ANGLE Restricted Traces

The files in this directory are traces of real applications. We host them internally because they may contain third party IP which we don't want to share publicly.

Setup

In order to compile and run with these, you must be granted access by Google, then authenticate with the cloud with your @google account:

gcloud auth login

download_from_google_storage --config
<enter 0 for the project ID>

Add the following to ANGLE's .gclient file:

    "custom_vars": {
      "checkout_angle_internal":"True"
    },

Then use gclient to pull down binary files from a cloud storage bucket.

gclient runhooks

To build the tests, add the following GN argument:

build_angle_trace_perf_tests = true

Build the angle_perftests:

autoninja -C out/Release angle_perftests

On desktop, run them like so:

out/Release/angle_perftests --gtest_filter=TracePerfTest*

On Android, run them like so:

out/Release/bin/run_angle_perftests --gtest_filter=TracePerfTest*

Updating traces

The current TRex traces were captured on Windows with an Nvidia driver.

Update START and END for each range.

Windows

Upload to the cloud

cd ~/chromium/src/third_party/angle/src/tests/perf_tests/restricted_traces
upload_to_google_storage.py --bucket chrome-angle-capture-binaries --archive trex_200_210
upload_to_google_storage.py --bucket chrome-angle-capture-binaries --archive trex_800_810
upload_to_google_storage.py --bucket chrome-angle-capture-binaries --archive trex_900_910
upload_to_google_storage.py --bucket chrome-angle-capture-binaries --archive trex_1300_1310

Adding new tests

Once you are able to capture a set of frames from an application using the steps above, you'll need to:

  • Add the tests to restricted_traces/angle_trace_perf_tests.gni
  • Update TracePerfTest.cpp to include the headers from the test, add it to the list of TracePerfTestID, and support it throughout the file using the namespace created in the trace.
  • Upload the traces to the cloud using the steps above.
  • Add the sha1 files created by the upload and submit them with your changes.
