In OpenSubdiv 2.x, we encapsulated subdivision tables into compute context in osd layer since those tables are order-dependent and have to be applied in a certain manner. In 3.0, we adopted stencil table based refinement. It's more simple and such an encapsulation is no longer needed. Also 2.0 API has several ownership issues of GPU kernel caching, and forces unnecessary instantiation of controllers even though the cpu kernels typically don't need instances unlike GPU ones. This change completely revisit osd client facing APIs. All contexts and controllers were replaced with device-specific tables and evaluators. While we can still use consistent API across various device backends, unnecessary complexities have been removed. For example, cpu evaluator is just a set of static functions and also there's no need to replicate FarStencilTables to ComputeContext. Also the new API delegates the ownership of compiled GPU kernels to clients, for the better management of resources especially in multiple GPU environment. In addition to integrating ComputeController and EvalStencilController into a single function Evaluator::EvalStencils(), EvalLimit API is also added into Evaluator. This is working but still in progress, and we'll make a followup change for the complete implementation. -some naming convention changes: GLSLTransformFeedback to GLXFBEvaluator GLSLCompute to GLComputeEvaluator -move LimitLocation struct into examples/glEvalLimit. We're still discussing patch evaluation interface. Basically we'd like to tease all ptex-specific parametrization out of far/osd layer. TODO: -implments EvalPatches() in the right way -derivative evaluation API is still interim. -VertexBufferDescriptor needs a better API to advance its location -synchronization mechanism is not ideal (too global). -OsdMesh class is hacky. need to fix it. |
