02:52:07Unhelpfulboo... counting hardware multiplies (2 each for 16x32, 4 for the final 32x32->40, 3 for 32x32->32) says the new scaler is a loser on sh-1. the best i can do for sh-1 is use the old math, try to fold the round into the 32x32->40 asm, and make as many of the multiplies as possible 16x16->32 hw multiplies.

12:57:08Unhelpfulmcuelenaere: the scaler needs a quantity of buffer determined by the output width. the jpeg loader needs an additional amount that is not easy to determine. i had considered a flag for read_* that would cause them to return early, after determining the space needed, but there has not yet been anything that actually requires it.

13:07:17Unhelpfulmcuelenaere: if you can use such a solution, the way the album art loader does it is probably easiest (see buffering.c:load_image). it basically hands the image loader the entire available buffer, then completes the allocation when the loader returns the size used by the image.
13:08:02mcuelenaerehmm I can't hand over the complete available memory though
13:08:10*mcuelenaere looks at that file
13:09:14Unhelpfulin that case, implementing the early-return-with-needed-buffer might be ideal
13:09:58Unhelpfulbuffering.c can only do it by blocking further allocation until the loader returns :/

13:42:49Unhelpfulmcuelenaere: if you are using scaling, *or* JPEG, there will be a substantial excess buffer needed to load the image.
13:44:01Unhelpfulthe scaler, used if a BMP is not an exact fit, or if a JPEG is not exactly the requested size, or 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 of it, requires 12*output_width bytes (triple that on color targets)

13:46:33Unhelpfulthe JPEG loader requires sizeof(struct jpeg), which is a bit over 8KB on most targets, plus up to ((input_width + 15) & ~15) * 16 bytes of decode buffer.
13:47:12 Nick fxb__ is now known as fxb (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
13:47:55mcuelenaerecan this struct jpeg be declared static or do I need to alloc it for every jpeg image?
13:48:54Unhelpfulthe loader allocates it from the buffer at present. does your malloc have a realloc that could return the extra space? that might be the best way around this...
13:51:20 Join ender [0] (i=krneki@foo.eternallybored.org)
13:52:25mcuelenaerehmm for that I could perhaps do a real malloc(), copy only the image to another buffer which gets 'lua_malloc()'ed (<- this one gets garbage collected) and free() the first buffer
13:54:52Unhelpfulthe buflib doesn't have a buflib_resize_buf yet, but it could. it's not very helpful for things that already use malloc, though - the interface is much closer to core buf* than to malloc, you get a handle.

13:57:55Unhelpfulyou could avoid the copy if your malloc lib could return the last N bytes of an allocation to the buffer. it needn't be capable of a "real" realloc - i'd even considered having a buflib_shrink_buf.

20:59:50CIA-38New commit by 03alex (r21068): Fix manual building.
21:00
21:00:59AlexPHorscht: Try again now
21:01:22FlynDiceSo when I run a battery bench do I really need to let it run all the way down or can I get some useful info after a shorter period?
21:02:53HorschtAlexP, works fine now+
21:02:54kugelI'd recommend doing a full bench
21:02:56n1sFlynDice: what info is it that you want?
21:02:59AlexPIt would be very useful to have a build table for the manual to be able to more easily see when it is broken
21:03:05AlexPHorscht: cool
21:03:10n1sAlexP: very
21:03:23kugelparticularly on in-developement targets, the numbers reported by the plugin might not be accurate enough
21:03:49FlynDicejust looking to see how different frequencies/configurations use battery power
21:05:10FlynDicekugel: I figured that was going to be the answer but thought I'd ask in case there was a better way...
21:05:25kugelyou managed to get mp3 @90MHz? that sounds nice
21:06:22kugel160 or whatever it is currently is just way to much, no matter of the mmu/caching stuff
21:06:26FlynDicewell, upping PCLK seems to be the key, it lets it run unboosted for 80% of the time and lowers the average
21:07:34FlynDiceI'm trying to check on the power cost now thogh
21:07:41kugelI mean, the e200v1 does mp3 below 30MHz. That's with dual core, but even 60MHz would be better than what we do (and the v1 doesn't have any caches)
21:07:43n1sFlynDice: the best method for measuring power draw is using a current meter in series with the battery (or a power source)
21:07:58n1sthere's always uncertainty with battery benches
21:09:00n1skugel: the pp's have cache
21:09:06kugelthey have?
21:09:24kugelhow much?
21:09:46n1syes, i don't remember the details but they cache both code and data (unlike coldfires)
21:09:59FlynDicen1s: OK, thanks, I don't know that we really need to be that precise right now I'm looking for more of a ballpark figure so to speak
21:10:44n1sFlynDice: the current meter has the added benefit of giving a result much quicker than a battery bench

23:04:58archivatorFeature request (kinda): Isn't there *any* way we can get metadata in "View current playlist"? My iPod is full of these 4-letter filenames (courtesy of iTunes, of course) and thus that part of rockbox is quite unusable as is..
23:08:59Lloreangevaerts: Re FS #10239 (write caching), which targets might it get better than the OF on?
23:10:07 Quit {phoenix} (Remote closed the connection)
23:10:22Lloreanarchivator: Many tagging tools can rewrite all the tags rather quickly.
23:10:25gevaertsLlorean: on e200 it's now slightly faster than the OF, and on my ipod video, combined with FS #9708 (set to udma4) I get writes on windows at 12.1MB/s while the OF gets 9.8
23:10:33Lloreanarchivator: Er, all the filenames
23:10:59Lloreanarchivator: It could take quite a large amount of time for Rockbox to retrieve the Title tag for ever file in your playlist, especially if you don't have the database initialized.
23:11:16Lloreangevaerts: Impressive.
23:11:51gevaertsLlorean: part of the windows difference may be due to us not telling the OS about the caching, so it never tries to flush the cache
23:11:51HorschtI might give it a whirl tomorrow on my Ipod Video 80GB. I get ~12Mb with the OF

23:14:01gevaertsLlorean: on linear read and write tests (dd to /dev/sdb), we're still slower than the apple OF
23:14:02archivatorLlorean: I actually still use iTunes occasionally to manage the tracks it knows about.. In the case of initialized and loaded into RAM database, can't we query it to retrieve the metadata? Metadata retrieval doesn't have to work in all use cases but I'd imagine that one is fairly common ..
23:15:03gevaerts13.8 MB/s read and 12.5 MB/s write with FS #9708 and FS #10239 vs 14.3 MB/s read and 14.0 MB/s write with the OF
23:15:53Lloreanarchivator: It's still a lot of special-case code primarily for iTunes users.
23:16:28 Quit stoffel ("leaving")
23:16:28gevaertsThe main things that makes FS #10239 risky right now are (a) not much testing yet, and (b) it hides write errors, so if you have a bad disk writes will fail silently
23:17:05archivatorLlorean: While we are particularly hit by the lack of this feature, I figure is actually a reasonable user experience improvement..
23:17:39Lloreanarchivator: A human readable collection will already have human readable filenames.
23:17:53LloreanI'm not sure how it significantly benefits most people, just those with mangled filenames.

23:18:51Bagderarchivator: rockbox is also doing playlist highly effectively a lot by _not_ checking for meta data of the files
23:19:11Bagderhm, oddly put but you might understand anyway
23:20:37LloreanBagder: Isn't the playlist viewer using the plugin buffer?
23:20:55Bagderah it might, yes
23:20:57*gevaerts looks at the speeds reported in http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9708#comment29071 and concludes that we probably can't go much faster anyway
23:21:01LloreanBagder: Wouuld changes to it impact binsize? Or, more interestingly, would it be possible to have alternative "advanced" viewers somehow?
23:21:35Bagderiirc, there is a patch somewhere (or was at least) that did (parts of) what archivator suggests
23:22:34LloreanYeah, it went through a few iterations, I seem to recall hearing it was incredibly slow but I think someone fixed it to just use database.
23:24:31LloreanI don't really like the idea of coded solutions to manager-specific problems, but if there's a real reason it'd be particularly useful to users that might be different.
23:24:52LloreanI just don't really see a reason why one pass with a filename fixing tool isn't *generally* a solution with the exception of people who want to keep using iTunes.

23:27:07linuxstbLlorean: I see it as being a useful feature, considering the number of ipod video users we probably have, and that we are missing at least one major feature of the OF on that device, so interoperability with the OF is probably desirable for many users.
23:28:19Lloreanlinuxstb: I don't understand why interoperability is so desirable?
