11:06 <narmstrong> tomeu: we should have the public i/f next week, I’ll try to write a patch enabling it for our lab. Silly question, where is stored the lab token ?

14:47 <fashionableM> with midgard there is a sharp issue, the vliw vectors are only 4elements wide, reading behind the lines is not entirely certain, midgard is really weak gpu, depends whether the FGMT CORE scheduler is clocked or async. It has 64 queue entries in total though.

14:48 <fashionableM> https://community.arm.com/developer/tools-software/graphics/b/blog/posts/arm-mali-compute-architecture-fundamentals there they say it is clocked, but it may not be true

15:33 <fashionableM> anyways luckily it was said Each A-pipe can process:

15:33 <fashionableM> 17 FP32 operations per clock.

15:38 <fashionableM> so one details is missing only, other things are understandble, is the CORE arbiter in case of in queue issue clock sync or not!

15:47 <fashionableM> only material i found was it can do msaax8 somehow on 8 core version

16:52 <fashionableM> ok ok, got the internals, but what i lack is a sample asm code for the shading!

17:55 <endrift> would the Pine H64 be an ok device for starting on Panfrost?

17:55 <endrift> It's got a midgard GPU

17:55 <endrift> iirc

17:56 <HdkR> That's midgard 3rd gen so it should work

17:57 <HdkR> Might need to check kernel status on it

17:59 <HdkR> Oh, it supports mainline apparently

18:00 <endrift> then I may pick one up

18:14 <HdkR> Nice to have a cheap board available
