As + we all know, the state of openness of specifications of commonly used + ARM 3D GPUs is at best dire. What has been proposed is a bit radical, + but it doesn't actually seem that implausible. Specifically, combining + Open Graphics Project (<A HREF="http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php">http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php</A>) and + the xilinx zynq-7000 or similar (dual core Cortex A9 + FPGA). The idea + is to have an OGP GPU in firmware in FPGA. In terms of the power budget, + it seems to work relatively sanely considering what it is, and it is as + ideal as it gets as far as openness and flexibility goes. + + I just thought it's worthy of a mention. + + Gordan +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="007578.html">[Mageia-dev] ARM summit at Plumbers 2011 +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="007580.html">[Mageia-dev] ARM 3D support was Re: [fedora-arm] ARM summit at Plumbers 2011 +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#7579">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#7579">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#7579">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#7579">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
