This uses a ring buffer similar to OpenGL's stream buffer for small
uploads. This stops us from allocating several small buffers, reducing
memory fragmentation and cache locality.
It uses dedicated allocations when possible.
Reimplement the buffer cache using cached bindings and page level
granularity for modification tracking. This also drops the usage of
shared pointers and virtual functions from the cache.
- Bindings are cached, allowing to skip work when the game changes few
bits between draws.
- OpenGL Assembly shaders no longer copy when a region has been modified
from the GPU to emulate constant buffers, instead GL_EXT_memory_object
is used to alias sub-buffers within the same allocation.
- OpenGL Assembly shaders stream constant buffer data using
glProgramBufferParametersIuivNV, from NV_parameter_buffer_object. In
theory this should save one hash table resolve inside the driver
compared to glBufferSubData.
- A new OpenGL stream buffer is implemented based on fences for drivers
that are not Nvidia's proprietary, due to their low performance on
partial glBufferSubData calls synchronized with 3D rendering (that
some games use a lot).
- Most optimizations are shared between APIs now, allowing Vulkan to
cache more bindings than before, skipping unnecesarry work.
This commit adds the necessary infrastructure to use Vulkan object from
OpenGL. Overall, it improves performance and fixes some bugs present on
the old cache. There are still some edge cases hit by some games that
harm performance on some vendors, this are planned to be fixed in later
commits.
Workaround an issue on Nvidia where creating a Vulkan instance from an
active OpenGL thread disables threaded optimization on the driver.
This optimization is important to have good performance on Nvidia
OpenGL.
Instead of using a two step initialization to report errors, initialize
the GPU renderer and rasterizer on the constructor and report errors
through std::runtime_error.
Allow users of the allocator to hint memory usage for downloads. This
removes the non-descriptive boolean passed for "host visible" or not
host visible memory commits, and uses an enum to hint device local,
upload and download usages.
For listing the available physical devices we can use Vulkan 1.0.
Now that MoltenVK supports 1.1 we can require it for running games.
Add missing documentation.
Report device enumeration errors with exceptions to be consistent with
other initialization related function calls. Reduces the amount of code
to maintain.
Move surface initialization code to a separate file. It's unlikely to
use this code outside of Vulkan, but keeping platform-specific code
(Win32, Xlib, Wayland) in its own translation unit keeps things cleaner.
Initialize debug callbacks (messenger) from a separate file. This allows
sharing code with different backends.
Change our Vulkan error handling to use exceptions instead of error
codes, simplifying the initialization process.
