This is a bit of an odd result as I was expecting to\nshave a particular % off of each frame in the order of 20% or so. My best\nguess is that particular paths we are optimising here are around texture\ngeneration and these are \"fixed costs\" on the CPU side.\n\nOne very welcome outcome of this series is genuine zero-copy on dma-buf\npaths we can support it on i.e. on paths where the CSI2 and GPU strides\nagree.\n\nThe numbers cited in my example are for non dma-buf handle upload and\ndma-buf handle render-to-texture on the output so, in fact I'd expect to\nsee a much larger improvement on systems where dma-buf handle is used on\nboth paths.\n\nAs it is on my test reference systems I have a 50% improvement per frame\nfor one system, a 20% improvement on another system or we could view it as\na fixed 4.5 millisecond improvement on both.\n\nI implemented the cache around V4L2BufferCache as per Barnabas' suggestion,\nincluding a fixed cache size.\n\n\nBryan O'Donoghue (6):\n libcamera: software_isp: debayer_egl: Pass eglImage as parameter to\n setShaderVariables\n libcamera: egl: Add new helper attachTextureToFBO\n libcamera: egl: Add createOutputTexture2D\n libcamera: egl: Add activateBindTexture\n libcamera: egl: Add updateTexture2D\n libcamera: software_isp: debayer_egl: Implement input/output frame\n caching mechanism\n\nRobert Mader (1):\n libcamera: base: shared_fd: Add hash template\n\n Documentation/Doxyfile-common.in | 2 +\n include/libcamera/base/shared_fd.h | 9 ++\n include/libcamera/internal/egl.h | 5 +\n src/libcamera/egl.cpp | 96 ++++++++++++++---\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.cpp | 116 +++++++++++++++------\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.h | 15 ++-\n 6 files changed, 194 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-)" }
