Intel Vulkan Driver Halves The Time Required For Startup
Intel's Lionel Landwerlin has seen his patch series under review for the past month land into Mesa 24.2. This reduces the time by about 50% that it takes for vkCreateDevice(), the call for creating a new device instance with the Vulkan API.
This significant speed-up to the Intel ANV start-up time comes from making more of the device initialization asynchronous. Plus other code optimizations during the initialization process leads to this ~50% reduction in start-up time.
Details for those interested via this merge request that is now in Mesa Git for the Mesa 24.2 release due out in August.
