Hello all,
I did run some benchmark on i.MX8MM GPU and I have some concerns on the
differences between mainline Linux/etnaviv/Mesa and the proprietary NXP/Vivante
solution.
The tests were executed comparing glmark2 results between a mainline kernel
(6.9.0-rc6) running Mesa 24.0.3 and NXP provided galcore driver
6.4.3.p4.398061 running with a 5.15 based NXP downstream kernel.
The GPU is running in overdrive mode (see [1]).
mainline infos (etnaviv):

we have 50-60% smaller number with etnaviv.
Offscreen test results:
glmark2 command:

| vivante | 402 | 624 | 520 | 26 | 177 | 557|
we have a 10~13% smaller number with etnaviv.
Do anybody did run similar benchmark in the past on NXP i.MX8MM? With what
results?
Is it expected such a difference in the glmark2 tests results?
Any idea on this big difference between running the test offscreen or not?

That's a problem. This will prevent TS from being used, which has a
large performance impact. But it shouldn't be necessary to disable it
on the i.MX8MM GPU, as all memory accesses aside from the initial MMU
commandstream go through MMU translation, so the issue with MC1.0 will
not be hit. Can you try patching out the check in the kernel and see if
it helps?
I'll also send a proper patch for this.

Lucas

I patched the kernel and enabled TS. The performance improved slightly,
but it still seems lower than the NXP driver. Here are some of the
results:
In screen (weston + DSI) test results:
glmark2 command:
glmark2-es2-wayland -b shading:duration=5.0 -b refract -b build -b texture -b shadow -b bump -s 640x480 2>&1
| | glmark2 tests |
| sw ver |shading|build|texture|refract|shadow|bump|
|-----------------|-------|-----|-------|-------|------|----|
| etnaviv (no TS) | 263 | 334 | 291 | 22 | 63 | 328|
| etnaviv | 340 | 549 | 460 | 18 | 84 | 560|
| vivante | 544 | 956 | 790 | 26 | 225 | 894|
Enabling TS, etnaviv scores improved by around 30-60% compared to
when it is disabled. However, it still remains approximately 40% lower
than galcore.
Offscreen test results:
glmark2 command:
glmark2-es2-wayland --off-screen -b shading:duration=5.0 -b refract -b build -b texture -b shadow -b bump -s 640x480 2>&1
| | glmark2 tests |
| sw ver |shading|build|texture|refract|shadow|bump|
|-----------------|-------|-----|-------|-------|------|----|
| etnaviv (no TS) | 348 | 541 | 466 | 24 | 81 | 498|
| etnaviv | 434 | 901 | 832 | 19 | 106 | 871|
| vivante | 544 | 956 | 790 | 26 | 225 | 894|
With TS enabled, offscreen scores improved considerably in some
individual benchmarks.

João Paulo

Ralized that the last line (vivante) of the above table is wrong for offscreen
results with TS enabled. Correcting it:
glmark2-es2-wayland --off-screen -b shading:duration=5.0 -b refract -b build -b texture -b shadow -b bump -s 640x480 2>&1
| | glmark2 tests |
| sw ver |shading|build|texture |refract|shadow|bump |
|----------------------|-------|-----|----------|-------|------|-----|
| etnaviv (no TS) | 348 | 541 | 466 | 24 | 81 | 498 |
| etnaviv | 434 | 901 | 832 | 19 | 106 | 871 |
| vivante | 402 | 624 | 520 | 26 | 177 | 557 |
With TS enabled, etnaviv offscreen scores seems to be overall better
than galcore.
Thanks!

João Paulo
