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

    Hi mkjeong,

    Double buffering is enabled in drivers/media/video/samsung/tvout/s5p_tvout_fb.c, in the function s5p_tvout_fb_init_fbinfo. Make sure the line "fix->ypanstep" is set to 1 and not 0. Also it is just past 6pm here so you might not receive any further reply until tomorrow morning UK time.

    Also, I have private messaged you, in case you didn't spot it. If you could reply to that then I can escalate this issue.

    Thanks
    Chris

    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.
