[cogl] Improving Cogl journal to minimize driver overheads + GPU state changes
The Cogl journal is a mechanism Cogl uses to batch geometry resulting from
any of the cogl_rectangle* functions before sending it to OpenGL. This aims
to improve the Cogl journal so that it can reduce the number of state
changes and draw calls we issue to the OpenGL driver and hopfully improve
performance.
Previously each call to any of the cogl_rectangle* functions would imply an
immediate GL draw call, as well as a corresponding modelview change;
material state changes and gl{Vertex,Color,TexCoord}Pointer calls. Now
though we have tried to open the scope for batching up as much as possible
so we only have to flush the geometry either before calling glXSwapBuffers,
or when we change state that isn't tracked by the journal.
As a basic example, it's now possible for us to batch typical picking
renders into a single draw call for the whole scene.
Some key points about this change:
- We now perform transformations of quads in software (except for long runs of
text which continue to use VBOs)
* It might seem surprising at first, but when you consider that so many
Clutter actors are little more than textured quads and each actor
typically implies a modelview matrix change; the costs involved in
setting up the GPU with the new modelview can easily out weigh the cost
of simply transforming 4 vertices.
- We always use Cogl's own client side matrix API now.
* We found the performance of querying the OpenGL driver for matrix state
was often worse than using the client matrix code, and also - discussing
with Mesa developers - agreed that since khronos has essentially
deprecated the GL matrix API (by removing it from OpenGL 3 and
OpenGL-ES 2) it was appropriate to take full responsibility for all our
matrix manipulation.
- Developers should avoid modifying materials mid-scene.
* With the exception of material color changes, if you try and modify a
material that is referenced in the journal we will currently force a
journal flush. Note: you can assume that re-setting the same value for
a material property won't require a flush though.
- Several new --cogl-debug options have been added
* "disable-batching" can be used to identify bugs in the way that the
journal does its batching; of could this shouldn't ever be needed :-)
* "disable-vbos" can be used to test the VBO fallback paths where we
simply use malloc()'d buffers instead.
* "batching" lets you get an overview of how the journal is batching
your geometry and may help you identify ways to improve your
application performance.
* "journal" lets you trace all the geometry as it gets logged in the
journal, and all the geometry as its flushed from the journal.
Obviously an inconsistency can identify a bug, but the numbers may
help you verify application logic too.
* "disable-software-transform" as implied will instead use the driver
/GPU to transform quads by the modelview matrix.
Although committed separately a --clutter-debug=nop-picking option was
also added that lets you remove picking from the equation, which can
sometimes help make problem analysis more deterministic.
