Version

    October 4, 2016 (version 1)

Dependencies

    OpenGL 4.5 is required.

    ARB_sparse_texture extension is required.

    ARB_sparse_texture2 extension is required.

    This specification is written against:
      - ARB_sparse_texture2 specification,
      - OpenGL 4.5 (core) specification.

Overview

    This tests verifies if functionality provided by ARB_sparse_texture2
    works as expected:

      * Checks if new built-in GLSL texture lookup and image load functions
        return information on whether the texels accessed for the texture
        lookup accessed uncommitted texture memory.

      * Checks if reads of uncommitted texture memory will act as though such
        memory were filled with zeroes; previously, the values returned by
        reads were undefined.

      * Standard implementation-independent virtual page sizes for internal
        formats required to be supported with sparse textures. Checks if these
        standard sizes can be requested by leaving VIRTUAL_PAGE_SIZE_INDEX_ARB
        at its initial value (0).

      * Checks if support for creating sparse multisample and multisample array
        textures is added and the virtual page sizes for such textures remain
        fully implementation-dependent.

CTS_ARB_sparse_texture Changes

    Sparse Allocation Test

      * No more INVALID_VALUE error is generated by TexStorage* function if
        TEXTURE_SPARSE_ARB parameter is TRUE and <width>, <height> or
        <depth> is not an integer multiple of the page size in the
        corresponding dimension.

New Tests

    Sparse Allocation Test

      * Extend CTS_ARB_sparse_texture SparseAllocationTestCase with targets
        TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE and TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY.

      * Test if SPARSE_TEXTURE_FULL_ARRAY_CUBE_MIPMAPS_ARB parameter is always
        TRUE for targets: TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY, TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY, TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP,
        TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_ARRAY or TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY.

    Sparse Texture Commitment Test

      * Extend CTS_ARB_sparse_texture SparseTextureCommitmentTestCase with targets
        TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE and TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY.

      * Test if for levels of a sparse texture where each dimension is greater than or
        equal to of the virtual page size, the residency of individual page-size
        regions may be controlled by TexPageCommitmentARB and such levels may be
        partially populated.

    Standard Virtual Page Sizes Test

      * Test GetInternalformativ query for formats from Table 8.X, Standard
        Virtual Page Sizes for Sparse Textures and <pname>:

          - VIRTUAL_PAGE_SIZE_X_ARB,
          - VIRTUAL_PAGE_SIZE_Y_ARB,
          - VIRTUAL_PAGE_SIZE_Z_ARB

        Check if values returned by query matches Standard Virtual Page Sizes.
    Uncommitted Regions Access Test

      * Verify if reads from such regions produce zeros for all components
        present in the texture format. This includes samples required for the
        implementation of texture filtering, image loads, mipmap generation,
        and so on.

        Test it for different texture formats and different read functions.

      * Verify if atomic operations on such regions will not generate
        exceptions but will always return zero and the result of the atomic
        operation, which is normally written to memory, will instead be
        discarded.

     Test it for different atomic operations.

      * Verify if performing the stencil test (section 17.3.5), depth buffer test
        (section 17.3.6), or depth bounds test (if supported) on pixels in
        uncommitted regions, the results of the test will be consistent with
        reading a value of zero from the framebuffer. No value is written to the
        depth buffer.

    Shader Extension Test

      * Create shader that require ARB_sparse_texture2 extension
        and check if ARB_sparse_texture2 is defined and equal 1.
        Check if shader compiles with no error.

    Shader Sparse Texture Lookup Tests

      * Iterate through all sparse supported targets.
        Allocate sparse texture for current <target> with committed and
          uncommitted regions.
        Create multiple shaders that enables ARB_sparse_texture2 extension
          and each use one of the function from list below
          (if supported by <target>):

          - sparseTextureARB
          - sparseTextureLodARB
          - sparseTextureOffsetARB
          - sparseTexelFetchARB
          - sparseTexelFetchOffsetARB
          - sparseTextureLodOffsetARB
          - sparseTextureGradARB
          - sparseTextureGradOffsetARB
          - sparseTextureGatherARB
          - sparseTextureGatherOffsetARB
          - sparseTextureGatherOffsetsARB
          - sparseImageLoadARB

          Shaders should check texture access residency information using
          sparseTexelsResidentARB function and pass vec4(1, 1, 1, 1) to the output
          if access committed region and vec4(0, 0, 0, 1) otherwise.
        Iterate through shaders, create and use program for current iteration
          and draw a prepared texture.
        Verify if shader pass test by reading pixels from framebuffer and
          checking if their values are as expected.
