Watch a 21-minute conference talk from XDC 2023 exploring the implementation of intelligent frame scheduling in wlroots during Google Summer of Code 2023. Learn about the development of an API that optimizes when compositors begin rendering relative to previous frames, balancing the tradeoff between lower latency and deadline reliability. Discover the infrastructure changes made to wlroots, the creation of a "stock" algorithm for parameter prediction, and hear Rose Hudson's insights on the project outcomes and challenges faced while adding dynamic render timing capabilities to improve compositor performance.
