  • Gen Vulkan API
    Faculty of Science and Technology Department of Computer Science A closer look at problems related to the next- gen Vulkan API — Håvard Mathisen INF-3981 Master’s Thesis in Computer Science June 2017 Abstract Vulkan is a significantly lower-level graphics API than OpenGL and require more effort from application developers to do memory management, synchronization, and other low-level tasks that are spe- cific to this API. The API is closer to the hardware and offer features that is not exposed in older APIs. For this thesis we will extend an existing game engine with a Vulkan back-end. This allows us to eval- uate the API and compare with OpenGL. We find ways to efficiently solve some challenges encountered when using Vulkan. i Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Goals . .2 2 Background 3 2.1 GPU Architecture . .3 2.2 GPU Drivers . .3 2.3 Graphics APIs . .5 2.3.1 What is Vulkan . .6 2.3.2 Why Vulkan . .7 3 Vulkan Overview 8 3.1 Vulkan Architecture . .8 3.2 Vulkan Execution Model . .8 3.3 Vulkan Tools . .9 4 Vulkan Objects 10 4.1 Instances, Physical Devices, Devices . 10 4.1.1 Lost Device . 12 4.2 Command buffers . 12 4.3 Queues . 13 4.4 Memory Management . 13 4.4.1 Memory Heaps . 13 4.4.2 Memory Types . 14 4.4.3 Host visible memory . 14 4.4.4 Memory Alignment, Aliasing and Allocation Limitations 15 4.5 Synchronization . 15 4.5.1 Execution dependencies . 16 4.5.2 Memory dependencies . 16 4.5.3 Image Layout Transitions .

  • Finally There Are Output Variables, Defining Data Being Passed Onto the Next Stages
    Projekt Resumé I 2016 udgav The Khronos Group Vulkan APIen, med det formål at øge hastigheden på grafikapplikationer, der er CPU-begrænsede. En grafikapplikation er CPU-begrænset, som er når GPUen udfører instrukser hurtigere end CPUen kan sende dem til GPUen. I mod- sætning til tidligere grafik-APIer, så har Vulkan et lavere abstraktionsniveau, og ifølge vores tidligere forskning gør dette APIen svær at anvende. Vi præsenterer PapaGo APIen, der forsøger at øge Vulkans abstraktionsniveau, mens den anvender førnævnte API som sin backend. Vores mål er at skabe en API, hvis abstrak- tionsniveau ligner OpenGLs. Samtidig ønsker vi dog at bibeholde Vulkans statelessness, dens eksplicitte kontrol af GPU-ressourcer samt dens GPU command buffers. Sidstnævnte anvendes til at sende kommandoer til GPUen, og de er centrale i at øge hastigheden af CPU-kode, da de kan genbruges over flere frames og kan optages til i parallel. Vi evaluerer PapaGo’s brugbarhed, hvormed vi introducerer en ny opgavebaseret API- evalueringsmetode baseret på en forgrening af Discount Evaluation. Vores evaluering viser, at vores deltagere, der er mere vante til at programmere med OpenGL eller lignende, hurtigt indpassede sig med vores API. Vi oplevede også at vores deltagere var hurtige til at udføre opgaverne givet til dem. Et performance benchmark blev også udført på PapaGo ved brug af en testapplika- tion. Testapplikationen blev kørt på to forskellige systemer, hvor den første indeholder en AMD Sapphire Radeon R9 280 GPU, imens den anden har en mere kraftfuld NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. I det CPU-begrænsede tilfælde af testen, blev hastigheden af ap- plikationen øget på begge systemer når kommandoer optages i parallel.

Chajdas Dominik Baumeister 5 years at AMD 3 years at AMD Developer Technology Architect Developer Technology Engineer TU MUNICH | CONCURRENCY MODEL IN EXPLICIT GRAPHICS APIS | JUNE 23RD, 2020 2 GOALS • Give a (slightly) more in-depth look for people interested in graphics programming • Prepare the mental model for explicit graphics APIs (DirectX12®, Vulkan®) TU MUNICH | CONCURRENCY MODEL IN EXPLICIT GRAPHICS APIS | JUNE 23RD, 2020 3 BASICS • Our program executes on the CPU • Shaders can run as part of a Draw() or Dispatch() execution on the GPU • CPU and GPU are physically separate entities (even in case of an integrated GPU, they‘re separate blocks on the chip) TU MUNICH | CONCURRENCY MODEL IN EXPLICIT GRAPHICS APIS | JUNE 23RD, 2020 4 NAIVE VIEW • What would happen if a Draw() would be executed immediately on the GPU (i.e., like calling a function) Draw 0 Draw 1 Draw 2 Draw 0 Draw 1 Draw 2 • Of course not what we would like to see TU MUNICH | CONCURRENCY MODEL IN EXPLICIT GRAPHICS APIS | JUNE 23RD, 2020 5 NAIVE VIEW • In addition, „immediately“ is actually „quite some time later“ in practice as the commands have to be sent via a message across the bus Draw 0 Draw 1 Draw 0 Draw 1 TU MUNICH | CONCURRENCY MODEL IN EXPLICIT GRAPHICS APIS | JUNE 23RD, 2020 6 COMMAND RECORDING • Instead: Keep most of the commands somewhere in memory • Accumulate a lot of them (ideally enough to keep the GPU busy for a while) • Then „Submit“ them
