This Week in GNOME #187 Triple Buffered Notifications

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 16, 2025

Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from February 07 to February 14.

Today, just in time for this edition of This Week in GNOME and after 5 years, more than a thousand review comments, and multiple massive refactorings and rewrites, the legendary merge request mutter!1441 was merged.

This merge requests introduces an additional render buffer when Mutter is not able to keep up with the frames.

The technique commonly known as dynamic triple buffering can help in situations where the total time to generate a frame - including CPU and GPU work - is longer than one refresh cycle. This improves the concurrency capabilities of Mutter by letting the compositor start working on the next frame as early as possible, even when the previous frame isn’t displayed.

In practice, this kind of situation can happen with sudden burst of activity in the compositor. For example, when the GNOME Shell overview is opened after a period of low activity.
