Drive architecture innovation

Moore thread has fully upgraded the Linux driver architecture, and the new architecture is more in line with the trend of modern graphics and computing convergence.

The technical team has in-depth researched GPU-driven optimization points in Linux environments and targeted upgrades to task scheduling systems, memory management systems, and hardware interaction systems to better adapt to the rapid development needs of GPU computing rendering tasks.

The upgraded driver architecture achieves several breakthroughs in the underlying function:

GPU task scheduling is done collaboratively by drivers and firmware, and drivers are responsible for managing task queues, context switching, and resource allocation. v3.0.0 version of the kernel-driven level optimization includes: 1) low-latency scheduling optimization, better scheduling algorithm; 2) high concurrency support, multi-core task concurrency; 3) high throughput optimization, batch task submission;

GPU memory management is an important driver's responsibility, and optimized memory allocation and mapping mechanisms can significantly improve performance. v3.0.0 version in memory management optimization includes: 1) faster memory allocation mechanism, memory pre-distribution and caching; 2) lower memory mapping overhead, zero copy memory optimization;

GPUs can encounter various anomalies when running complex graphics computing tasks, and drivers need to quickly detect and handle these abnormalities to avoid system crashes. v3.0.0 version of the optimization of exception handling includes: 1) more accurate exception reporting, enhanced hardware anomaly detection; 2) more reliable exception recovery mechanism, support task-level fault tolerance; 3) more flexible debugging methods, enhanced GPU debugging interface;

Overall drive performance improvement

DKMS support for further expansion

With DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) support, v3.0.0 extends the kernel version coverage to 4.9-6.8, enabling compatible with brands' mainstream domestic operating systems, simplifying deployment and maintenance.

Support for OpenGL 4.2

This upgrade will increase the OpenGL version to 4.2, focusing on optimizing the graphics performance of Blender and CAD software, significantly improving the rendering fluency in complex scenes, and better meeting the performance needs of professional design, scientific computing and other scenarios. Based on the cross-platform graphics API standard, Moore Thread will continue to push the OpenGL version iteration to meet the diverse needs of different users and complex scenarios.

Support for Wayland

Compared to the traditional X11 architecture, Wayland uses a more efficient communication model to improve GPU resource utilization by reducing unnecessary graphical data replication and conversion, especially for high-performance computing, real-time rendering and game development. At the same time, it further enhances compatibility with domestic operating systems and provides users with more complete graphics solutions.

Performance and efficiency improvements

Compared with the v2.7.0RC4 version, the v3.0.0 version has increased the average frame rate of the ferry software in the typical scenario of the ferry software by about 300%; the average frame rate of GFXbench has increased by more than 200%, and the average score of GLmark2 has increased by nearly 90%.
