SG1OnArchLinux

Steps

Install sddm:

# pacman -S sddm xorg

After reboot, examine the kernel and the sg1 pci infos:

[root@archvfio ~]# lspci | grep -i vga
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Red Hat, Inc. Virtio GPU (rev 01)
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation SG1 [Server GPU SG-18M] (rev 01)

Linux archvfio 5.19.1-arch2-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 11 Aug 2022 16:06:13 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Add virtio gpu into blacklist:

# vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
   # blacklist virtio_gpu

Didn’t take effects, change the graphical to qxl and added blacklist qxl:

Take effects:

[root@archvfio ~]# lsmod | grep qxl
[root@archvfio ~]# ls /dev/dri/
by-path  card0	renderD128

Examine the sg1 connected info:

for p in /sys/class/drm/*/status; do con=${p%/status}; echo -n "${con#*/card?-}: "; cat $p; done
DP-1: disconnected
DP-2: disconnected
DP-3: disconnected

3. 桌面场景测试

3.1 裸机对比(WX5100)

结论:

1. i5/i7平台上，WX5100表现基本一致。
2. 因WX5100算力比较一案，i5-4代没有成为测试中的瓶颈位。

3.2 裸机对比(5700xt)

结论:

1. 5700xt在i7平台上运行远比i5平台上流畅，4代i5平台无法发挥5700xt的算力特性，具体表现为：glmark2跑分差距较大，Unigine valley帧率相差较大(1080场景下掉了约70帧)，4K下表现一致。
2. 显卡选型时需充分考虑CPU/内存等平台算力特性。

3.3 Virgl On i5-4460(WX5100)

结论:

1. glmark2: Virgl跑分约为裸机的31.3%。
2. Unigine场景跑分: Virgl性能并未出现明显折损，因为WX5100本身算力一般, CPU足够支撑virgl转码开销。

3.4 Virgl On i7-9700K(WX5100)

结论:

1. glmark2: Virgl 约为裸机跑分的44.2%。
2. Unigine场景跑分: Virgl性能并未出现明显折损，因为WX5100本身算力一般, CPU足够支撑virgl转码开销。
3. 提升平台算力(CPU,内存等)有助于提升opengl转码效率(对比3.3场景下glmark2跑分).

3.5 Virgl On i5-4460(5700xt)

结论:

1. glmark2: Virgl约为裸机的21%。
2. Unigine Valley/Unigine Heaven: Virgl约为裸机跑分的55%~60%, 但在4K场景下，Virgl为裸机的87%。

3.6 Virgl On i7-9700K(5700xt)

结论:

1. glmark2: Virgl约为裸机的19%。
2. Unigine Valley/Unigine Heaven: Virgl约为裸机跑分的55%~60%, 但在4K场景下，Virgl为裸机的83%。

4. Android 场景

结论:

1. 鲁大师跑分极限: 约为60+万分，跑分时支持的最大分辨率为1080p(待确认)?
2. scrcpy开启与否会影响跑分结果: 尤其在低端CPU上跑分下降尤为明显。
3. 当GPU算力不至于成为瓶颈的场景下，virgl在安卓下渲染的跑分可以达到裸机极限跑分的: 90% (i7-9700K + 5700xt)
4. WX5100可能成为跑分的性能瓶颈的场景下， virgl安卓渲染跑分在i7下可达到裸机极限的: 85% (i7-9700K + WX5100), i5下可达到裸机极限的: 77% (i5-4460 + WX5100)

3.2 BareMetal Comparison(5700xt)

Conclusion:

1. 5700xt runs smoother in i7 than on i5, perhaps i5 4th is too old for working together with 5700xt?(4 cores, bus width, etc).
2. i5’s CPU/Memory becomes a bottleneck in 5700xt testing.

3.3 Virgl On i5-4460(WX5100)

Conclusion:

1. glmark2: Virgl is 31.3% of the baremetal performance.
2. Unigine Valley/Unigine Heaven: Virgl performance almost the same as baremetal.

3.4 Virgl On i7-9700K(WX5100)

Conclusion:

1. glmark2: Virgl is 44.2% of the baremetal performance.
2. Unigine Valley/Unigine Heaven: Virgl performance almost the same as baremetal.
3. Comparing to 3.3: glmark2 will be improved using powerful CPU/Memory.

3.5 Virgl On i5-4460(5700xt)

Conclusion:

1. glmark2: Virgl is 21% of the baremetal performance.
2. Unigine Valley/Unigine Heaven: Virgl is around 55%~60% of the baremetal performance, while in 4k behavior, 87% of the baremetal performance.

3.6 Virgl On i7-9700K(5700xt)

Conclusion:

1. glmark2: Virgl is 19% of the baremetal performance.
2. Unigine Valley/Unigine Heaven: Virgl is around 55%~60% of the baremetal performance, while in 4k behavior, 83% of the baremetal performance.

4. Android Scenario

Conclusion:

1. Ludashi’s top score: around 61W, the maximum performance would be 1080p?
2. scrcpy will greatly impact the performance when using Virgl under low-end CPU.
3. virgl will be 85% for the best of bare metal on WX5100 on i7, 91% of bare metal on 5700xt on i7
