Workload descriptor format
==========================
ctx.engine.duration_us.dependency.wait,...
<uint>.<str>.<uint>[-<uint>].<int <= 0>[/<int <= 0>][...].<0|1>,...
d|p|s|t|q.<uiny>,...
For duration a range can be given from which a random value will be picked
before every submit. Since this and seqno management requires CPU access to
objects, care needs to be taken in order to ensure the submit queue is deep
enough these operations do not affect the execution speed unless that is
desired.
Additional workload steps are also supported:
'd' - Adds a delay (in microseconds).
'p' - Adds a delay relative to the start of previous loop so that the each loop
starts execution with a given period.
's' - Synchronises the pipeline to a batch relative to the step.
't' - Throttle every n batches
'q' - Throttle to n max queue depth
Engine ids: RCS, BCS, VCS, VCS1, VCS2, VECS
Example (leading spaces must not be present in the actual file):
----------------------------------------------------------------
1.VCS1.3000.0.1
1.RCS.500-1000.-1.0
1.RCS.3700.0.0
1.RCS.1000.-2.0
1.VCS2.2300.-2.0
1.RCS.4700.-1.0
1.VCS2.600.-1.1
p.16000
The above workload described in human language works like this:
1. A batch is sent to the VCS1 engine which will be executing for 3ms on the
GPU and userspace will wait until it is finished before proceeding.
2-4. Now three batches are sent to RCS with durations of 0.5-1.5ms (random
duration range), 3.7ms and 1ms respectively. The first batch has a data
dependency on the preceding VCS1 batch, and the last of the group depends
on the first from the group.
5. Now a 2.3ms batch is sent to VCS2, with a data dependency on the 3.7ms
RCS batch.
6. This is followed by a 4.7ms RCS batch with a data dependency on the 2.3ms
VCS2 batch.
7. Then a 0.6ms VCS2 batch is sent depending on the previous RCS one. In the
same step the tool is told to wait for the batch completes before
proceeding.
8. Finally the tool is told to wait long enough to ensure the next iteration
starts 16ms after the previous one has started.
When workload descriptors are provided on the command line, commas must be used
instead of new lines.
Multiple dependencies can be given separated by forward slashes.
