ANGLE OpenGL Frame Capture and Replay

ANGLE currently supports a limited OpenGL capture and replay framework.

Limitations:

GLES capture has many unimplemented functions.
EGL capture and replay is not yet supported.
Mid-execution capture is supported with the Vulkan back-end.
Mid-execution capture has many unimplemented features.
Capture and replay is currently only tested on desktop platforms.
Binary replay is unimplemented. CPP replay is supported.

Capturing and replaying an application

To build ANGLE with capture and replay enabled update your GN args:

angle_with_capture_by_default = true

Once built ANGLE will capture the OpenGL ES calls to CPP replay files. By default the replay will be stored in the current working directory. The capture files will be named according to the pattern angle_capture_context{id}_frame{n}.cpp. Each GL Context currently has its own replay sources. ANGLE will write out data binary blobs for large Texture or Buffer contents to angle_capture_context{id}_frame{n}.angledata. Replay programs must be able to load data from the corresponding angledata files.

Controlling Frame Capture

Some simple environment variables control frame capture:

ANGLE_CAPTURE_ENABLED:
- Set to 0 to disable capture entirely. Default is 1.
ANGLE_CAPTURE_COMPRESSION:
- Set to 0 to disable capture compression. Default is 1.
ANGLE_CAPTURE_OUT_DIR=<path>:
- Can specify an alternate replay output directory.
- Example: ANGLE_CAPTURE_OUT_DIR=samples/capture_replay. Default is the CWD.
ANGLE_CAPTURE_FRAME_START=<n>:
- Uses mid-execution capture to write "Setup" functions that starts a Context at frame n.
- Example: ANGLE_CAPTURE_FRAME_START=2. Default is 0.
ANGLE_CAPTURE_FRAME_END=<n>:
- By default ANGLE will capture the first ten frames. This variable can override the default.
- Example: ANGLE_CAPTURE_FRAME_END=4. Default is 10.

ANGLE_CAPTURE_LABEL=<label>:

When specified, files and functions will be labeled uniquely.

Example: ANGLE_CAPTURE_LABEL=foo

Results in filenames like this:

foo_capture_context1.cpp
foo_capture_context1.h
foo_capture_context1_files.txt
foo_capture_context1_frame000.angledata
foo_capture_context1_frame000.cpp
foo_capture_context1_frame001.angledata
foo_capture_context1_frame001.cpp
...

Functions wrapped in namespaces like this:

namespace foo
{
    void ReplayContext1Frame0();
    void ReplayContext1Frame1();
}

For use like this:

foo::SetupContext1Replay();
for (...)
{
    foo::ReplayContext1Frame(i);
}

ANGLE_CAPTURE_SERIALIZE_STATE:
- Set to 1 to enable GL state serialization. Default is 0.

A good way to test out the capture is to use environment variables in conjunction with the sample template. For example:

$ ANGLE_CAPTURE_FRAME_END=4 ANGLE_CAPTURE_OUT_DIR=samples/capture_replay out/Debug/simple_texture_2d

Running a CPP replay

To run a CPP replay you can use a template located in samples/capture_replay. First run your capture and ensure all capture files are written to samples/capture_replay. You can conveniently use ANGLE_CAPTURE_OUT_DIR. Then enable the capture_replay_sample via gn args:

angle_build_capture_replay_sample = true

See samples/BUILD.gn for details. Then build and run your replay sample:

$ autoninja -C out/Debug capture_replay_sample
$ ANGLE_CAPTURE_ENABLED=0 out/Debug/capture_replay_sample

Note that we specify ANGLE_CAPTURE_ENABLED=0 to prevent re-capturing when running the replay.

Capturing an Android application

In order to capture on Android, the following additional steps must be taken. These steps presume you've built and installed the ANGLE APK with capture enabled, and selected ANGLE as the GLES driver for your application.

Create the output directory

Determine your package name:

export PACKAGE_NAME com.android.gl2jni

Then create an output directory that it can write to:

$ adb shell mkdir -p /sdcard/Android/data/$PACKAGE_NAME/angle_capture

Set properties to use for environment variable

On Android, it is difficult to set an environment variable before starting native code. To work around this, ANGLE will read debug system properties before starting the capture and use them to prime environment variables used by the capture code.

Note: Mid-execution capture doesn't work for Android just yet, so frame_start must be zero, which is the default. This it is sufficient to only set the end frame.
```
$ adb shell setprop debug.angle.capture.frame_end 200
```
There are other properties that can be set that match 1:1 with the env vars, but they are not required for capture:
```
# Optional
$ adb shell setprop debug.angle.capture.enabled 0
$ adb shell setprop debug.angle.capture.out_dir foo
$ adb shell setprop debug.angle.capture.frame_start 0
$ adb shell setprop debug.angle.capture.label bar
```

Run the application, then pull the files to the capture_replay directory

$ cd samples/capture_replay
$ adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/$PACKAGE_NAME/angle_capture replay_files
$ cp replay_files/* .

Update your GN args to specifiy which context will be replayed.

By default Context ID 1 will be replayed. On Android, Context ID 2 is more typical, some apps we've run go as high as ID 6. Note: this solution is temporary until EGL capture is in place.
```
angle_capture_replay_sample_context_id = 2
```
Replay the capture on desktop

Until we have samples building for Android, the replay sample must be run on desktop. We will also be plumbing replay files into perf and correctness tests which will run on Android.
```
$ autoninja -C out/Release capture_replay_sample
$ out/Release/capture_replay_sample
```

Starting capture at an arbitrary frame

In some scenarios, you don't know which frame you want to start on. You'll only know when target content is being rendered. For that we've added a trigger that can allow starting the capture at any time.

To use it, set the following environment variable, in addition to all the setup steps above. Set the trigger value equal to the number of frames you'd like to capture.

adb shell setprop debug.angle.capture.trigger 20

When this value is set, ANGLE_CAPTURE_FRAME_START and ANGLE_CAPTURE_FRAME_END will be ignored.

While your content is rendering, wait until you arrive at the scene you'd like to capture. Then set the value back to zero:

adb shell setprop debug.angle.capture.trigger 0

ANGLE will detect this change and start recording the requested number of frames.

Testing

Regression Testing Architecture

The python script uses the job queue pattern. We spawn n-1 independent worker processes, where n is the value returned by multiprocessing.cpu_count(). Whenever a worker process finishes a job and becomes available, it grabs the next job from a shared job queue and runs that job on its CPU core. When there are no more jobs in the queue, the worker processes terminate and the main process reports results.

Job unit

A job unit is a test batch. Each test has to go through 3 stages: capture run, replay build, and replay run. The test batch batches the replay build stage of multiple tests together, and the replay run stage of multiple tests together.

Running tests

From the command line, navigate to the ANGLE root folder angle then run the command below:

python3 src/tests/capture_replay_tests.py --use-goma --gtest_filter=*/ES2_Vulkan --keep-temp-files --output-to-file --batch-count=8

--use-goma to turn on/off building with goma
--gtest_filter to run only specific tests
--keep-temp-files to keep the trace files
--output-to-file to write the log to results.txt at src/tests/capture_replay_tests folder.
--batch-count to set the number of tests in a batch. More tests in a batch means that the tests will finish faster, but also means a lower level of granularity. All command line arguments can be found at the top of the python script.
