Hi Martin,

Is there an easy way to tell if these missing machines are a result of
changes made to the patches here vs something else in the test
infrastructure?

Thanks,
Stuart

What's the planned usage here? TGL HW only supports slice-level 
power-gating and with only 1 slice on TGL we don't really have a choice 
of what to program, do we?

Unless there was some discussion I missed we can't just turn it on to 
work around a SKIP in IGT. Feature was deliberately limited to Icelake 
and even there just to a sub-set of possible configurations.

Thanks for asking!

Sometimes, some machines fail to boot for reasons unrelated to the patch
series. We introduced the ci@boot test to be able to tell them apart,
but this is WIP (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111208)...

In the mean time, the best you can do is look at the result grid... Sorry!

Martin

No conversation was missed, or at least none I was a part of. Is there
a reason we don't allow this on future platforms?

We do claim powergate support on TGL, so I assumed it would be good to
take this path on that platform. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something
here though.

Thanks,

Well, we do claim powergate support on TGL, so I assumed we'd want to
enable this path. Maybe I'm missing something though. Had a similar
response to Tvrtko.

Thanks,

The current interface is purely to work around a silicon issue on icl.
It was not developed into a fully reconfigurable sseu interface mostly
due to a lack of demonstrable need and a lack of appreciation of the
tradeoffs between different system users (along with the claim that this
is all meant to be handled by instructions in the command stream...).
Another team did try to autoadjust sseu but also did not produce the
rationale nor attempt to integrate with the existing code.

Ok that makes sense then and thanks for the explanations here. Please
consider my patch dropped :)

For the record and from my memory, the demonstrated need pre-gen11 was 
from the media transcoding side where it benefited performance for some 
workload types. What wasn't clear was the best strategy of striking a 
balance between increased cost of context switching (between contexts 
with different sseu configs) and performance benefit of going with 
reduced sseu. Again from memory, the best option looked to be a hybrid 
solution of not re-configuring SSEU on every context switch, but done 
periodically from an external entity, based on workload types input. As 
such it did not align completely with the per-context controls.

I forgot about this one, wonder what happened there. This was also for 
pre-gen11 but with demonstrated performance-per-Watt benefit for some 3d 
workloads on Android. This was known as "Dynamic SSEU".
