Francisco Jerez c3c1aa5aeb intel/fs: Restrict live intervals to the subset possibly reachable from any definition.
Currently the liveness analysis pass would extend a live interval up
to the top of the program when no unconditional and complete
definition of the variable is found that dominates all of its uses.

This can lead to a serious performance problem in shaders containing
many partial writes, like scalar arithmetic, FP64 and soon FP16
operations.  The number of oversize live intervals in such workloads
can cause the compilation time of the shader to explode because of the
worse than quadratic behavior of the register allocator and scheduler
when running out of registers, and it can also cause the running time
of the shader to explode due to the amount of spilling it leads to,
which is orders of magnitude slower than GRF memory.

This patch fixes it by computing the intersection of our current live
intervals with the subset of the program that can possibly be reached
from any definition of the variable.  Extending the storage allocation
of the variable beyond that is pretty useless because its value is
guaranteed to be undefined at a point that cannot be reached from any
definition.

According to Jason, this improves performance of the subgroup Vulkan
CTS tests significantly (e.g. the runtime of the dvec4 broadcast test
improves by nearly 50x).

No significant change in the running time of shader-db (with 5%
statistical significance).

File: docs/README.WIN32

Last updated: 21 June 2013


Quick Start
----- -----

Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
no longer shipped or supported.

Run

  scons libgl-gdi

to build gallium based GDI driver.

This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.


Windows Drivers
------- -------

At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.

Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.

Recipe
------

Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are
steps that work as of this writing.

- install python 2.7
- install scons (latest)
- install mingw, flex, and bison
- install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
- install git
- download mesa from git
  see https://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
- run scons

General
-------

After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.

The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
stdcall calling convention.

Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
the linker import files associated with the DLL files.

The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
mainly to get the better tessellator code.

If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
