openpowerbot[slack] <Benjamin Herrenschmidt> I was doing some back of the envelope math... Video will take a pretty good chunk of the system bandwidth....16:35
openpowerbot[slack] <Benjamin Herrenschmidt> Full HD at 60Hz is half a gigabyte/s afaik16:35
openpowerbot[slack] <Benjamin Herrenschmidt> I could be interesting as a stress test of a non temporal DMA path :-)16:36
openpowerbot[slack] <Benjamin Herrenschmidt> I suspect letting DMA requests "sneak" in between cache line refill loads (between the loads of a single line) would kill things forcing the ram to pull a new bank and back and we might be better off stalling them until refill is idle and having a bigger read ahead FIFO for the pixels... It would be interesting to measure both options. I could even make some of this tunables registers16:39
openpowerbot[slack] <Benjamin Herrenschmidt> Plan B is a dedicated pixel fetcher in the L2 wrapper, but I don't think it would help much more and might cause placement difficulties adding more logic & muxes close to the L216:40
