The GPU can fill out many of the fields in `IndirectParametersMetadata` using information it already has: * `early_instance_count` and `late_instance_count` are always initialized to zero. * `mesh_index` is already present in the work item buffer as the `input_index` of the first work item in each batch. This patch moves these fields to a separate buffer, the *GPU indirect parameters metadata* buffer. That way, it avoids having to write them on CPU during `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase`. This effectively reduces the number of bits that that function must write per mesh from 160 to 64 (in addition to the 64 bits per mesh *instance*). Additionally, this PR refactors `UntypedPhaseIndirectParametersBuffers` to add another layer, `MeshClassIndirectParametersBuffers`, which allows abstracting over the buffers corresponding indexed and non-indexed meshes. This patch doesn't make much use of this abstraction, but forthcoming patches will, and it's overall a cleaner approach. This didn't seem to have much of an effect by itself on `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` time, but subsequent PRs dependent on this PR yield roughly a 2× speedup. |
