- Noticed a glitch on AMD hw and windows drivers where discard seems to affect entire 4x4 cells.
- Dead fragments (outside the primitive boundary) could have their discards trigger as they do not have proper access to variables.
- This introduces dead fragments along triangle edges, causing a diagonal line pattern across the screen that is very annoying.
- Improve support for float16_t by minimizing mixed inputs to functions
(ambiguous overloads)
- Minimize amount of downcasts in code by using opcode flags
- Re-enable float16_t support for vulkan
- Emulating f16 with f32 is not ideal and requires a lot of value clamping
- Using native data type can significantly improve performance and accuracy
- With openGL, check for the compatible extensions NV_gpu_shader5 and
AMD_gpu_shader_half_float
- With Vulkan, enable this functionality in the deviceFeatures if
applicable. (VK_KHR_shader_float16_int8 extension)
- Temporarily disable hw fp16 for vulkan
- Compute is now used to assist in some parts of blit operations, since there are no format conversions with vulkan like OGL does
- TODO: Integrate this into all types of GPU memory conversion operations instead of downloading to CPU then converting
- A new step is added between decompilation and pipeline object creation allowing for properties to be updated based on shader contents
- Allos masking off attachment writes that are unmodified in the shader
