Mechanical change removing abbreviation for consistency
|
|
Mostly mechanical change, though threads.c needed some jiggering to
make the logical cpu id available to the worker threads.
Now render_fragment() can easily addresss per-cpu data created by
create_context().
|

Back in the day, there was no {create,destroy}_context(), so passing
num_cpus to just prepare_frame made sense. Modules then would
implicitly initialize themselves on the first prepare_frame() call
using a static initialized variable.
Since then things have been decomposed a bit for more sophisticated
(and cleaner) modules. It can be necessary to allocate per-cpu data
structures and the natural place to do that is @ create_context(). So
this commit wires that up.
A later commit will probably have to plumb a "current cpu" identifier
into the render_fragment() function. Because a per-cpu data structure
isn't particularly useful if you can't easily address it from within
your execution context.

Just cast buf to (void *) for the pointer arithmetic, stride is in
units of bytes and no assumptions should be made about its value
such as divisability by 4.

Mechanical cosmetic change
|
|
Rather than laying out all fragments in a frame up-front in
ray_module_t.prepare_frame(), return a fragment generator
(rototiller_fragmenter_t) which produces the numbered fragment
as needed.
This removes complexity from the serially-executed
prepare_frame() and allows the individual fragments to be
computed in parallel by the different threads. It also
eliminates the need for a fragments array in the
rototiller_frame_t, indeed rototiller_frame_t is eliminated
altogether.

introduces create_context() and destroy_context() methods, and adds a
'void *context' first parameter to the module methods.
If a module doesn't supply create_context() then NULL is simply passed
around as the context, so trivial modules can continue to only implement
render_fragment().
A subsequent commit will update the modules to encapsulate their global
state in module-specific contexts.

Same general procedure as the previous commit made to the julia module.
|
|
Adding more context to the name in anticipation of adding a prepare_frame()
method to the module struct.
|
|
Make consistent with the source directory structure naming.
