However, only the very oldest systems would be negatively impacted.
SCHOOL MATE 2 DOES IT WORK WITH VULKAN DRIVERS
Mesa developers are currently discussing the raising of the default compiler baseline for Mesa drivers moving forward, which would raise the base CPU requirements for these open-source Mesa drivers unless overriding the compiler flags. Mesa Considers Raising CPU Support Baseline Mesa Flips On OpenGL Threading For Valheim To Deliver Better Performanceįor those enjoying the Valheim, the new survival/sandbox game that has been an incredible success and sold more than four millions of copies so far while being a low-budget indie game, Mesa should be providing better performance when using its OpenGL renderer.
SCHOOL MATE 2 DOES IT WORK WITH VULKAN DRIVER
Well known open-source AMD Linux graphics driver developer Marek Olšák published an initial proposal this week as "a redesign of how Linux graphics drivers work."

Mike Blumenkrantz working under contract for Valve on the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan implementation continues making remarkable progress on this Mesa code.Īnother NVIDIA Engineer Just Made His First Contribution To MesaĪnother NVIDIA engineer has made his first contribution to Mesa in the rather interesting focus of fixing up Volta so atomic operations will work with OpenCL SVM.ĪMD Proposing Redesign For How Linux GPU Drivers Work - Explicit Fences Everywhere Zink OpenGL-On-Vulkan Now "100%-1000% Faster" For Many Scenarios NVIDIA has proposed a merge request to Mesa that would lay the infrastructure for allowing alternative GBM (Generic Buffer Manager) back-ends to be loaded, such as for NVIDIA's proprietary driver should it presumably implement GBM in the future. NVIDIA Proposes Mesa Patches To Support Alternative GBM Back-Ends In marking the half-way point, the most viewed Mesa news from H1'2021 include: With the half-way point for the year upon us, here is a look back at the most exciting Mesa open-source graphics driver news so far in 2021 with exciting contributions from Microsoft, AMD and Intel continuing to be the most open-source friendly graphics vendors, Zink making remarkable progress for OpenGL over Vulkan, performance optimizations galore, more embedded Vulkan drivers coming about, and other milestones for open-source Linux graphics.
