vulkan video decoding: radv status

December 14, 2022

I've been working the past couple of weeks with an ffmpeg developer
(Lynne) doing Vulkan video decode bringup on radv.

The current status of this work is in a branch[1]. This work is all
against the current EXT decode beta extensions in the spec.

This contains an initial implementation of H264 and H265 decoding for
AMD GPUs from TONGA to NAVI2x. It passes the basic conformance tests
but fails some of the more complicated ones, but it has decoded the
streams we've been throwing at it using ffmpeg.

Building:

git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/airlied/mesa

git checkout radv-vulkan-video-prelim-decode

mkdir build

meson build -Dvulkan-beta=true -Dvulkan-drivers=amd -Dvideo-codecs=
h264dec,h265dec --prefix=<prefix>

cd build

ninja

ninja install

Running:

export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=<prefix>/share/vulkan/icd.d/
radeon_icd.x86_64.json

export RADV_VIDEO_DECODE=1

vulkaninfo

This should show support for VK_KHR_video_queue,
VK_KHR_video_decode_queue, VK_EXT_video_decode_h264 and
VK_EXT_video_decode_h265.

    This is not related to whatever the AMD AMF library is using,
    right? Though I think AMF depends on AMDVLK...

        No AMF is some proprietary AMD stuff. I've no idea what AMD's
        plans for vulkan video are, this is just radv.

optimizing llvmpipe vertex/fragment processing.

February 16, 2022
Around 2 years ago while I was working on tessellation support for
llvmpipe, and running the heaven benchmark on my Ryzen, I noticed
that heaven despite running slowly wasn't saturating all the cores. I
dug in a bit, and found that llvmpipe despite threading
rasterization, fragment shading and blending stages, never did
anything else while those were happening. I dug into the code as I
clearly remembered seeing a concept of a "scene" where all the
primitives were binned into and then dispatched. It turned out the
"scene" was always executed synchronously. At the time I wrote
support to allow multiple scenes to exist, so while one scene was
executing the vertex shading and binning for the next scene could
execute, and it would be queued up. For heaven at the time I saw some
places where it would build 36 scenes. However heaven was still 1fps
with tess, and regressions in other areas were rampant, and I mostly
left them in a branch. The reasons so many things were

video decode: crossing the streams

November 23, 2021
I was interested in how much work a vaapi on top of vulkan video
proof of concept would be. My main reason for being interested is
actually video encoding, there is no good vulkan video encoding demo
yet, and I'm not experienced enough in the area to write one, but I
can hack stuff. I think it is probably easier to hack a vaapi encode
to vulkan video encode than write a demo app myself. With that in
mind I decided to see what decode would look like first. I talked to
Mike B (most famous zink author) before he left for holidays, then I
ignored everything he told me and wrote a super hack. This morning I
convinced zink vaapi on top anv with iris GL doing the presents in
mpv to show me some useful frames of video. However zink vaapi on anv
with zink GL is failing miserably (well green jellyfish). I'm not
sure how much more I'll push on the decode side at this stage, I
really wanted it to validate the driver side code, and I've found a
few bugs in there already. The WIP hac
