Resources and derived objects
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Resources represent objects that hold data: textures and buffers.
|
|
|
|
They are mostly modelled after the resources in Direct3D 10/11, but with a
|
|
different transfer/update mechanism, and more features for OpenGL support.
|
|
|
|
Resources can be used in several ways, and it is required to specify all planned uses through an appropriate set of bind flags.
|

Transfers
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Transfers are the mechanism used to access resources with the CPU.
|
|
|
|
OpenGL: OpenGL supports mapping buffers and has inline transfer functions for both buffers and textures
|
|
|
|
D3D11: D3D11 lacks transfers, but has special resource types that are mappable to the CPU address space
|
|
|
|
TODO: write much more on transfers
|
|
|
|
Resource targets
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Resource targets determine the type of a resource.
|
|
|
|
Note that drivers may not actually have the restrictions listed regarding
|
|
coordinate normalization and wrap modes, and in fact efficient OpenCL
|
|
support will probably require drivers that don't have any of them, which
|
|
will probably be advertised with an appropriate cap.
|
|
|
|
TODO: document all targets. Note that both 3D and cube have restrictions
|
|
that depend on the hardware generation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PIPE_BUFFER
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Buffer resource: can be used as a vertex, index, constant buffer
|
|
(appropriate bind flags must be requested).
|
|
|
|
Buffers do not really have a format, it's just bytes, but they are required
|
|
to have their type set to a R8 format (without a specific "just byte" format,
|
|
R8_UINT would probably make the most sense, but for historic reasons R8_UNORM
|
|
is ok too). (This is just to make some shared buffer/texture code easier so
|
|
format size can be queried.)
|
|
width0 serves as size, most other resource properties don't apply but must be
|
|
set appropriately (depth0/height0/array_size must be 1, last_level 0).
|
|
|
|
They can be bound to stream output if supported.
|
|
TODO: what about the restrictions lifted by the several later GL transform feedback extensions? How does one advertise that in Gallium?
|
|
|
|
They can be also be bound to a shader stage (for sampling) as usual by
|
|
creating an appropriate sampler view, if the driver supports PIPE_CAP_TEXTURE_BUFFER_OBJECTS.
|
|
This supports larger width than a 1d texture would
|
|
(TODO limit currently unspecified, minimum must be at least 65536).
|
|
Only the "direct fetch" sample opcodes are supported (TGSI_OPCODE_TXF,
|
|
TGSI_OPCODE_SAMPLE_I) so the sampler state (coord wrapping etc.)
|
|
is mostly ignored (with SAMPLE_I there's no sampler state at all).
|
|
|
|
They can be also be bound to the framebuffer (only as color render target, not
|
|
depth buffer, also there cannot be a depth buffer bound at the same time) as usual
|
|
by creating an appropriate view (this is not usable in OpenGL).
|
|
TODO there's no CAP bit currently for this, there's also unspecified size etc. limits
|
|
TODO: is there any chance of supporting GL pixel buffer object acceleration with this?
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Cube maps consist of 6 2D faces.
|
|
The 6 surfaces form an imaginary cube, and sampling happens by mapping an

input 3-vector to the point of the cube surface in that direction.
|
|
Cube map arrays are supported depending on PIPE_CAP_CUBE_MAP_ARRAY.
|
|
|
|
Sampling may be optionally seamless if a driver supports it (PIPE_CAP_SEAMLESS_CUBE_MAP),
|
|
resulting in filtering taking samples from multiple surfaces near to the edge.
|
|
|
|
- Width and height must be equal
|
|
- depth0 must be 1
|
|
- array_size must be a multiple of 6
