[0029] In order to make the persons skilled in the art better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0031] Figure 1 A flowchart of a graphic processor debugging method provided for the first embodiment of the present application, the present embodiment can be applicable to the case of debugging a graphic processor rendering program, and the method can be executed by a graphic processor debugging device which can be realized in the form of hardware and / or software and configured in an electronic device. As shown in the figure, the method comprises: Figure 1

[0032] In step 110, when the graphic processor displays an abnormal rendering object during the running process, the image frame index and the rendering command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object are acquired.

[0033] In the present embodiment, the graphic processor rendering program can be an application program in the graphic processor for rendering a display picture. Specifically, during the running process of the graphic processor rendering program, an object (i.e. abnormal rendering object) with abnormal rendering in the display picture can be acquired.

[0034] Taking a game interface as an example, during the process of rendering the interface by using the graphic processor rendering program, a game scene (such as a game character or a game prop, etc.) with abnormal display can be acquired as an abnormal rendering object, and the image frame index and the rendering command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object can be acquired according to the rendering program.​

[0035] In step 120, an initial debugging command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is generated according to the image frame index and the rendering command, and the initial debugging command is run by the graphic processor; the initial debugging command includes a debugging type corresponding to the abnormal rendering object, a target image frame index, and a debugging index corresponding to the debugging type.

[0036] In this embodiment, after detecting the abnormal rendering object, the rendering type corresponding to the abnormal rendering object can be obtained according to the rendering command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object, and the rendering type is taken as the debugging type, and then the initial debugging command is generated according to the image frame index corresponding to the abnormal rendering object and the debugging type.

[0037] Specifically, the debugging type can be drawing (DDI DRAW), scheduling (DDI DISPATCH), clearing (DDI CLEAR), resource updating (DDI RESOURCE UPDATE), or resource copying (DDI RESOURCE COPY), etc. Assuming that the abnormal event corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is a display abnormality, the debugging type can be determined as drawing; assuming that the abnormal event corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is an updating abnormality, the debugging type can be determined as resource updating.

[0038] In one embodiment of this embodiment, taking the debugging type as drawing as an example, the initial debugging command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object can be:

[0039] DEBUG TYPE=DDI DRAW, LOG ENABLE=TRUE

[0040] Set FRAME INDEX RANGE=Start frame-End frame DRAW INDEX RANGE=Start drawing-End drawing

[0041] wherein "DEBUG_TYPE" is used to represent the debug type, "LOG_ENABLE" is used to represent whether to enable log record, "Set" is used to set the filter condition to limit the debug range of the debug command, and spaces are used to separate each filter condition. "FRAME_INDEX_RANGE" is used to represent the target image frame index corresponding to the abnormal rendering object, which can be a specific value or an interval. When "FRAME_INDEX_RANGE" is set to -1, it is used to represent that all image frames are acquired. "DRAW_INDEX_RANGE" is used to represent the drawing index corresponding to the debug type of drawing, which can be a specific value or an interval. When "DRAW_INDEX_RANGE" is set to -1, it is used to represent that all drawing processes are acquired. Therefore, the above initial debug command is used to represent the program information of the first drawing and the last drawing in the start image frame and the end image frame of the abnormal rendering object.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, if the program information of the 2nd-3rd drawing in the 1st image frame of the abnormal rendering object is to be acquired, the following initial debug command can be generated:

[0043] DEBUG_TYPE=DDI_DRAW, LOG_ENABLE=TRUE

[0044] Set FRAME_INDEX_RANGE=1 DRAW_INDEX_RANGE=2-3

[0045] In another specific embodiment, if the program information of the 4th drawing in all image frames of the abnormal rendering object is to be acquired, the following initial debug command can be generated:

[0046] DEBUG_TYPE=DDI_DRAW, LOG_ENABLE=TRUE

[0047] Set FRAME_INDEX_RANGE=-1 DRAW_INDEX_RANGE=4

[0048] In another specific embodiment, if the program information of all drawings in all image frames of the abnormal rendering object is to be acquired, the following initial debug command can be generated:

[0049] DEBUG_TYPE=DDI_DRAW, LOG_ENABLE=TRUE

[0050] Set FRAME_INDEX_RANGE=-1 DRAW_INDEX_RANGE=-1

[0051] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, taking the debug type of dispatch as an example, the initial debug command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object can be:

[0052] DEBUG TYPE = DDI DISPATCH, LOG ENABLE = TRUE

[0053] Set FRAME INDEX RANGE = start frame-end frame DISPATCH INDEX RANGE = start dispatch-end dispatch

[0054] The initial debug command is used to indicate the program information of the first dispatch and the last dispatch in the start image frame and the end image frame of the abnormal rendering object. The DISPATCH INDEX RANGE is used to indicate the dispatch index corresponding to the debug type of dispatch, which can be a specific value or an interval. When the DISPATCH INDEX RANGE is set to -1, it is used to indicate that all dispatch processes are obtained.

[0055] In the present embodiment, after the initial debug command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is generated in the above manner, the initial debug command can be transmitted to the graphics processor, and the graphics processor is run by the initial debug command.

[0056] Step 130, obtaining the initial running result of the initial debug command by the graphics processor, adding at least one debug parameter in the initial debug command according to the initial running result, obtaining the updated debug command, and running the updated debug command by the graphics processor.

[0057] In actual application, the initial running result of the initial debug command by the graphics processor usually has a large amount of code data, and it is difficult to quickly and accurately locate the abnormal reason corresponding to the abnormal rendering object. In view of this, the present embodiment provides a way of narrowing the debug range of the initial debug command to obtain the updated debug command, so as to reduce the amount of code data in the running result of the debug command, and realize the quick positioning of the abnormal reason.

[0058] In the present embodiment, at least one debug parameter can be added to the initial debug command according to the debug type in the initial debug command to obtain the updated debug command, and the updated debug command is run by the graphics processor. Taking the debug type of drawing as an example, the specific rendering parameters in the drawing process can be added to the initial debug command; taking the debug type of dispatch as an example, the specific rendering parameters in the dispatch process can be added to the initial debug command.

[0059] After the updated debugging command is run by the graphics processor, the developer can locate the abnormal reason of the abnormal rendering object according to the running result of the updated debugging command.

[0060] The advantage of the arrangement is that the debugging efficiency of the graphics processor rendering program can be improved, and the hardware load of the graphics processor and the influence on the performance of the rendering program can be reduced by gradually narrowing the debugging range of the debugging command.

[0061] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment can locate the abnormal reason of the abnormal rendering object according to the running result of the updated debugging command by detecting that the graphics processor displays the abnormal rendering object during the running process, obtaining the image frame index and the rendering command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object, generating the initial debugging command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object according to the image frame index and the rendering command, obtaining the initial running result of the initial debugging command by the graphics processor, adding at least one debugging parameter in the initial debugging command according to the initial running result to obtain the updated debugging command, and running the updated debugging command by the graphics processor, which can debug the rendering program based on the real graphics processor hardware, obtain more accurate debugging information, and facilitate the developer to locate the abnormal reason of the abnormal rendering object according to the debugging information, thereby improving the debugging efficiency of the graphics processor rendering program.

[0062] Figure 2 The flowchart of the graphics processor debugging method provided for the second embodiment of the application is a further refinement of the above-mentioned embodiment. As shown in Figure 2 The method comprises the following steps.

[0063] In step 210, when the graphics processor displays the abnormal rendering object during the running process, the image frame index and the rendering command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object are obtained.

[0064] In step 220, the initial debugging command corresponding to the drawing type is generated according to the image frame index and the rendering command, and the initial debugging command is run by the graphics processor.

[0065] In step 230, the initial running result of the initial debugging command by the graphics processor is obtained, and the multiple drawing identification, the multiple instance identification and the primitive identification corresponding to the abnormal rendering object are added in the initial debugging command according to the initial running result to obtain the first updated command.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the first updated command can be:

[0067] DEBUG_TYPE=DDI_DRAW, LOG_ENABLE=TRUE

[0068] Set FRAME_INDEX_RANGE=1 DRAW_INDEX_RANGE=2 DRAWID_RNAGE=1-10 INSTANCEID_RANGE=1-20 PRIMITIVEID_RNAGE=1-30

[0069] wherein, DRAWID_RNAGE is used to represent the draw ID in multi-draw, DRAWID_RNAGE can be a specific value or interval, DRAWID_RNAGE is -1, which is used to represent obtaining all draw IDs. INSTANCEID_RANGE is used to represent the instance ID in multi-instance, INSTANCEID_RANGE can be a specific value or interval, INSTANCEID_RANGE is -1, which is used to represent obtaining all instance IDs. PRIMITIVEID_RNAGE is used to represent the primitive ID, PRIMITIVEID_RNAGE can be a specific value or interval, PRIMITIVEID_RNAGE is -1, which is used to represent obtaining all primitive IDs.

[0070] Therefore, the first update command is used to represent obtaining the program information of the first to tenth draw IDs, the first to twentieth instance IDs and the first to thirtieth primitive IDs in the first drawing of the first image frame corresponding to the abnormal rendering object.

[0071] Step 240, running the first update command by the graphics processor, and obtaining the first running result of the graphics processor on the first update command.

[0072] Step 250, according to the first running result, adding the shader type corresponding to the abnormal rendering object and the pixel range corresponding to the shader type in the first update command to obtain the second update command.

[0073] In the embodiment, if the code data amount in the first running result is large, the debugging range of the first update command can be further reduced to obtain the second update command.

[0074] Specifically, in order to reduce the debugging range of the first update command, the filtering condition of the shader in the graphics pipeline can be added on the basis of the first update command to obtain the second update command:

[0075] DEBUG_TYPE=DDI_DRAW, LOG_ENABLE=TRUE

[0076] Set FRAME_INDEX_RANGE=1 DRAW_INDEX_RANGE=2 DRAWID_RNAGE=1

[0077] INSTANCEID_RANGE=2 PRIMITIVEID_RNAGE=3 SHADER_TYPE=PS

[0078] PS_BOX_RANGE=(100-150, 200-250)

[0079] The "SHADER_TYPE" is used to represent the shader type corresponding to the abnormal rendering object, such as a vertex shader (VS), a hull shader (HS), a domain shader (DS), a geometry shader (GS), and a pixel shader (PS). The "PS_BOX_RANGE" is used to represent the pixel range corresponding to the pixel shader. The "PS_BOX_RANGE" can be represented by coordinates (C, D), where C is the pixel range in the horizontal direction, and D is the pixel range in the vertical direction.

[0080] Therefore, the second update command is used to represent the program information of the pixels in the (100-150, 200-250) region in the corresponding pixel shader of the first drawing ID, the second instance ID, and the third primitive ID in the second drawing process in the first image frame of the abnormal rendering object.

[0081] In step 260, the second update command is executed by the graphics processor, and the second execution result of the graphics processor on the second update command is obtained. According to the second execution result, the target abnormal reason corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is determined.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present embodiment, according to the second execution result, the target abnormal reason corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is determined, including: storing the second execution result into a target log file, and determining the target abnormal reason corresponding to the abnormal rendering object according to the target log file.

[0083] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, according to the second execution result, the target abnormal reason corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is determined, including: displaying the second execution result through a visual interface, and determining the target abnormal reason corresponding to the abnormal rendering object according to the visual interface.

[0084] The advantage of the arrangement is that the abnormal reason of the abnormal rendering object can be quickly determined, and the solving efficiency of the abnormal rendering object is improved.

[0085] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment can detect the display of the abnormal rendering object by the graphic processor during the running process, acquire the image frame index and the rendering command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object, generate the initial debugging command corresponding to the drawing type according to the image frame index and the rendering command, run the initial debugging command by the graphic processor, acquire the initial running result of the initial debugging command by the graphic processor, add the multi-drawing identifier, the multi-instance identifier and the primitive identifier corresponding to the abnormal rendering object in the initial debugging command according to the initial running result, obtain the first update command, run the first update command by the graphic processor, acquire the first running result of the first update command by the graphic processor, add the shader type corresponding to the abnormal rendering object and the pixel range corresponding to the shader type in the first update command according to the first running result, obtain the second update command, run the second update command by the graphic processor, acquire the second running result of the second update command by the graphic processor, and determine the target abnormal reason corresponding to the abnormal rendering object according to the second running result, so that the debugging efficiency of the graphic processor rendering program and the accuracy of the debugging result can be improved.

[0086] Figure 3 The flowchart of the graphic processor debugging method provided for the third embodiment of the application is a further refinement of the above-mentioned embodiments. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps.

[0087] In step 310, when the graphic processor displays an abnormal rendering object during the running process, the image frame index and the rendering command corresponding to the abnormal rendering object are acquired.

[0088] In step 320, the initial debugging command corresponding to the scheduling type is generated according to the image frame index and the rendering command, and the initial debugging command is run by the graphic processor.

[0089] In step 330, the initial running result of the initial debugging command by the graphic processor is acquired.

[0090] In step 340, the compute shader corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is determined, and the work group range corresponding to the compute shader is added in the initial debugging command to obtain the update debugging command.

[0091] In the embodiment, the workgroup range can be represented using coordinates (A, B, C), A represents the workgroup range on the x-coordinate axis, B represents the workgroup range on the y-coordinate axis, and C represents the workgroup range on the z-coordinate axis.

[0092] Specifically, if the computing shader workgroup information in the region (1-1, 3-6, 7-8) in the third dispatch process (1-1, 3-6, 7-8) in the fifth image frame of the abnormal rendering object is to be acquired, the following updated debugging command can be generated:

[0093] DEBUG_TYPE=DDI_DISPATCH, LOG_ENABLE=TRUE

[0094] Set FRAME_INDEX_RANGE=5 DISPATCH_INDEX_RANGE=3

[0095] GROUP_RANGE=(1-1, 3-6, 7-8)

[0096] Step 350, running the updated debugging command through the graphics processor.

[0097] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment, when an abnormal rendering object is displayed during the running of the graphics processor, the image frame index corresponding to the abnormal rendering object and the rendering command are acquired, the initial debugging command corresponding to the dispatch type is generated according to the image frame index and the rendering command, the initial debugging command is run through the graphics processor, the initial running result of the initial debugging command by the graphics processor is acquired, the computing shader corresponding to the abnormal rendering object is determined, the workgroup range corresponding to the computing shader is added in the initial debugging command to obtain the updated debugging command, and the technical means of running the updated debugging command through the graphics processor can improve the debugging efficiency of the graphics processor rendering program and the accuracy of the debugging result.
