Hi list,
Is there any way in current Gem to use asynchronous readback of pixel
buffer objects to speed up recording (or other GPU<->CPU transfer)?
In one of my projects in plain C/OpenGL I used this technique successfully:
1) naive (blocking) glReadPixels direct to CPU ram and piped via
stdout to ppmtoy4m|y4mscaler|mpeg2enc
-> about 5fps
2) async glReadPixels to pixel buffer object mapped into the CPU
with one frame latency and piped via stdout to same encoder
-> about 20fps
3) async glReadPixels to PBO to CPU piped via stdout to /dev/null
-> about 25fps
(laptop with 4GB ram, intel core2 dual core cpu, nvidia g105m gpu,
tested with 32bit gnu/linux/ubuntu/karmic generic-pae kernel)
Thanks for any tips,
Claude
