# pipeline-db

time pipeline-db runs comparing AMDVLK, RADV/LLVM, RADV/ACO and AMDGPU-PRO
    use a ACO compiled with IR validation disabled (now disabled by default in release builds)

compiletime.txt

  RADV/ACO (vkpipeline-db run): 410.09 seconds, 405.73 seconds (avg 407.91 seconds)
 RADV/LLVM (vkpipeline-db run): 745.23 seconds, 748.83 seconds (avg 747.03 seconds)
AMDGPU-PRO (vkpipeline-db run): 217.39 seconds, 214.94 seconds (avg 216.16 seconds)
    AMDVLK (vkpipeline-db run): 623.23 seconds, 620.74 seconds (avg 621.99 seconds)

   RADV/ACO w/o ACO (vkpipeline-db run): 355.71 seconds
  RADV/ACO w/o LLVM (vkpipeline-db run): 227.72 seconds

approximate breakdown of ACO run:
   52.20 seconds spent in ACO (13% of the run)
   180.19 seconds spent in LLVM (44% of the run)
   175.52 seconds spent in NIR and other areas (43% of the run)

estimated performance of ACO compared to LLVM:
   391.32 seconds spent compiling FS/CS in LLVM run
   so ACO is 7.5x faster than than LLVM (52.20 seconds)

information from RADV_DEBUG=compiletime
   LLVM spends 384.72 CPU seconds and ACO spends 50.28 CPU seconds
   ACO's CPU time is 7.7x lower than LLVM

VS/GS/TCS/TES guesstimates:
   since 180.19 seconds in an ACO run is spent in LLVM
   and ACO is 7.5x faster for FS/CS
   if ACO's performance relative to LLVM is the same for other stages
   implementing VS/GS/TCS/TES might remove about ~156 seconds from ACO runs
   and bring down the time to about ~252 seconds
