This adds a prefix sum test. This patch is also trying to get a little
more serious about structuring both the test runner (toward the goal of
collecting proper statistics) and pipeline stages for the tests.
Still WIP but giving good results.
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.
The flag read needs acquire semantics. There are a number of ways that
could be expressed, but a generally portable way is to have a barrier
after. However, in the translation to Metal, that barrier needs to be in
uniform control flow. This patch does some workarounds to ensure that.
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.
If there is a command buffer in flight on exit from the winit app, wait
on it so that the resources get destroyed cleanly.
There may be a more aggressive strategy to quick-exit, but this is
probably the most reliable approach and I see it in other code bases.
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.
memoryBarrierBuffer is mapped to the threadgroup_barrier function in
Metal, which is a control barrier that must be executed by all threads
(or none). This change establishes that property for the two memory
barriers we have.
While here, remove ENABLE_IMAGE_INDICES completely; it was disabled in
an earlier change.

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.
Don't recompute the parameters from quadratic subdivision, but rather
retain them across the two phases (summing the subdivision estimate, and
generating the subdivisions). The motivation for this is that the values
were subtly different (differing by 1 or 2 least signficant bits) across
the two phases. It *might* also be faster depending on ALU/memory
relative performance.
Fixes#107
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.
