Project Overview
Project Overview
Vsync is a synchronization mechanism that operates within various systems, primarily related to graphics rendering and display pipelines. It is used to coordinate the refresh rates of displays with the rendering processes of applications.
Functionality
The main purpose of Vsync is to align the timing of app rendering, SurfaceFlinger composition, and display refresh cycles. This synchronization prevents stutter, improves visual performance, and minimizes latency distortions. It achieves this by generating Vsync events, which signal the start of a new frame display, ensuring that all rendering and composition processes are timed correctly.
Implementations
Vsync operates on multiple levels, including:
- SurfaceFlinger, which enables Vsync event generation, and
- The Hardware Composer (HWC), which provides Vsync events to SurfaceFlinger.
Relevant Concepts
- DispSync: A software phase-lock loop that generates Vsync and SF_Vsync signals.
- Vsync Signals: Generated by the Hardware Composer, these signals trigger rendering and composition for the display.
- Retention Times: The delay between the retire fence timestamp and the HW Vsync signal, which is measured and considered during synchronization.
- Customizable Offsets: Adjustable delays that help reduce latency while maintaining synchronization.
Importance
Vsync is essential for achieving smooth and accurate rendering on various platforms, including Android devices and game engines like Unity. It ensures that all visual elements synchronize correctly with the monitor's refresh rate, resulting in reduced stutter and tearing.
