that will write a fail alpha value.
3/ final draw based on primitive id of step 2
Note: I think we would get a bad behavior if depth test&mask are enabled on step 2/3
Note2: on my limited testcase the perf impact was on CPU. It would be possible to merge step1&2 to nullifying it (could
even be faster actually), however it would require more GPU power.
Again require GL4 class hardware. And the option UserHacks_DateGL4 = 1

Card that support gs:
remain only a gs to generate sprite from a line. Even dummy gs are costly for the GPU.
Card that don't support gs:
remove useless copy of color for line and triangle primitives
Note for dx: opengl 3.2 (maybe not gles) supports both flat interpolation
convention (GL_FIRST_VERTEX_CONVENTION or GL_LAST_VERTEX_CONVENTION). It might
be possible to shuffle vertex index to put the last vertex in first position.

The idea was to replace shader program swith by pointer function calls inside
shaders. At least parameters that are often changed between draw call. So far
I only ported atst and colclip. Unfortunately code is "slower" (on GSdx standalone).
For the moment keep the code but disabled.
If I understand well the validation of program is done in the "driver thread"
but the additional call are done in the overloaded MTGS thread. Apitrace
profiling shows faster GPU draw calls. Another possibility is that the driver still
need to validate the draw call because of others state change.
Here some stats on colin3 (90 frames):
without subroutine: UseProgram 125246
with subroutine: UseProgram 2906, subroutine 125945 => 3605 extra calls overhead (not
all parameters are ported to subroutine)

Note: I think we can do the same on DX11
Perf wise: on colin mcrae 3 it reduces shader prog setup from 3005 to 2086 each frames. It saves 2 ms of CPU processing (27->29fps)

* move most of gl states into a separate namespace. Extend it to depth/stencil/blend micro state
=> save 10,000 opengl call by frame for colin mcrae 3
* Only setup blend state of first drawbuffer
* Don't request anymore a debug context on dev/release build
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5713 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* clean extension management and fix compilation of previous gl44 code.
* Use pixel buffer object to upload texture data.
=> avoid crash on AMD driver
=> a bit faster and probably got some margins for the future

* preliminary work for GL4.4 extensions (ARB_clear_texture & ARB_multi_bind). Disabled until I got a 4.4 driver
Note: I plan also to use ARB_buffer_storage
* compute texture gl option in the constructor (avoid a couple of swith case)
* redo texture unit management. Unit 0-2 for shaders, Unit 3 for texture operations. MultiBind will allow to bind
shader input without disturbing texture binding points.
