Also updates comment.
We know the implementation is incomplete and needs refinement, but it
seems useful to commit as a starting point for further work.
This exposes interfaces to render glyphs into a texture atlas. The main changes are:
* Methods to plumb raw Metal GPU resources (device, texture, etc) into piet-gpu-hal objects.
* A new glyph_render API specialized to rendering glyphs. This is basically the same as just painting to a canvas, but will allow better caching (and has more direct access to fonts, bypassing the Piet font type which is underdeveloped).
* Ability to render to A8 target in addition to RGBA.
WIP, there are some rough edges, not least of which is that the image format changes are only on mac and cause compile errors elsewhere.
Fix incorrect workgroup sizes, and change strategy for assigning binding
numbers; ultimately we should get correct values for those from shader
compilation, but this works for now.
This patch contains the core of the path stream processing, though some
integration bits are missing. The core logic is tested, though
combinations of path types, transforms, and line widths are not (yet).
Progress towards #119
The one that takes T is more useful than the one that takes references
to T. When specialization lands, we will be able to have both under the
`extend` name.
This patch includes a number of changes to encourage reading and writing
buffers through mapping rather than copying data as before.
This includes a new `BufWrite` abstraction which is designed for filling
buffers. It behaves much like a Vec<u8>, but with fixed capacity.
Reduce allocation of descriptor heaps. This change also enables clearing
of buffers, as the handles are needed at command dispatch time.
Also updates the tests to use clear_buffers on DX12. Looking forward to
being able to get rid of the compute shader workaround on Metal.
This is a followup on #125, and progress toward #95
Integrate DXC for translating HLSL for use in DX12. This will work
around FXC limitations and unlock the use of more advanced HLSL features
such as subgroups.
This hardcodes the use of DXIL, but it could be adapted (with a bit of
effort) to choose between DXIL and HLSL at runtime.
This gets it working on mac. Also delete old implementation.
There's also an update to winit 0.25 in here, because it was easier to
roll forward than fix inconsistent Cargo.lock. At some point, we should
systematically update all deps.
Use an array of bindtypes rather than the previous situation, which was
a choice of buffer counts, or a heavier builder pattern.
The main thing this unlocks is distinguishing between readonly and
read/write buffers, which is important for DX12.
This is WIP, the Metal part hasn't been done, and the old stuff not
deleted.
Part of #125
This was motivated by experiments with the Vulkan memory model. To use
that, we actually need to explicitly enable the relevant feature on
device creation time. That's a lot easier to do now that push_next works
on the structs in that chain. This PR doesn't do that though, it only
upgrades the dependency and cleans up deprecations.
Reuse submitted command buffers rather than continually allocating them.
This patch also improves the story across the different backends. On
DX12 it was reusing allocators without resetting them, which could be a
leak. And on Metal the reset "fails," so there's always a new alloc.
This patch gets rid of warnings and runs cargo fmt.
A lot of the warnings were unused items (especially in DX12 land). At
some point we might want to bring some of that back, at which point it
might be useful to refer to what was deleted in this commit.
Pipeline the CPU and GPU work so that two frames can be in flight at
once.
This dramatically improves the performance especially on Android. Note
that I've also changed the default configuration to be 3 frames in
flight and FIFO mode.
This patch deallocates command buffers after command submission completes (the same time as other resources are released).
It should be portable and robust on all back-ends, but not necessarily the most efficient. But reuse of command buffers, as well as more efficient allocation on Vulkan and DX12, are for followup work.
Make the scene dependent on timing.
This commit patches the HAL to reuse command buffers; this works well on
Vulkan and prevents a leak, but breaks the other back-ends. That will
require a solution, possibly including plumbing up the resource lifetime
responsibilities to the client.
Other things might be hacky as well.
Separate out render context upload from renderer creation. Upload ramps
to GPU buffer. Encode gradients to scene description. Fix a number of
bugs in uploading and processing.
This renders gradients in a test image, but has some shortcomings. For
one, staging buffers need to be applied for a couple things (they're
just host mapped for now). Also, the interaction between sRGB and
premultiplied alpha isn't quite right. The size of the gradient ramp
buffer is fixed and should be dynamic.
And of course there's always more optimization to be done, including
making the upload of gradient ramps more incremental, and probably
hashing of the stops instead of the processed ramps.
WIP. Most of the GPU-side work should be done (though it's not tested
end-to-end and it's certainly possible I missed something), but still
needs work on encoding side.
It worked ok on Vulkan but is causing problems on DX12 and Metal. Punt
for now and come back to this later when we do more sophisticated
resource management.
Move types into the toplevel and hide implementation details. Remove
deref of hub CmdBuf to mux. Restrict public visibility of internals.
Most items have some docs, though improvements are still possible. In
particular, there should be detailed safety info.
This gets a swapchain displayed and fills out a number of the image
related parts of the API: image creation, binding to descriptor sets,
and blitting.
Add workgroup size to dispatch call (needed by metal). Change all fence
references to mutable for consistency.
Move backend traits to a separate file (move them out of the toplevel
namespace in preparation for the hub types going there, to make the
public API nicer).
Add a method and macro for automatically choosing shader code, and
change collatz example to generate all 3 kinds on build.
A bunch of loose ends remain, including needing to plumb the size of the
workgroup through. Image and swapchains also need to be added. But it
does run collatz.
Progress towards #95.
