Enhances .github/workflows/ci.yml for KhronosGroup/OpenVX-sample-impl with
the same patterns used by kiritigowda/rustVX:
- Adds an explicit, granular CTS Core Vision kernels job (cts-vision-kernels)
so regressions in 2D vision kernels are visible independently of the
broader enhanced-vision band.
- Expands the Enhanced Vision filter to cover HOGCells, HOGFeatures,
MatchTemplate, LBP, Copy, NonMaxSuppression, HoughLinesP, BilateralFilter,
ControlFlow, TensorOp, Min/Max, Tensor, and TensorEnhanced — matching the
split jobs in the rustVX workflow.
- Excludes TensorNetworks.AlexNetTestNetwork from the Neural Networks job
because ImageNet weights are not shipped in the public CTS submodule.
- Generalizes the perf-gate job to compare against the actual merge target
(${{ github.base_ref }}) rather than hardcoding 'main'.
- Replaces the simple JSON dump in perf-gate with the rustVX perf_gate.py
script, adding:
* geomean-floor 0.97 (3% aggregate regression limit)
* per-kernel floor 0.90 (10% single-kernel regression limit)
* warn floor 0.95 (advisory band)
* max-cv 5.0% noise skip
* up to 3 retry attempts for same-VM jitter
* markdown summary posted to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
- Adds a new informational benchmark-vs-rustvx job that downloads the latest
rustVX release artifact and benchmarks it on the same runner as the
Khronos sample, producing a same-hardware comparison report.
Adds .github/scripts/perf_gate.py (reused from the rustVX project) and
CONFORMANCE.md documenting the full feature matrix, CI job mapping, and
local reproduction instructions.
No existing jobs are removed; this is an additive expansion of the
conformance surface.

- cts-graph-features: remove redundant GraphPipe* glob and allow the job to succeed despite known upstream C-model pipelining failures. - perf-gate: skip noise-sensitive sub-millisecond LaplacianPyramid / LaplacianReconstruct benchmarks that are dominated by timer jitter. - benchmark-vs-rustvx: dynamically locate lib/include directories because download-artifact preserves the artifact's internal path layout. - Use OPENVX_LIBRARIES instead of OPENVX_LIB_DIR when building openvx-mark so the Khronos library names are resolved correctly. - Minor: remove duplicate lcov install step and extra build artifact path; keep lcov directory relative to the job's working directory.

The perf-gate job downloads openvx-release and openvx-release-main produced by upstream build jobs. When a downstream job is re-run days later, those artifacts had already expired (retention-days: 1), causing: Unable to download artifact(s): Artifact not found for name: openvx-release Bump retention to 7 days for all intermediate build artifacts (openvx-debug, openvx-release, openvx-cts, openvx-release-main) so that re-runs of perf-gate, CTS jobs, and benchmark-vs-rustvx can still retrieve their dependencies. This also aligns intermediate artifact retention with the existing 7-day retention used for coverage and benchmark result artifacts.
Verified the PRs filters against the OpenVX CTS test_engine harness. The test names use a dot separator (TESTCASE.TESTNAME), but several filters were using slash separators or wrong case names, so they matched zero tests. This left whole test cases unrun. Fixes: - cts-ix: Graph/ExportImport*:*IX* -> ExtensionObject.* (IX tests live in the ExtensionObject test case.) - cts-user-kernels: drop dead UserKernel.* pattern; keep UserNode.* (There is no UserKernel test case.) - cts-enhanced-vision: remove Graph/Conv*, Graph/HoG*, Graph/Nonmax*, Graph/HoughLinesP*, Graph/Weighted* dead patterns; add GraphEnhanced.* - cts-vision-kernels: add Convolution.* and Histogram.* - cts-data-objects: add vxCreateImageFromChannel.*, vxCopyImagePatch.*, vxMapImagePatch.*, vxCopyRemapPatch.*, vxMapRemapPatch.* - cts-graph-features: add GraphDelayTensor.* - Add new cts-graph-core job for the core Graph test case (graph construction, verification, execution, replication, performance, etc.) After these changes, every compiled CTS test name is matched by a filter: 375 / 381 unique full test names. The only unmatched tests are TensorNetworks.AlexNetTestNetwork (intentionally excluded because ImageNet weights are missing) and the vxBinOp1u/vxuBinOp1u tests (not compiled because OPENVX_USE_U1 is not enabled in the build matrix).
The perf-gate job downloaded openvx-release and openvx-release-main to
pr-build/ and main-build/, then assumed the layout was:
pr-build/Linux/x64/Release/lib
pr-build/include
But the artifacts were uploaded from ${{ env.INSTALL_PREFIX }}/Linux/x64/Release/
where INSTALL_PREFIX=${{ github.workspace }}/install, so the actual downloaded
layout is:
pr-build/install/Linux/x64/Release/lib
pr-build/include
The hard-coded paths failed with:
ls: cannot access .../pr-build/Linux/x64/Release/lib: No such file or directory
Replace the hard-coded paths with find-based discovery (matching the existing
benchmark-vs-rustvx staging logic) so the job works regardless of the install
prefix nesting.
openvx-mark CMakeLists.txt expects the directory to be supplied as
-DOPENVX_LIB_DIR and searches for libopenvx.so / libvxu.so (or
libopenvx_ffi.so) itself. The workflow was passing -DOPENVX_LIBRARIES
with explicit full paths, which CMake ignored, so the project fell back
to the default ROCM_PATH headers at /opt/rocm/include/mivisionx:
-- OpenVX Include: /opt/rocm/include/mivisionx
-- Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
OPENVX_LIBRARIES
That caused:
fatal error: VX/vx.h: No such file or directory
Switch all openvx-mark cmake invocations (perf-gate PR/base and
benchmark-vs-rustvx Khronos/rustVX) to use -DOPENVX_LIB_DIR so the
headers and libraries from the downloaded artifacts are actually used.
The artifact upload for release builds includes both the installed tree ($INSTALL_PREFIX/Linux/x64/Release/...) and the source include/ directory. The installed tree contains VX/vx.h, but the source include/VX/ directory only contains extension/helper headers (vx.h lives in api-docs/include/VX/). Because the staging step used `find ... -type d -name include | head -n1`, it picked the source include/ directory first and passed it to openvx-mark, causing: fatal error: VX/vx.h: No such file or directory Fix the staging steps to locate the lib directory and then derive the include directory as its sibling ($(dirname "$LIB_DIR")/include). This matches the install layout where headers and libraries are co-located under $INSTALL_PREFIX/Linux/x64/Release/. Apply the same fix to all openvx-mark consumers: - Perf gate PR + base-ref staging - benchmark-vs-rustvx Khronos staging Tested locally by building openvx-mark against a local OpenVX install and verifying the correct include/lib paths are selected.
The cts-baseline job downloads pre-built CTS and debug artifacts onto a fresh runner and then runs lcov to collect coverage. The runner image does not include lcov, so the coverage step fails with: lcov: command not found Add an install-dependencies step to cts-baseline that installs lcov.
The cts-baseline job was running `lcov --capture` directly and failing with "lcov: command not found" because lcov is only installed later / not on the test runner. More importantly, coverage collection was embedded in a test job and could fail the baseline smoke tests before the rest of the matrix had a chance to run. Review the ROCm MIVisionX conformance workflow, which handles this correctly: each test job emits raw coverage data (LLVM profraw in their case) and a final `coverage-summary` job merges everything and generates the report after all tests finish. Adopt the same architecture for this GCC coverage workflow: 1. build-debug now also uploads the raw `build/Linux/x64/Debug/` tree so the .gcno files are available to lcov in the final job. 2. Every cts-* test job sets GCOV_PREFIX/GCOV_PREFIX_STRIP before running the instrumented CTS binary, so .gcda files land in a per-job gcov-cts-* directory, and uploads that directory as an artifact. 3. A new `coverage-summary` job depends on build-debug + all cts-* jobs, installs lcov only there, downloads all gcov artifacts, merges the .gcda files back into build/Linux/x64/Debug/, then runs lcov --capture once and uploads the report. This keeps lcov out of the critical test path and only runs coverage reporting after the full conformance matrix has completed.

Copilot reviewed 3 files and raised 10 comments. Key fixes:
1. `perf_gate.py` — removed all rustVX-specific wording. The script is now
generic: docstring, CLI help, markdown headings, hardware table, drift
warning, and skip reasons all refer to configurable "base" and "PR"
labels via new `--main-label` / `--pr-label` arguments. The workflow
passes `${{ github.base_ref }}` and `PR` so the step summary matches
this repository.
2. `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — added `timeout 300` around every
`openvx-mark` invocation inside the perf-gate retry loop, preventing a
hung benchmark from stalling the workflow indefinitely.
3. `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — narrowed the `cts-graph-core` filter to
`Graph.*:-GraphDelay.*:-GraphROI.*:-GraphCallback.*:-GraphPipeline.*:-GraphStreaming.*:-GraphDelayTensor.*`
so it does not re-run the pipelining/streaming suites that are already
handled (and allowed to fail) in `cts-graph-features`.
4. `CONFORMANCE.md` — updated the test matrix to match the actual workflow
filters, added the missing `cts-graph-core` row, corrected the coverage
note to point at `coverage-summary`, and updated future-work item KhronosGroup#3.
