- Renormalizes arbitrary N-bit values as 8-bit normalized.
- NV hardware performs integer normalization at 8 bits if the size is less than 8.
- This can cause significant arithmetic drift because the error is multiplied by a huge number when sampling.
- Uncacheable resources can be reused as soon as they're made visible to the draw call.
- Since they're likely to be reused every draw call until the shader changes, it is important to reuse as much as possible
- Separate displayed statistics from actual backend statistics.
Allows asynchronous flipping to work correctly as it just uses display stats.
The real stats are used by the frame scope marker to determine behavior like engaging the FIFO optimizer or skipping draw calls correctly.
- This allows creating buffers with no MAP bits set which should ensure they are created for VRAM usage only
- TODO: Implement compute kernels to avoid software fallback mode for pack/unpack operations
- Fix reading of varying registers in FP
Different registers have different behavior
- Always write to varying registers. If a register is not written to, it is initialized to (0, 0, 0, 1)
- Reimplements two-sided lighting correctly without hacks
- Also bumps shader cache version
- Do not allow offloader to handle its own faults. Serialize them on RSX instead.
This approach introduces a GPU race condition that should be avoided with improved synchronization.
- TODO: Use proper GPU-side synchronization to avoid this situation
- Implements render target data load (aka Read Color Buffer/Read Depth Buffer)
- Refactors vulkan surface barrier to be much cleaner.
- Removes redundant surface barrier invocations after doing a merged load
from surface cache.
- Adds explicit access modes when gathering surfaces from cache.
- Further improve aliased data preservation by unconditionally scanning.
Its is possible for cache aliasing to occur when doing memory split.
- Also sets up for RCB/RDB implementation
- Merge viewport raster window and scissor into one clipping region
- Viewport raster clip is different from viewport geometry clipping in
hardware as the latter is configurable separately
- When multithreaded RSX is enabled, the vertex cache just lowers performance
- The small cost of upload is paid by the asynchronous thread, allowing RSX to work optimally
- Removes a lot of wm_event code that was used to perform window management and is no longer needed.
- Significantly simplifies the vulkan code.
- Implements resource management when vulkan window is minimized to allow resources to be freed.
- Allows render targets to behave like stacked 3D views same as shader inputs are resolved
- Basically implements most of 'Read Color/Depth Buffers" option for 'free'.
- Allows splitting RTV/DSV resources if they are superceded by a partial surface
- Also allows intersecting new resources through the surface cache for proper inheritance from other scattered data
- TODO: Refactor bind_surface_as_rtt and bind_surface_as_ds to reduce asinine code duplication
- Also refactors some bpp handling code
- Simplify texture intersection test to use a normalized/uniform coordinate space
- Fix broken bounds checking as well
