Velikov: Pushing pixels to your Chromebook

([Development] Sep 1, 2020 17:00 UTC (Tue) (ris))


Emil Velikov [1]provides a high-level introduction of the Linux graphics stack, how it is used within ChromeOS, and the work being done to improve software rendering. " One of our goals is to be as flexible as possible, while minimising the amount of legacy code required - so in our case we're using OpenGL/GLES and EGL. In particular we are making use of the [2]EGL_MESA_platform_surfaceless extension. It allows us to use OpenGL or GLES and render into a memory area, not requiring integration with the display subsystem. "
