But for normal msvc builds i would put it at around 30-50%
Added per-xexmodule caching of information per instruction, can be used to remember what code needs compiling at start up
Record what guest addresses wrote mmio and backpropagate that to future runs, eliminating dependence on exception trapping. this makes many games like h3 actually tolerable to run under a debugger
fixed a number of errors where temporaries were being passed by reference/pointer
Can now be compiled with clang-cl 14.0.1, requires -Werror off though and some other solution/project changes.
Added macros wrapping compiler extensions like noinline, forceinline, __expect, and cold.
Removed the "global lock" in guest code completely. It does not properly emulate the behavior of mfmsrd/mtmsr and it seriously cripples amd cpus. Removing this yielded around a 3x speedup in Halo Reach for me.
Disabled the microprofiler for now. The microprofiler has a huge performance cost associated with it. Developers can re-enable it in the base/profiling header if they really need it
Disable the trace writer in release builds. despite just returning after checking if the file was open the trace functions were consuming about 0.60% cpu time total
Add IsValidReg, GetRegisterInfo is a huge (about 45k) branching function and using that to check if a register was valid consumed a significant chunk of time
Optimized RingBuffer::ReadAndSwap and RingBuffer::read_count. This gave us the largest overall boost in performance. The memcpies were unnecessary and one of them was always a no-op
Added simplification rules for multiplicative patterns like (x+x), (x<<1)+x
For the most frequently called win32 functions i added code to call their underlying NT implementations, which lets us skip a lot of MS code we don't care about/isnt relevant to our usecases
^this can be toggled off in the platform_win header
handle indirect call true with constant function pointer, was occurring in h3
lookup host format swizzle in denser array
by default, don't check if a gpu register is unknown, instead just check if its out of range. controlled by a cvar
^looking up whether its known or not took approx 0.3% cpu time
Changed some things in /cpu to make the project UNITYBUILD friendly
The timer thread was spinning way too much and consuming a ton of cpu, changed it to use a blocking wait instead
tagged some conditions as XE_UNLIKELY/LIKELY based on profiler feedback (will only affect clang builds)
Shifted around some code in CommandProcessor::WriteRegister based on how frequently it was executed
added support for docdecaduple precision floating point so that we can represent our performance gains numerically
tons of other stuff im probably forgetting
- Mainly use `assert`s, since failure is very rare
- Forward failure of `CreateSemaphore` to guests because it is more easy
to trigger with invalid initial parameters.
[GPU] Add FXAA post-processing
[UI] Add FidelityFX FSR and CAS post-processing
[UI] Add blue noise dithering from 10bpc to 8bpc
[GPU] Apply the DC PWL gamma ramp closer to the spec, supporting fully white color
[UI] Allow the GPU CP thread to present on the host directly, bypassing the UI thread OS paint event
[UI] Allow variable refresh rate (or tearing)
[UI] Present the newest frame (restart) on DXGI
[UI] Replace GraphicsContext with a far more advanced Presenter with more coherent surface connection and UI overlay state management
[UI] Connect presentation to windows via the Surface class, not native window handles
[Vulkan] Switch to simpler Vulkan setup with no instance/device separation due to interdependencies and to pass fewer objects around
[Vulkan] Lower the minimum required Vulkan version to 1.0
[UI/GPU] Various cleanup, mainly ComPtr usage
[UI] Support per-monitor DPI awareness v2 on Windows
[UI] DPI-scale Dear ImGui
[UI] Replace the remaining non-detachable window delegates with unified window event and input listeners
[UI] Allow listeners to safely destroy or close the window, and to register/unregister listeners without use-after-free and the ABA problem
[UI] Explicit Z ordering of input listeners and UI overlays, top-down for input, bottom-up for drawing
[UI] Add explicit window lifecycle phases
[UI] Replace Window virtual functions with explicit desired state, its application, actual state, its feedback
[UI] GTK: Apply the initial size to the drawing area
[UI] Limit internal UI frame rate to that of the monitor
[UI] Hide the cursor using a timer instead of polling due to no repeated UI thread paints with GPU CP thread presentation, and only within the window
Document research about viz queries.
v2: Remove viz status unions and move comments to register definitions.
Add contributors to TODOs.
v3: Comment out unused variables.
Add TODO for correctly dropping draw calls with memexport.
Register comment formatting.
Shorten names to 16.
Rename Win32 to Windowing.
Shorten GraphicsSystem thread names due to 16 length limit of pthread.
Without this change, both show up as GraphicsSystem.
Remove redundant "Worker" and "Thread" from names.
Remove redundant thread handle from thread name.
C++17ification!
- Filesystem interaction now uses std::filesystem::path.
- Usage of const char*, std::string have been changed to
std::string_view where appropriate.
- Usage of printf-style functions changed to use fmt.
- Convert http to https, provide archive link when possible.
- Made CPU-JIT.png more readable on dark themes;
Added a white background so there isn't black text on a black
background.
