|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The Zink driver is a Gallium driver that emits Vulkan API calls instead
|
|
of targeting a specific GPU architecture. This can be used to get full
|
|
desktop OpenGL support on devices that only support Vulkan.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The feature-level of Zink depends on two things; what's implemented in Zink,
|
|
as well as the features of the Vulkan driver.
|
|
|
|
OpenGL 2.1
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
OpenGL 2.1 is the minimum version Zink can support, and will always be
|
|
exposed, given Vulkan support. There's a few features that are required
|
|
for correct behavior, but not all of these are validated; instead you'll
|
|
see rendering-issues and likely validation error, or even crashes.
|
|
|
|
Here's a list of those requirements:
|
|
|
|
* Vulkan 1.0
|
|
* ``VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures``:
|
|
|
|
* ``logicOp``
|
|
* ``fillModeNonSolid``
|
|
* ``wideLines``
|
|
* ``largePoints``
|
|
* ``alphaToOne``
|
|
* ``shaderClipDistance``
|
|
|
|
* Device extensions:
|
|
|
|
* `VK_KHR_maintenance1`_
|
|
* `VK_EXT_custom_border_color`_

|
|
* ``smoothLines``
|
|
* ``stippledRectangularLines``
|
|
* ``stippledBresenhamLines``
|
|
* ``stippledSmoothLines``
|
|
|
|
In addition to this, `VK_KHR_external_memory`_ is required to support the
|
|
DRI code-path.
|
|
|
|
We also require either the `VK_EXT_scalar_block_layout`_ extension or
|
|
Vulkan 1.2, with the ``scalarBlockLayout`` feature.

Performance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
If you notice poor performance and high CPU usage while running an application,
|
|
changing the descriptor manager may improve performance:
|
|
|
|
.. envvar:: ZINK_DESCRIPTORS <mode> ("auto")
|
|
|
|
``auto``
|
|
Automatically detect best mode. This is the default.
|
|
``lazy``
|
|
Disable caching and attempt to use the least amount of CPU.
|
|
``nofallback``
|
|
Always use caching to try reducing GPU churn.
|
|
``notemplates``
|
|
The same as `auto`, but disables the use of `VK_KHR_descriptor_templates`.
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
There's a few tools that are useful for debugging Zink, like this environment
|
|
variable:
|
|
|
|
.. envvar:: ZINK_DEBUG <flags> ("")
|
|
|
|
``nir``
|
|
Print the NIR form of all shaders to stderr.
|
|
``spirv``
|
|
Write the binary SPIR-V form of all compiled shaders to a file in the
|
|
current directory, and print a message with the filename to stderr.
|
|
``tgsi``
|
|
Print the TGSI form of TGSI shaders to stderr.
|
|
``validation``
|
|
Dump Validation layer output.
|
|
|
|
Vulkan Validation Layers
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Another useful tool for debugging is the `Vulkan Validation Layers
|
|
<https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/blob/master/README.md>`_.
|
|
|
|
The validation layers effectively insert extra checking between Zink and the
|
|
Vulkan driver, pointing out incorrect usage of the Vulkan API. The layers can
|
|
be enabled by setting the environment variable :envvar:`VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS` to
|
|
"VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation". You can read more about the Validation Layers
|
|
in the link above.
