autofill
README_DEMOS CONTENTS:
A simple fill-rate performance demo. Automatically measures
fill-rate for different sizes and aspect ratios of triangles.
Prints data which can be displayed using "gnuplot." See the
README file in application directory for more information.
README CONTENTS:
This program prints data concerning the fill rate performance
for triangles of different areas and aspect ratios. This data
can easily be plotted as a 3-D graph using gnuplot (see plot.gnu).
The program works by increasing the number of triangles until
a frame time is exceeded and then backing off slightly.
At this point, the fill rate is recorded and the next type
of triangle is drawn. The triangles are drawn at random
locations, but within the 320x240 screen so that clipped
triangles are not a factor.
To define the extent of the graph, define the constants (in fill.h):
ASPECT_HI
ASPECT_LO
ASPECT_STEP
AREA_HI
AREA_LO
AREA_STEP
Note that only the RDP performance is measured. There is a certain
amount of DRAM bandwith that is dedicated to loading the display
list into the input FIFO of the RDP. To get the most accurate
answers, you should run with video blanked (-b option), and don't
do frame buffer clears (-c option).
DESCRIPTION:
You should see an orange screen that is quickly covered
with yellow and black-speckeled triangles. A green timer
bar will appear in the lower-left corner of the screen.
The timer bar will reset 50 times before the demo ends.
Each pass will also be displayed on the computer monitor.
The monitor will display the area, aspect, ntri per frame,
time per tri (usec), and fill (pix/sec)
