6.1.1 Improved Performance of DMA operations 6.1.1.1 Functionality Description: The performance of large DMA drawing operations on Radeon graphics adapters has been improved by a factor of up to four or more (also see "Performance Throttles" section below). Images Affected: - [SYS$LDR]SYS$GHDRIVER.EXE - [SYSLIB]DECW$DRM_RADEON.EXE Page 10 6.1.2 Performance Throttles 6.1.2.1 Functionality Description: Two new system logicals are provided to enable the user to control the performance and resource usage of the Radeon card: o DECW$RADEON_FAST_DMA o DECW$SERVER_SMP_SAFE DECW$RADEON_FAST_DMA is a bit mask that governs the amount of data the Radeon card attempts to fetch at one time during a DMA transfer, and whether multiple reads can be combined into long bursts. DECW$RADEON_FAST_DMA can take on the following values: 0 => 16 bytes, no Read Combine; 1 => 32 bytes, no Read Combine; 2 => 64 bytes, no Read Combine; 3 => undefined; 4 => 16 bytes, Read Combine; 5 => 32 bytes, Read Combine; 6 => 64 bytes, Read Combine; DECW$RADEON_FAST_DMA is a multi-valued logical defined on a per-screen basis. DECW$RADEON_FAST_DMA is a multi-valued logical defined on a per-screen basis. DECW$SERVER_SMP_SAFE can be defined as 0 or 1. A value of 0 causes all graphics operations (both server and 3D client) to take place on the primary CPU in a multi-CPU system. These throttles should be defined in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM, for example: $ define/exec/system/nolog DECW$RADEON_FAST_DMA 6,6,6,6 $ define/exec/system/nolog DECW$SERVER_SMP_SAFE 1 These logicals can be used to help control the amount of system resources (CPU and bus utilization) consumed by a graphics workload in a complex environment. In addition, setting DECW$SERVER_SMP_SAFE to 0 and/or DECW$RADEON_FAST_DMA to 0, 1 or 2 has been observed to reduce the incidence of graphics card hangs on ES47, ES80, and GS1280 systems. The default value of DECW$RADEON_FAST_DMA is 6 for all screens on all platforms except ES47, ES80, and GS1280, where it is 2. Page 11 The default value of DECW$SERVER_SMP_SAFE is 1 on all platforms except ES47, ES80, and GS1280, where it is 0. Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]DECW$DRM_RADEON.EXE - [SYSLIB]DECW$DRM_PRIV.EXE 6.1.3 Improved Performance of Texture Copies 6.1.3.1 Functionality Description: The performance of glCopyTexImage2D has been significantly improved on Radeon adapters. Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]DECW$OPENGLSHR_RADEON.EXE - [SYSLIB]DECW$SVEXT_GLX_RADEON.EXE 6.1.4 Improved Performance of Text and other Bitmap Operations 6.1.4.1 Functionality Description: The performance of drawing operations involving text and other bitmap operations in DMA mode (Open3D license loaded, screen depth = 24) has been drastically improved. The improvement can be as much as a factor of 10 or 20, depending on the specific platform and graphics card/bus option (AGP, 33 MHz PCI, 66 MHz PCI). Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]DECW$SERVER_DDX_RADEON.EXE 6.1.5 Hardware-Accelerated Indirect 3D Rendering 6.1.5.1 Functionality Description: The same hardware-specific 3D drawing accelerations available in the client-side direct-rendering OpenGL library (DECW$OPENGLSHR_RADEON) and accessible via LOCAL transport are now available in the DECwindows server for use with network (DECnet, TCP/IP) transport (indirect rendering). Page 12 The performance of 3D applications utilizing hardware-accelerated indirect rendering falls between that of local, hardware-accelerated direct rendering and the software-only rendering that was formerly the only option for remote connections. Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]DECW$OPENGLSHR_RADEON.EXE - [SYSLIB]DECW$SVEXT_GLX_RADEON.EXE - [SYSLIB]DECW$SVEXT_GLX_SW.EXE - [SYSMGR]DECW$DEVICE_CONFIG_GH.COM 6.1.6 New Screen Resolution (1024 x 864) 6.1.6.1 Functionality Description: A new screen resolution, 1024 x 864, is now supported at depths of 8 and 24 bits and refresh rates of 60, 70, 75, and 85 Hz. Images Affected: - [SYS$LDR]SYS$GHDRIVER.EXE - [SYSLIB]DECW$SERVER_DDX_RADEON.EXE 6.1.7 Japanese USB Keyboard Support 6.1.7.1 Functionality Description: Support has been added for the LKQ50-AJ Japanese USB keyboard. Images Affected: - [SYS$LDR]SYS$IKUDRIVER.EXE 6.2 Problems addressed in this kit Page 13 6.2.1 Hangs, Crashes, and Machine Checks 6.2.1.1 Problem Description: Several problems that resulted in DECwindows server hangs or crashes, system hangs or crashes (including machine checks), or 3D application hangs or crashes have been fixed.

To expand this file to the installable PCSI file, run the file with a RUN file_name command. When the file is run you will see the following output: $ RUN VMS731_GRAPHICS-V0400.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE FTSV DCX auto-extractible compressed file for OpenVMS (AXP) FTSV V3.0 -- FTSV$DCX_AXP_AUTO_EXTRACT Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corp. 1993 Options: [output_file_specification] [input_file_specification] The decompressor needs to know the filename to use for the decompressed file. If you don't specify any, it will use the original name of the file before it was compressed, and create it in the current directory. If you specify a directory name, the file will be created in that directory. Decompress into (file specification): Page 44 If you want the file to be expanded into a different directory, enter the directory specification. DO NOT enter a new file name. The expanded file must retain the original name. If you want to expand the file via batch, the command file must contain an answer to the Decompress into "(file specification)" question, either a or an alternate directory specification 8.2 Installation Command Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software installation utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: PRODUCT INSTALL VMS731_GRAPHICS /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA [/SOURCE=location of Kit] The /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier is optional but highly recommended. Using this qualifier will allow easy removal of the kit from the system in the event of problems. The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that contains the kit. The /SOURCE qualifier is not needed if the PRODUCT INSTALL command is executed from the same directory as the kit location. Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt. 8.3 Scripting of Answers to Installation Questions During installation, this kit will ask and require user response to several questions. If you wish to automate the installation of this kit and avoid having to provide responses to these questions, you must create a DCL command procedure that includes the following logical name definitions and commands: o To avoid the BACKUP question, define the following: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE o To avoid the REBOOT question, define the following: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE o To save replaced files as *.*_OLD define the following logical name as YES.
