2020-06-19gem_wsim: Rip out userspace balancingTvrtko Ursulin
Evaluation of userspace load balancing options was how this tool started but since we have settled on doing it in the kernel. Tomorrow we will want to update the tool for new engine interfaces and all this legacy code will just be a distraction. Rip out everything not related to explicit load balancing implemented via context engine maps and adjust the workloads to use it.

2017-04-25benchmarks/gem_wsim: Command submission workload simulatorTvrtko Ursulin
Tool which emits batch buffers to engines with configurable sequences, durations, contexts, dependencies and userspace waits. Unfinished but shows promise so sending out for early feedback. v2: * Load workload descriptors from files. (also -w) * Help text. * Calibration control if needed. (-t) * NORELOC | LUT to eb flags. * Added sample workload to wsim/workload1. v3: * Multiple parallel different workloads (-w -w ...). * Multi-context workloads. * Variable (random) batch length. * Load balancing (round robin and queue depth estimation). * Workloads delays and explicit sync steps. * Workload frequency (period) control. v4: * Fixed queue-depth estimation by creating separate batches per engine when qd load balancing is on. * Dropped separate -s cmd line option. It can turn itself on automatically when needed. * Keep a single status page and lie about the write hazard as suggested by Chris. * Use batch_start_offset for controlling the batch duration. (Chris) * Set status page object cache level. (Chris) * Moved workload description to a README. * Tidied example workloads. * Some other cleanups and refactorings. v5: * Master and background workloads (-W / -w). * Single batch per step is enough even when balancing. (Chris) * Use hars_petruska_f54_1_random IGT functions and see to zero at start. (Chris) * Use WC cache domain when WC mapping. (Chris) * Keep seqnos 64-bytes apart in the status page. (Chris) * Add workload throttling and queue-depth throttling commands. (Chris) v6: * Added two more workloads. * Merged RT balancer from Chris. v7: * Merged NO_RELOC patch from Chris. * Added missing RT balancer to help text. TODO list: * Fence support. * Batch buffer caching (re-use pool). * Better error handling. * Less 1980's workload parsing. * More workloads. * Threads? * ... ?
