Yes, the arale display is 60.72Hz as shown by 'mirout'. But that's also irrelevant here as I'm using MIR_CLIENT_FORCE_SWAP_INTERVAL=0 to collect peak numbers that are independent of the physical refresh rate.
More data points for the sake of comparison (also running under Unity8 on the same phones): MAKO: mir_demo_client_egltriangle (about the simplest and fastest client imaginable): [2016-04-04 10:46:20.018850] perf: : 282.60 FPS, render time 2.43ms, buffer lag 8.10ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-04 10:46:21.023429] perf: : 332.66 FPS, render time 2.07ms, buffer lag 6.98ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-04 10:46:22.024222] perf: : 297.70 FPS, render time 2.32ms, buffer lag 7.81ms (3 buffers) mir_demo_client_eglplasma (a pathologically heavy fragment shader): [2016-04-04 10:46:54.638567] perf: : 165.83 FPS, render time 4.78ms, buffer lag 13.32ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-04 10:46:55.644152] perf: : 161.19 FPS, render time 4.88ms, buffer lag 13.79ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-04 10:46:56.645983] perf: : 163.83 FPS, render time 4.84ms, buffer lag 13.49ms (3 buffers) ARALE: mir_demo_client_egltriangle (about the simplest and fastest client imaginable): [2016-04-04 10:25:12.224706] perf: : 245.26 FPS, render time 3.24ms, buffer lag 8.98ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-04 10:25:13.227914] perf: : 246.26 FPS, render time 3.21ms, buffer lag 8.97ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-04 10:25:14.231324] perf: : 244.26 FPS, render time 3.25ms, buffer lag 9.02ms (3 buffers) mir_demo_client_eglplasma (a pathologically heavy fragment shader): [2016-04-04 10:26:35.991810] perf: : 90.81 FPS, render time 10.16ms, buffer lag 22.90ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-04 10:26:37.001922] perf: : 91.08 FPS, render time 10.10ms, buffer lag 22.95ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-04 10:26:38.004405] perf: : 90.81 FPS, render time 10.19ms, buffer lag 22.84ms (3 buffers) So this shows it's possible to render super-smooth graphics in a Unity8 client on mako and arale. Only unity8-dash is letting us down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1564721 Title: Unity8-dash render time is too high, causing frame skipping Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Unity8-dash render time is too high, causing frame skipping On a 60Hz display you have 16.6ms per frame. So to keep things running smoothly your render time should be much lower than 16.6ms. $ restart unity8-dash MIR_CLIENT_PERF_REPORT=log MIR_CLIENT_FORCE_SWAP_INTERVAL=0 $ tail -f ~/.cache/upstart/unity8-dash.log MAKO: [2016-04-01 11:38:54.086901] perf: : 69.00 FPS, render time 13.96ms, buffer lag 29.76ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-01 11:38:55.103637] perf: : 73.81 FPS, render time 13.00ms, buffer lag 27.33ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-01 11:38:56.111953] perf: : 67.46 FPS, render time 14.19ms, buffer lag 30.60ms (3 buffers) ARALE: [2016-04-01 11:41:43.467067] perf: : 52.31 FPS, render time 18.54ms, buffer lag 61.60ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-01 11:41:44.491750] perf: : 53.71 FPS, render time 18.01ms, buffer lag 37.43ms (3 buffers) [2016-04-01 11:41:45.504621] perf: : 55.33 FPS, render time 17.53ms, buffer lag 37.03ms (3 buffers) Note(1): I have used MIR_CLIENT_FORCE_SWAP_INTERVAL=0 because it works around a problem with the Android platform's MIR_CLIENT_PERF_REPORT=log being rounded up to the next frame interval. It also has the nice benefit of showing peak frame rate possible on a device (e.g. 69 FPS on mako above). Note(2): Yes you can use the same benchmark on 'unity8' instead of 'unity8-dash' however the results will be inaccurate -- limited and rounded to whole frames due to bug 1369763. Note(3): This is all possibly related to bug 1494795.
