Change 3310176 on 2017/02/17 by Chris.Bunner
Merging CL 3233886: AMD HDR support (requires r.AMDSupportsHDRDisplayOutput=1 in ini).
Update to AGS 5.0.5.
Partial code tidy up.
Change 3310187 on 2017/02/17 by Chris.Bunner
Preserve constant expressions rather than always casting after translating a material attribute. Losing the notion of constant means we can't correctly detect used properties and falsely enable e.g. PDO. Happened because of the incorrect component masks in BreakMaterialNodes which then had to be downcast to the correct type which is done as an inline fragment rather than swizzle expression.
#jira UE-41594
Change 3310215 on 2017/02/17 by Chris.Bunner
Prevent SpeedTree node compiling for skeletal meshes (not supported as uses more UV sets than available).

Preparing TM_Shadermodels map for automation
Change 3328222 on 2017/03/01 by Chris.Bunner
Prevent decals from drawing in separate translucency pass. Whilst user control and material relevance were already removed, if the flag was checked before being disabled (by swapping to decal domain) this was still being read in the render loop, now explicitly ignores decals.

[Copy] Changing movable skylight properties no longer affects static draw lists
Change 3333693 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Added 'r.AOListMeshDistanceFields' which dumps out mesh distance fields sorted by memory size, useful for directing content optimizations
Change 3333705 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Mesh distance fields are now 8 bit fixed point by default, but can be changed back to 16 bit floating piont with a project setting.
* 8 bit uses half memory but introduces error for thin surfaces or large meshes.
Change 3333721 on 2017/03/06 by David.Hill
DecalProxy:
Copy float FadeScreenSize to FDeferredDecalProxy for use in the render thread. This avoids pointer chasing to the UDecalComponent (game thread component).
Change 3333772 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Scene motion blur data is only updated for the main renderer frames. Fixes scene captures and planar reflections breaking object motion blur.
Change 3333790 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Mesh distance field generation uses Embree, for a 2.5x speedup

Change 3333822 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Moved mesh distance field code into MeshDistanceFieldUtilities.cpp
* Moved FMeshUtilities to its own header so the 8k line MeshUtilites.cpp file can be further split up

Non-editor compile fix
Change 3333836 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Workaround for gobal distance field volume textures being bloated by 4x on PS4 due to the recommended tiling modes. They now use a 2d tiling mode which avoids the bloat, saving 96Mb.
Change 3333843 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Added OcclusionExponent to skylight component
* Useful for brightening up indoors without losing contact shadows as MinOcclusion does

Change 3333857 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Clear light attenuation for local lights with a quad covering their screen extents
* Clearing the entire light attenuation buffer costs .1ms on PS4. This optimization lowers the minimum cost of a shadow casting light from .15ms -> .03ms.
* Shadowed lights in Fortnite with 25 lights 3.7ms -> 1.42ms on PS4
Change 3333860 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Flush deferred deletes when reallocating distance field atlas to reduce peak memory
Change 3333861 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Disable all distance field features on Intel cards as HD 4000 hangs in the RHICreateTexture3D call to allocate the large atlas
Change 3333869 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Volumetric Fog using a volume texture mapped to the camera frustum
* Volumetric fog can be enabled on an Exponential Height Fog component with additional controls
* Lights have a VolumetricScatteringIntensity
* New cvars r.VolumetricFog, r.VolumetricFog.GridPixelSize, r.VolumetricFog.GridSizeZ, r.VolumetricFog.DepthDistributionScale
* Lighting features supported:
* Directional light with CSM and a light function
* Point / spot lights without shadows / light functions / IES profiles
* Skylight with occlusion from distance fields
* Analytical height fog covers the view range past where the volumetric fog ends
* Temporal reprojection is used on the volumetric fog scattering and extinction to achieve stability
* Translucency integrates properly into volumetric fog
* Height fog StartDistance is not supported by volumetric fog and should be set to 0.
Change 3333894 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Initialize GDummyVolumetricFogGlobalDataUniformBuffer outside of parallel rendering
Change 3333902 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright

[Copy] Fixed volumetric fog trying to render light functions for a point light
Change 3333908 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Volumetric materials
* Added new material domain Volume, which can output Scattering, Absorption and Emissive. All properties are in world space densities.
* Particle systems using the Volume domain are voxelized based on their ParticlePosition and ParticleRadius
* Volumetric fog integration is now energy conservative - scattering is integrated against transmission over the depth of each slice.
* Added bOverrideLightColorsWithFogInscatteringColors to exponential height fog, which can be enabled to make Volumetric Fog match Height fog more closely
Change 3334134 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy from Michael Trepka] Added Embree 2.14.0 and changed MeshUtilities to use it as this solves issues with Embree leaking TLS keys. UnrealLightmass is still using older Embree 2.7.0 until we can find time to properly test it with the new version. Also, invalidated distance field DDC to force it to rebuild with updated Embree.

* Forward lighting of local lights can be forced with 'r.VolumetricFog.InjectShadowedLightsSeparately 0'
* Shadowed lights come at a cost: 2.9ms for volumetric fog on 970 -> 4.2ms with shadowing

Duplicated from Fortnite CL 3243458:
D3D12 memory optimization - The d3d12 buddy suballocator is very wasteful for allocations above 4KB, but the vast majority of allocations are smaller . In the default buffer allocator this was causing 149MB of waste in 340MB of allocations. Moving the max allocation size threshold down to 4KB from 512KB saved 100MB of memory wastage memory.
On PC, buffers are 64KB aligned, so we need the threshold to be higher to avoid additional wastage.
Add PIX memory tracking instrumentation for buddy allocators so we can track the memory properly in PIX

Duplicated from Fortnite 3243496
memory optimisation: use NULL-terminated ansi strings instead of unicode FStrings for symbols, saving 118MB. Previously the strings were loaded from disk as ansi and then converted to FStrings (slowly), before finally being converted them back to ansi strings before being used. In addition to reducing memory overhead, this change reduces complexity and improves startup time.

Change 3252866 on 2017/01/10 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Fix Metal shader pipeline hash collisions caused by deferring MTLFunction construction until PrepareToDraw so that we may use Function-Constants to specialise the shader source without generating additional permutations. This is required to generate proper tessellation shaders which are specialised against the index-buffer usage & type (none, uint16, uint32). While we're here amend the hash functions to make better use of the existing hash functions to improve the distribution and hopefully reduce the possibility of collisions in future.

DR - PSO stats
Change 3255958 on 2017/01/12 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Reimplement RQT_AbsoluteTime for Metal - pretty sure I did this before, but somehow it got lost. When a RQT_AbsoluteTime is inserted into the command-stream, insert a command-buffer completion handler to record the time of completion & submit the command-buffer immediately. This breaks command-buffers so is noticeably slower and if inserted in a pass that can't be restarted will fail but is currently the only option available. This is sufficient to support the GPUBenchmark used by Scalability. To make this more efficient I've refactored the FMetalCommandBufferFence implementation so that we use a single shared-ptr object containing the command-buffer and a dispatch semaphore, rather than allocating one for each query. The semaphore allows for timed-waits where previously we'd block until completion, unlike the other APIs that report failure after a fixed interval (2s for RQT_AbsoluteTime, otherwise 0.5s). Sadly not all drivers support this abuse of the Metal API, so replace the GL-based workaround for not having time queries with one that just guesses based on RHI device details. Radars will be filed.

DFAO optimizations
* Changed the culling algorithm to produce a list of intersecting screen tiles for each object, instead of the other way around. Each tile / object intersection gets its own cone tracing thread group so wavefronts are much smaller and scheduled better. 3.63ms -> 3.48ms (.15ms)
* Replace slow instructions in inner loop with fast approximations (exp2 -> sqr + 1, rcpFast, lengthFast) 3.25ms -> 3.09ms (.16ms)
* Moved transform from world to local space out of the inner loop (sample position constructed from local space position + direction) 3.09ms -> 3.04ms
* Compute shader for ClearUAV 3.04ms -> 2.62ms (.42ms)

Added a new global distance field (4x 128^3 clipmaps) which caches mostly static primitives (Mobility set to Static or Stationary)
* The full global distance field inherits from the mostly static cache, so when a Movable primitive is modified, only other movable primitives in the vicinity need to be re-composited into the global distance field
* Global distance field update cost with one large rotating object went from 2.5ms -> .2ms on 970GTX and 4.6ms -> .3ms. Worst case full volume update is mostly the same.
* Adds 12Mb for the new volume textures

CL 3262343:
Fix depth testing on translucency not working correctly after cl 3231395. This change reapplies the D3D12RHI changes from CL 3231395 because those changes were lost when integrating from //Dev-Rendering/ but also includes the depth fixes:
- Fix depth state not being in DEPTH_READ for use as depth read. The issue was HasDepthBits and HasStencilBits wern't intended for SRV formats and always returned false in the SRV case.
CL 3231395:
Update D3D12 RHI:
- Fix deferred MSAA path in RHI
- Add Pix3.h support
- Cleanup SetName usage and remove it from shipping builds.
- Fix fence reuse bug. We were signaling MAX UINT (-1) and then waiting for 0, which was always signaled. This change also removes the fence value reset code, there is no need to reset a fence to a previous value.
- Use FPlatformAtomics::InterlockedIncrement instead of InterlockedIncrement64
- Use InterlockedIncrement() instead of _InterlockedIncrement() and use the FPlatformAtomics:: version.
- Fix possible readback heap being evicted while in use. GetQueryData happens on the render thread and isn't tied to a command list so we should always have readback heaps resident.

Modify some asserts in MetalRHI - technically using a store-action of ENoAction on Stencil buffers should make it invalid to restart a render-pass but on Mac it will work because ENoAction won't invalidate anything written.

ESRAM support stage 1:
Implemented noncontiguous ESRAM page allocator replacing XgMemoryLayout API. The allocator allocates non-contiguous ranges of pages and maps them onto a contiguous virtual address range.
Unlike the previous implementation, this allocator frees pages for reuse when resources are destroyed
Note: issues with deferred deallocation may prevent reuse in many cases - that will be addressed in the next stage
Support for the old allocator is still available (for now) via the define NEW_ESRAM_ALLOCATOR

Change 3209340 on 2016/11/23 by Ben.Marsh
Convert UE4 codebase to an "include what you use" model - where every header just includes the dependencies it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h.
Measured full rebuild times around 2x faster using XGE on Windows, and improvements of 25% or more for incremental builds and full rebuilds on most other platforms.
* Every header now includes everything it needs to compile.
* There's a CoreMinimal.h header that gets you a set of ubiquitous types from Core (eg. FString, FName, TArray, FVector, etc...). Most headers now include this first.
* There's a CoreTypes.h header that sets up primitive UE4 types and build macros (int32, PLATFORM_WIN64, etc...). All headers in Core include this first, as does CoreMinimal.h.
* Every .cpp file includes its matching .h file first.
* This helps validate that each header is including everything it needs to compile.
* No engine code includes a monolithic header such as Engine.h or UnrealEd.h any more.
* You will get a warning if you try to include one of these from the engine. They still exist for compatibility with game projects and do not produce warnings when included there.
* There have only been minor changes to our internal games down to accommodate these changes. The intent is for this to be as seamless as possible.
* No engine code explicitly includes a precompiled header any more.
* We still use PCHs, but they're force-included on the compiler command line by UnrealBuildTool instead. This lets us tune what they contain without breaking any existing include dependencies.
* PCHs are generated by a tool to get a statistical amount of coverage for the source files using it, and I've seeded the new shared PCHs to contain any header included by > 15% of source files.
Tool used to generate this transform is at Engine\Source\Programs\IncludeTool.

Tidy up and extend the Metal debugging options:
- Added rhi.Metal.BufferScribble which when enabled will fill freed buffer regions with 0xCD to help identify any areas where we are writing to a buffer while it is still being processed on the GPU.
- Added rhi.Metal.BufferZeroFill which will zero-fill newly allocated buffer regions before any other data is read/written. Useful for catching cases where we might be reading uninitialised memory.
- Added rhi.Metal.ResourcePurgeOnDelete which will purge the backing store of resources prior to releasing them back to the system or the respective pool. This will make any use-after-free conditions much more likely.
- Added rhi.Metal.ResourceDeferDeleteNumFrames to defer releasing resources to the system or the resource pool by the specified number of frames (in addition to the current policy of waiting for the current end of frame & command-buffer completion). Useful for tracking down resource lifetime errors.
- Fixed a number of bugs related to the modifications to vertex stream handling and addition of the SetShaderBytes API.
- Track the start & end of FRingBuffer ranges - it appeared that the ring-buffer usage was invalid but it was in fact only my assumptions about the range that needed to be scribbled for rhi.Metal.BufferScribble. There is still the possibility that command-buffers that are implicitly parallelised by the driver may cause the ring-buffer range tracking to go awry - but with our data dependencies and the separation of the async. compute context I don't believe this is likely.
- Fix up the "nometalv2" flag so that we can disable the features only available on iOS/tvOS-10/macOS-10.12 on newer devices to save having to reboot all the time.
- Fixed the flickering geometry when enabling rhi.Metal.RuntimeDebugLevel=4 which breaks render passes into separate command-buffers - the occlusion query was waiting on the wrong command buffer in this case.

Change 2859633 on 2016/02/08 by Dan.Oconnor
Transaction buffer uniformly address subobjects and SCS created components via an array of names and a root object. This allows undo/redo to work reliably to any depth of object hierarchy. Removed FReferencedObject and replaced it with the robust FPersistentObjectRef.
DefaultSubObjects of the CDO are now tagged as RF_Archetype at construction (logic in PropertyHandleImpl.cpp probably no longer required)
Actors reinstanced due to blueprint compilation now have stable names, so that this name can be used to reference their subobjects.
This is also part of the fix needed for UE-23335, completely fixes UE-26045
This version of the fix is less aggressive about searching all the way up an object's outer chain before stopping. Fixes issues with parts of outer chain changing on PIE. Also doesn't add objects referenced by subobject name to any AddReference calls which fixes race conditions with GC.
Also fixes bad logic in CopyPropertiesForUnrelatedObjects, which would create copies of subobjects that already existed because we were populating the ReferenceReplacementMap before adding all existing subobjects (always components in this case)

Change 2803940 on 2015/12/15 by Marcus.Wassmer
Add r.PS4.AsyncComputeBudgetMode to switch between CUMasking and WaveLimit modes. So far it looks like WaveLimits behave better in UE4.
Also rearrange AsyncSSAO to run immediately after HZB to overlap with occlusion queries. In my testing this takes SSAO cost from .5ms -> .2ms. However it had to be hacked to run without normals. Hopefully Martin can get some real AsyncSSAO in.

Change 2803999 on 2015/12/15 by Uriel.Doyon

TexelFactorAccuracy ViewMode : shows the accuracy of the static mesh texel factors, used for streaming.
WantedMipsAccuracy ViewMode : shows the accuracy of the static mesh wanted mips accuracy, used for streaming.
Added an option to stream textures based on the AABB distance instead of using the sphere approximation.
Added an option to only keep a the wanted mips.
Moved optimization related viewmodes into a submenu to avoid polluting the interface.

#UE4 Added weights to CPU/GPU perf index calculations. This will help distiguish between hardware that is faster/slower in ways that have a bigger impact on final framerate. A weight of 1 on a test is considered normal, <1 is considered less important and >1 is more important. I adjusted weights on existing tests according to current target PC hardware. Additionally I lowered the default "min spec" threshold to compensate for similarly performing low-end machines that are now better distiguished.

[CL 2692144 by Bob Tellez in Main branch]
I have reviewed each change carefully, but it is a large change and I could have missed something! Here is a summary of the types of changes in this CL:
* Made nullptr checks consistent (the plurality of the changes are of this type)
* Completed switch statements (IE, switch did not explicitly handle default case, but had unhandled enum entries - this is the second most popular type of fix)
* Removed unused variables
* Removed redundant initializations
* WidgetNavigationCustomization.cpp was fixed by the owner
* integers converted to floats where result was stored in a float
* Removed redundent null checks (e.g. before delete statements)
* Renamed variables to prevent non-obvious shadowing
* Fixed use of bitwise & when checking for equality to an enum entry (which is often 0)
* Fixes for some copy paste errors (e.g. FoliageEdMode.cpp)
[CL 2498053 by Dan Oconnor in Main branch]
* fixed SynthBenchmark for slow GPUs
* try with increasing number of work amount
* additionally tack total work time
* made WorkScale a float
* removed BenchMarkGraph (was for internal testing))
* updated version to 0.95
[CL 2291452 by Martin Mittring in Main branch]
- Removed default shader platform parameter from GetGlobalShaderMap()
- Added an inline overload of GetGlobalShaderMap() that takes a feature level instead, and translates to the correct shader platform
- Cached feature level on FSceneView for faster access
- Cached shader map on FViewInfo for faster access
- Cached featurelevel/shadermap on rendering composition graph execution context, for faster access
Fixed a couple of crashes when switching feature level dynamically
- Needed to allow certain shader permutations to be generated if feature level was ES2, but still on a PC platform. (i.e. hitproxy shaders, and basepass shaders used by editor primitives system)
