CoreAVI Achieves Formal Khronos OpenGL SC 1.0.1 Compliance Running its VkCoreGL SC1 Library
Core Avionics & Industrial Inc. (“CoreAVI”) announced today that it has achieved formal Khronos Group compliance for its VkCoreGL™ SC1 (OpenGL SC 1.0.1) application library running on its Vulkan-based VkCore™ SC graphics and compute driver. Successful passing Khronos’ conformance testing process ensures implementation quality and provides implementor protection via the Khronos Intellectual Property Framework.Adhering to open software standards is a key part of CoreAVI’s philosophy and this compliance provides customers with the standards-based confidence they require for safety critical software products. CoreAVI is the chair of Khronos’ Vulkan Safety Critical Working Group to define a formal safety critical version of Vulkan and is continually focused on driving forward new standards to support true safety critical compute capabilities using graphics processors.

CoreAVI VkCoreGL SC1 Hits Compliance For Ushering Vulkan Into Safety Critical Systems
Vulkan could soon be used indirectly on safety critical military and aerospace displays thanks to CoreAVI's VkCoreGL SC1.
While there is a Vulkan safety-critical working group with aims similar to OpenGL SC, at the moment there is no released Vulkan SC specification. But Military and aerospace supplier CoreAVI (who is also involved in the Vulkan SC effort) has developed VkCoreGL SC1 as an OpenGL SC library running on top of Vulkan.
VkCoreGL SC1 is for transitioning OpenGL safety critical applications onto Vulkan-based systems. VkCoreGL SC1 is similar to Mesa's Zink and the other projects implementing OpenGL over Vulkan but with CoreAVI's commercial offering they are implementing the OpenGL safety critical specification. As of today, they are now formally deemed in compliance with OpenGL SC 1.0.1.

xorg-server 1.20.7
A variety of bugfixes, primarily in modesetting, glamor, and Solaris support. This release also contains support for choosing the DRI driver via EGL_MESA_query_driver. Thanks to all who contributed with testing and fixes! Aaron Plattner (1): modesetting: Check whether RandR was initialized before calling rrGetScrPriv Alan Coopersmith (5): os-support/solaris: Drop ExtendedEnabled global variable Add ddxInputThread call from os layer into ddx layer Add xf86OSInputThreadInit call from common layer into os-support layer os-support/solaris: Set IOPL for input thread too ospoll: Fix Solaris ports implementation to build on Solaris 11.4 Kenneth Graunke (2): glamor: Add a function to get the driver name via EGL_MESA_query_driver modesetting: Use EGL_MESA_query_driver to select DRI driver if possible Matt Turner (1): xserver 1.20.7 Michel Dänzer (5): modesetting: Call glamor_finish from drmmode_crtc_set_mode xfree86/modes: Call xf86RotateRedisplay from xf86CrtcRotate modesetting: Clear new screen pixmap storage on RandR resize xwayland: Do flush GPU work in xwl_present_flush glamor: Only use dual blending with GLSL >= 1.30 Peter Hutterer (1): Xi: return AlreadyGrabbed for key grabs > 255 git tag: xorg-server-1.20.7

X.Org Server 1.20.7 Released With A Handful Of Fixes For GLAMOR + Modesetting
With no sign of X.Org Server 1.21 on the horizon, the X.Org Server 1.20 point releases continue rolling on.
Intel Linux graphics developer Matt Turner stepped up to release X.Org Server 1.20.7 as the latest point release, consisting of fourteen changes. The changes are mostly centered on the GLAMOR and xf86-video-modesetting driver bits but also some Solaris updates via Oracle's Alan Coopersmith.
NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner added a check to the xf86-video-modesetting DDX around verifying RandR initialization, Intel's Kenneth Graunke now has the modesetting driver using EGL_MESA_query_driver to select the DRI driver if possible (needed for their Iris driver), and a few other modesetting fixes are in there too. Graunke also added a change to GLAMOR for querying the driver name as well via EGL_MESA_query_driver, again, good news for their Iris Gallium3D driver.

Wayland Adds Meson Build System Support
While Wayland's Weston reference compositor has been using the Meson build system for about the past year, only this week did Wayland itself see Meson support introduced.
Wayland has added Meson build system support for the same reasons most projects do: faster build times, cleaner than GNU Autotools, and tends to work better on other platforms especially with Windows.
GNOME's Emmanuele Bassi added the support. For now the Meson build system support is living alongside the Autotools support. The plan is to drop Autotools once the Meson support has proven to be at least on-par with the existing build system support.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
