Description Leo Wang 2020-10-14 07:26:15 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice's interface is sluggish when resizing, scrolling and during other operations when used under macOS 10.13/14/15 with a 10-bit 5K display.

The attached patch will improve the rendering performance by setting NSWindow's color depth limit.

There are still large amount of pixel format conversions from agbr32 to rgba32 even under the display is in SRGB color space.
Comment 2 Leo Wang 2020-10-17 13:05:54 UTC
Another patch to create a bitmap with the color space of the main display, thus slightly improves rendering performance.

But there are still layers of other color spaces, so there are still pixel format conversions.

Comment 8 How can I remove my account? 2020-10-18 12:54:28 UTC
Do I understand correctly that a colour space is only concerned with what colour channels are used, what the (XYZ) colours of the primaries are, what the whitepoint is, and such issues, and the number of bits per colour component is not as such related to the colour space used? (Although in practice, the sRGB colour space is typically used with 8 bits per RGB channel, and wider gamut colour spaces are used with 10 bits per channel or floating point components even?)

With iStat Menus' CPU/GPU dropdown menu:

Original: 5-7 fps (almost unusable)
Patched: 12-18 fps (acceptable, but not smooth)

when the content is pure text.

Quartz Debug also gives the FPS number, but since it updates the dock icon frequently, the number is usually much higher than the actual, especially when the FPS is very low.

I am still trying to find where the pixel format conversions are introduced.

AquaSalGraphics::copyArea and AquaSalGraphics::copyBits are the hottest spots, they call CGContextDrawLayerInRect and CGContextDrawLayerAtPoint and those 2 functions call argb32_image_mark then rgba32_sample_rgba32 is called.
Comment 11 How can I remove my account? 2020-10-19 07:05:31 UTC

I use iStat Menus just for convenience. You don't need install it.

Get the fps number by the following code.

--- [1.c] ---
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

typedef int CGSConnectionID;

extern CGSConnectionID _CGSDefaultConnection(void);
extern int32_t CGSGetPerformanceData(CGSConnectionID cid, float *outFPS, float *unk, float *unk2, float *unk3);

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	CGSConnectionID cid = _CGSDefaultConnection();
	for (;;)
	{
		float fps, f1, f2, f3;
		CGSGetPerformanceData(cid, &fps, &f1, &f2, &f3);
		printf("fps=%f\n", fps);
		sleep(1);
	}
}
---

Compile it with:

cc -o 1 1.c -framework CoreGraphics

Nice work Leo. I really wonder though whether just switching to use Skia to do our rendering here wouldn't solve the performance problems, switch to an optimized backend and allow a huge amount of helpful code-sharing.

Lubos - any pointers / skeleton patch for enabling / testing Skia on Mac ?

Leo - a chunk of the work there is (I suspect) testing, and tweaking =) if you're interested.

I like they idea of shared code; including ability of using Vulkan.
Bit tired of testing all those backends (even though MacOS backend doing pretty OK)

While being hell of topic here.. what's the reason for separate GTK3/KDE5 backends? Seeing GTK3 bugs in they bugtracker on a pretty regular basis. Those are nicely maintained, but require quite some resources.

The reason is integration into the desktop.

I would be prepared to commit both patches https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/104476 and https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/104477 . It would be nice to get the changes into the nightly builds. Or, Leo, do you think we should wait for more investigation first?

(If it turns out that either or both need to be reverted, that can be trivially done later.)

I'm not familiar with the quartz VCL backend, but I doubt there's a simple patch for making it use Skia, the backend would need to get ported to use Skia APIs (or use pluggable implementations the same way Windows and 'gen' backends do).

To elaborate more on this, in case somebody would like to implement Skia support for Mac:

The Skia support on Windows (and on Linux with the 'gen' VCL backend) works by having the WinSalGraphics class forward all the graphic calls to SalGraphicsImpl base class that actually performs them (see e.g. WinSalGraphics::drawLine()). And Skia use is done by having WinSkiaSalGraphicsImpl class be the actual class that performs the drawing. The rest of the platform-specific code such as window handling is still done by WinSalGraphics and other classes from the 'win' backend.

So Skia support on Mac would presumably require changing the 'quartz' VCL backend to work similarly. I.e. make AquaSalGraphics forward drawing calls to SalGraphicsImpl implementation, move the current drawing code to AquaSalGraphicsImpl (or whatever it would be called), and then create AquaSkiaSalGraphicsImpl, which would inherit from SkiaSalGraphicsImpl.

Comment 25 How can I remove my account? 2020-10-21 08:30:54 UTC
Leo, sadly the colour space change had to be reverted, see above.

Do you think using CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB() instead of CGDisplayCopyColorSpace(CGMainDisplayID()) would also help for the performance? That doesn't make the unit test fail. But on the other hand, CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB() is weird. What does it actually do? The docs say that it returns "a device-dependent RGB color space", but not say for what device.

CGDisplayCopyColorSpace(CGMainDisplayID()) brings performance improvement in my 5K 10-bit display.
Comment 27 How can I remove my account? 2020-10-21 13:41:22 UTC
But as it causes a unit test to fail, we can't really use it as such. Either the test is wrong and needs to be fixed, or code elsewhere in LibreOffice needs to be updated to match the changed RGB colour space.

I saw the failed test (BitmapRenderTest). I think the test needs to be improved so that it is aware of the color value shift due to the nature of color space difference.

<html>
  <table bgcolor=#22ff55>
    <tr>
      <td width=500>aaa</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</html>

This makes a quick demo: the background color of the table cell is #22ff55. In Digital Color Meter,

with Safari 14:

- sRGB: #23ff55
- native value: #79fb6e
- generic RGB: #2dff44  (ff is clipped)
- Adobe RGB: #93ff64

with Chrome 87:

- sRGB: #23ff55
- native value: #22ff55
- generic RGB: #2cff44 (ff is clipped)
- Adobe RGB: #93ff64

If a bitmap is created with other color space then SRGB, the RGB color value of a pixel extracted with SRGB color space is different vs the original value.

Maybe, but surely also other code all over the place (slight exaggeration) would need to be adjusted, too, if the colour space used to display LO's windows were a device-dependent, potentially wide gamut, colour space. As it is (now with the change reverted), everything is sRGB.

Currently the test unit creates a bitmap, draws a point with specific color, gets the pixel's color value and compares against the original value. This only works when there is only one color space.

Maybe we can add a "hidden" preference item to let the user choose?

Without a complete rewrite of the renderer, it is very difficult to make use of the GPU: all bitmap drawing works have to be done with CPU, and it is hard to predict what color space CGLayer determines to blend all the layers to generate the final bitmap.

PS: with all the 3 patches to "consistentize" the color spaces, on my Mac LibreOffice retrieves 20-25fps for text, spreadsheets and simple presentations.
Comment 34 How can I remove my account? 2020-10-22 14:40:59 UTC
But it isn't only about the test. LibreOffice itself must also continue working and show colours as before.

If we start claiming to the OS that the windows and bitmaps we use are in a wide-gamut colour space, but still use RGB values in them that are in sRGB, won't the colours look all wrong?

If a document uses an 8 bits per channel RGB colour (0, 255, 0), that means the colour is the green primary of sRGB (which is the implicit default colour space), doesn't it? 

And if that colour then is used as such in a pixmap claimed to be in the display's native wide-gamut colour space, and drawn to a window that also uses the same wide-gamut colourspace, it will be shown as a much different green, as the green primary of the wide-gamut colour space.

Or am I missing something?
Comment 35 Michael Meeks 2020-10-22 14:49:05 UTC
Not read it in a long time; but assuming the OS/X backend does like the gtk3 and headless backends - and keeps a back-buffer for the whole window around as well as tracking damage to do incremental rendering - possibly switching the back-buffer to the display format might help subsequent blitting of that ... just a thought.

The following patch which works with the color depth limit patch provides speed improvements while keeping the color space of the internal bitmap the same as before (SRGB). It creates a CGImage of the color space of the current display when painting the layer to the screen context.

Comment 38 Leo Wang 2020-10-24 13:17:46 UTC
Further improved patch based on the color depth limit patch.

1. Improved drawing performance on 10-bit displays by avoiding multiple color space conversions.
2. Make all drawing context bitmaps have the same color space and byte order of the host system.
3. Fixed serious CG-related memory leak (existed no later than version 7.0) when changing the window size.

Yes.
Comment 41 How can I remove my account? 2020-10-24 14:45:53 UTC
See https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/104756

I cleaned up the last bit of the patch (and a preceding line) to be more consistent (initialise both CGRect structs there the same way), and to not use the "x" prefix for something that is not a UNO reference.
Comment 42 Noel Grandin 2020-10-24 18:40:45 UTC
Leo, thanks for this, nice work. But I notice we are introducing an extra copy into the hot path - what is this going to do on low end macs, where the display is likely to be 8-bit RGB already? Do we not need some kind of check for > 8 bit before doing the extra copy?
Comment 43 How can I remove my account? 2020-10-24 18:52:16 UTC
I am not sure whether any actual significant copy of data is generated or not. Isn't CGIMage a very "lazy" class and operations on a such don't necessarily do any work or allocate any significant amounts of data unless absolutely needed? Only profiling can tell.
Comment 44 Leo Wang 2020-10-25 12:48:57 UTC
As far as I know, most Mac displays are color-managed, even very old models of notebook and workstation, which means the color space conversion is unavoidable. Also, color space conversions can be performed between two same bit-per-component formats (e.g. 8-bit SRGB and 8-bit calibrated SRGB).
Comment 45 Leo Wang 2020-10-27 05:29:44 UTC
Patch dated 2020-10-27.

1. Code style adjustments according to comments on Gerrit.
2. Small performance improvements:

- Create the CGImage based on window's color space instead of the display's.
- Set blend mode to kCGBlendModeCopy when copying bitmaps.

Leo, could you please start submitting your patches through Gerrit? That is what everybody else uses... I have done it for you a couple of times, but it is rather tedious.

I have created my Gerrit account, but failed to `git push` (403).

Somehow without notification.. probably because of the missing TDF bug number in the commit title
Comment 50 Telesto 2020-11-09 08:27:09 UTC
I forgot, would someone please backport this to 7.0 branch. I can't confirm if it work, though (non-Retina) but I assume it does :-)

Hi Telesto,
Before it's backported I would like to hear from someone who could reproduce this issue to see if things have improved.
Comment 52 Martin Jungowski 2020-11-09 17:26:23 UTC
As I have just posted in the related bug report 113104 I can report that the fix is definitely working and improved performance significantly. The sooner this is backported the better as LibreOffice is unusable on macOS at the moment.

See https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113104#c31 for FPS and details.

The bugfix does not seem to be part of 7.0.4.2 -- or it is not working. 

Could somebody please update on when we can hope for improvement on this? Working with LO on a Retina Mac is *really* a pain.

I have a few Macs of various ages (some Retina, some not) and gladly volunteer for QA.

So in any workflow. Not specific related to images? There pretty big issue in that area (solved with 7.0.5). Any change to test against Master?

Comment 57 birnbach@posteo.de 2021-03-24 18:00:41 UTC
No notable change in 10.0.5.2. 

I find that slow display is even a problem even when working with text if the file is large or the user very quick. 

That's on a 27" Retina 5K iMac with 3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 from 2019 running 10.15.7. 

With NC this machine is easily outperformed by my 10 years old MacBook Air 1,7 GHz Intel Core i5 from 2011 without Retina display running 10.13.4

As NC is practically not usable on a state of the art Retina Mac I propose changing bug severity from normal to major.

Proposing assistance in bug documentation and testing again.
Comment 58 birnbach@posteo.de 2021-05-06 08:55:36 UTC
Draw performance is significantly improved in 7.1.2.2, we are back in the 'usable' area. Working with more complex objects is still kind of lagging, though, and some more efficiency would be quite welcome.

Could somebody please kindly check if Leo Wang's patch is part of the mentioned release? I could find no mentioning of speed related changes in the Release Notes and the bug is still open.
Comment 59 Martin Jungowski 2021-05-10 16:16:13 UTC
I haven't checked the source but I can confirm that the current 7.1 release is about as fast as the Develoepr Beta that I ran my initial tests with back in November of 2020 (see comment 52). I get around 10-12 FPS with pre-patched versions and 25-27 FPS with the Developer Beta, 7.0.5, and 7.1.3 downloaded from libreoffice.org as well as LibreOffice Vanilla 7.1.2 downloaded from the Mac App Store.

After discovering that unlike the libreoffice.org release the Mac App Store release is already a Universal Binary I ran the same tests on my low-end MacBook Air M1 as well, just for sh*ts and giggles. Lo and behold, my M1 Air runs the universal binary at a buttery smooth 50+ FPS. Which is 50% faster than the Intel binary (tried Dev and 7.1.3, both of which yielded around 35 FPS) or any version of LibreOffice on my Intel iMac, which seems to peak at around 25-27 FPS.

Hi Leo, Tor,
Should this issue be closed as RESOLVED FIXED ?
Comment 61 birnbach@posteo.de 2021-10-11 16:15:00 UTC
I hate to spoil the party but shouldn't we make sure unnecessary pixel copying is safely disabled in all versions before we close the bug? The M1 framerates are phenomenal but there is a lot of Intel Macs out there.

I guess so..
