Speaker

Bas Nieuwenhuizen (RADV)

Description

This talk will be about the recent work to remove implicit synchronization from RADV. I will talk about how we used implicit sync previously including the hacks we had to make it not terrible, then I will discuss why I'm trying to kill it and finally I will talk about how we are moving over to explicit sync.

This will not cover user mode fences or getting more windowing systems to use explicit synchronization.
