Description

Lightning talks get schedule as time permits throughout the assigned time block. Make sure you've uploaded your slides before the slot starts - laptop switching only for demos. Please be ready!

12. 01 (Wednesday): Why does my piglit run take two days?

Jason Ekstrand (Intel)

In this lightening talk, Jason will talk about some of the improvements he's made recently to NIR and the intel back-end compiler to reduce compile times when using software emulated fp64.

29. 02 (Wednesday): XWayland multi DPI scaling

Roman Gilg

I want to give a quick overview of my proposed solution for XWayland multi DPI scaling [1].

This is also meant as a query on what other solutions there might be currently in development by other people or even already implemented.

53. 006 (Friday): IGT GPU Tools Update

Mr Arkadiusz Hiler

Short update on IGT - what has changed, where are we currently and what is cooking up.

IGT GPU Tools is a collection of tools and tests aiding development of DRM drivers. It's widely used by Intel in a public CI system, has targeted test for v3d, panfrost, amdgpu, etc., and helped to test-drive development of VKMS.

I am one of the maintainers.

69. 03 (Wednesday): Update on OpenChrome Project

Kevin Brace (Brace Computer Laboratory)

I will discuss the latest development in OpenChrome Project, including the progress being made on OpenChrome DRM.

70. 007 (Friday): Reviving vintage (underserved) graphics hardware on X Server

Kevin Brace (Brace Computer Laboratory)

I will discuss my effort to maintain, bug fix, and further develop vintage (underserved) graphics hardware device drivers. I will go over the accomplishments in this area so far, future plans, and challenges of working with older generation hardware in today's world.

73. 008 (Friday): Panfrost status update

Alyssa Rosenzweig (Panfrost / Collabora), Tomeu Vizoso (Collabora)

This lightning talk will provide a status update on the open-source graphics stack for Mali Midgard GPUs, including a demo of new features developed since XDC2018.

75. 009 (Friday): gitlab CI for Mesa

Eric Anholt (Google)

I'd like to give a lightning talk about the Mesa gitlab CI system I've been building for freedreno and the swrast drivers, and how other driver teams could extend it to keep master always green for them, too.

78. 0092 (Friday): SwiftShader - a Vulkan Reference Implementation

Nicolas Capens (Google)

SwiftShader is a CPU-based implementation of the Vulkan graphics API. It enables consistent testing of Vulkan applications without a dependency on specific hardware, or provides fallback support for running applications on systems without a Vulkan-capable GPU or driver.

71. 04 (Wednesday): Moving the Linux Desktop to another Reality

Christoph Haag (Collabora)

AR and VR did not only introduce a new class of output devices, but with tracked controllers and hands also the requirement for a new set of user interactions. This talk investigates solutions in existing implementations and points out how the classical UX model with keyboard and mouse translates to these new devices. The technical aspect of these requirements will also be highlighted. The...

76. 0091 (Friday): LunarG Mesa Regression Testing

Ms Karen Ghavam (LunarG, Inc)

Quick demo of the Mesa regression testing being done by LunarG on Mesa releases.

83. 0094 (Friday): xserver maintenance plans

Adam Jackson (Red Hat, Inc.)

Hey, the X server still exists. Right now nobody is planning any releases, but things still get merged and should get released. This talk will present a strawman proposal for automated major releases and policy for stable releases.

82. 0093 (Friday): RAPID: Realtime Approximate Ink Display

Jason Gerecke (Wacom)

A quick introduction to a compositor-driven approach to input latency reduction. Discuss the idea of introducing an "inking" protocol that uses compositor tricks to cover over application and network latency.
