alyssa changed the topic of #panfrost to: Panfrost - FLOSS Mali Midgard + Bifrost + Valhall - Logs https://oftc.irclog.whitequark.org/panfrost - I don't know anything about WSI. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

bifrost was a mistake
<pentallelogram>
lol
<pentallelogram>
why do you say that?
<HdkR>
Valhall is too much of an improvement, Bifrost being in the middle just makes you want Valhall :P
<alyssa>
HdkR: That's part of it
<alyssa>
The other part is that v7 in particular broke a ton of stuff that worked fine in Midgard and didn't have a good reason to do so
<alyssa>
Midgard was good for its era, Valhall is good for its era, Bifrost is.... in the middle.

like you like wax records and mp3 but hate CDs
<alyssa>
basically
<alyssa>
on one hand if arm jumped from v5 to v10, it'd make for much saner drivers
<alyssa>
on the other hand I dunno if I would've come along for the jump if I hadn't been dragged through Bifrost and JM Valhall first
<alyssa>
Okay, I actually really love JM Valhall
<alyssa>
Definitely my favourite Mali
<alyssa>
indirect draws are a lot harder than on CSF, i guess
