Rob Clark f10bd0a0e1 freedreno/ir3: "soft" depth scheduling for SFU instructions
First try with a "soft" depth, to try to schedule sfu instructions
further from their consumers, but fall back to hard depth (which might
result in stalling) if nothing else is avail to schedule.

Previously the consumer of a sfu instruction could end up scheduled
immediately after (since "hard" depth from sfu to consumer would be 0).
This works because legalize pass would insert a (ss) sync bit, but it
is sub-optimal since it would cause a stall.

Instead prioritize other instructions for 4 cycles if they would no
cause a nop to be inserted.  This minimizes the stalling.  There is a
slight penalty in general to overall # of instructions in shader (since
we could end up needing nop's later due to scheduling the "deeper" sfu
consumer later), but ends up being a wash on register pressure.

Overall this seems to be worth a 10+% gain in fps.  Increasing the
"soft" depth of sfu consumer beyond 4 helps a bit in some cases, but 4
seems to be a good trade-off between getting 99% of the gain and not
increasing instruction count of shaders too much.

It's possible a similar approach could help for tex/mem instructions,
but the (sy) sync bit seems to trigger a switch to a different thread-
group to hide memory latency (possibly with some limits depending on
number of registers used?).

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.
