Thanks to continued work from TransGaming, in collaboration with Google engineers and other contributors, ANGLE has reached an important milestone: It now passes the rigorous OpenGL ES 2.0 test suite and ANGLE version 1.0 has been certified as a compliant GL ES 2.0 implementation. At the time it was announced, ANGLE only supported a subset of the OpenGL ES 2.0 API. Continue reading on Collabora’s blog.In March of last year we introduced ANGLE as the engine that would power Chrome's GPU rendering on Windows.

The host OpenGL stack does not even have to be Mesa, and could for example be the proprietary nvidia stack. QEMU then receives the raw graphics stack state (Gallium state) and interprets it using virglrenderer from the raw state into an OpenGL form, which can be executed as entirely normal OpenGL on the host machine. But instead of Mesa handing commands over to the hardware it is channeled through virtio-gpu on the guest to QEMU on the host. They way it works is by letting the guest applications speak unmodified OpenGL to the Mesa. There are a few parts to this implementation. This stack is commonly referred to as Virgil3D, since all of the parts originated from a project with that name. That is is the motivation for making Virgil3D work on OpenGL ES hosts. OpenGL ES 2.0 is the lowest common denominator for many mobile platforms and as such is a requirement for Virgil3D to be viable on the those platforms. OpenGL ES implementationĬurrently Collabora and Google are implementing OpenGL ES 2.0 support. This provides some new challenges in terms of supporting the accelerated graphics usecase. In order to further improve security containers are commonly run in virtualized environments.

It both improves portability and strengthens security, and if done properly the performance penalty can be low. Having processes containerized is beneficial in a number of ways.

Let’s have a look at why and how.īy Robert Foss, Senior Software Engineer at Collabora.įor the past few years a clear trend of containerization of applications and services has emerged. Virtualized GPU access is becoming common in the containerized and virtualized application space.
