SimpleProject (Simple OpenGL ES 2.0 Example) expected performance?

Hi,

I am running the SimpleProject sample code posted here (http://www.malidevel...-code/index.php), on a Origen development board (samsung Exynos 4210) that has MALI400. It's a linux kernel version 2.6.35-7. The driver version is r3p0. Also using DS-5 CE Streamline.

The program simply draws a triangle repeatedly as fast as it can, but the performance is rather low.

I am seeing 5 FPS (roughtly 200ms per frame) when I capture Steramline data. Without the streamline, it is 189ms per frame. (time interval between the main loop iteration). Most of the time (over 99%) is spent in eglSwapBuffers() function.



The timeline view doesn't really tell me much. It has very low GPU Vertex/Fragment Activity, which perfectly makes sense. But why wouldn't it go faster? Is this the SimpleProject sample application? or would it be somewhere else in the stack?

Thanks,

Min

    How do I check I am using double buffering? I don't remember me configuring that knob during the bringup. Is it in the kernel? kernel driver? user level driver? or application?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi mkjeong,

    Thank you for your question. I have a few questions to ask in order to be able to help you:

    1. Are you using a linux or android filesystem?
    2. Are you outputting to HDMI or using an LCD display supplied with the board?
    3. Did you compile the kernel/userspace mali drivers yourself?

    Typically we see issues like this when using single buffering, and so in the mean time you could check that you are in-fact using double buffering.

    Thanks
    Chris
