From ffbdaa71e40d1a9dc45654b15e4bd01ec1add9a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filip Leonarski Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 16:32:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] preprocessing: page-lock the reader's bytes for an uncompressed image PinInputBuffer() page-locks the buffer an image is decompressed into, which an uncompressed image never uses: it is read straight out of the reader's own buffer, so the upload came from pageable memory. Measured on this card, 72.6 MB crosses at 5.6 GB/s pageable and 14.6 GB/s registered - 12.9 ms against 5.0 ms, on every image of a sweep that stores its frames uncompressed. PinInputRegion() page-locks a region the caller owns and remembers it, so a worker that reads every frame into the same buffer registers it once. The registration is dropped with the engine, so the three workers that build one declare their raw image before it.
