Gallium3D Update, 2D Support Coming?
During FOSDEM this year, Keith Whitwell had provided a status update on Gallium3D and where they were at as of February. However, a lot has changed since then. Today at XDS 2008, Keith has provided a new status update of where they are at with this new driver infrastructure. Below are our notes from this talk as well as the following talk delivered by Tungsten's Jakob Bornecrantz.
Gallium3D:
- Recapping known features: New 3D driver environment, a lot simpler to work with than Mesa/DRI, multiple API support for free, taking away the nasty stuff within DRI drivers, easy to adopt for new environments, and strong interfaces.
- Core support for Gallium is essentially done for OpenGL and DirectX 9
- Additional APIs for Gallium 3D is on the way, but Tungsten Graphics doesn't want to comment on which ones at this time.
- GL support and sample drivers in Mesa gallium-0.1-branch.

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. |
