From 259b65e2e7938de4aab323033cfe2b33369ddb07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kenneth Graunke Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 05:38:28 -0800 Subject: i965/vs: Use the sampler for VS pull constant loading on Ivybridge. Substantially increases performance in GLBenchmark PRO: - 320x240 => 3.28x - 1920x1080 => 1.47x - 2560x1440 => 1.27x The LD message ignores the sampler unit index and SAMPLER_STATE pointer, instead relying on hard-wired default state. Thus, there's no need to worry about running out of sampler units or providing SAMPLER_STATE; this small patch should be all that's required. NOTE: This is a candidate for release branches. (It requires the preceding commit to compile.)
