\section about About
|
|
|
|
Gallium3D is <a href="http://www.tungstengraphics.com/">Tungsten Graphics</a>'
|
|
new architecture for building 3D graphics drivers. Initially
|
|
supporting Mesa and Linux graphics drivers, Gallium3D is designed to allow
|
|
portability to all major operating systems and graphics interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Compared to existing Linux graphics drivers, Gallium3D will:
|
|
|
|
- Make drivers smaller and simpler.
|
|
Current DRI drivers are rather complicated. They're large, contain
|
|
duplicated code and are burdened with implementing many concepts tightly
|
|
tied to the OpenGL 1.x/2.x API.
|
|
|
|
- Model modern graphics hardware.
|
|
The new driver architecture is an abstraction of modern graphics hardware,
|
|
rather than an OpenGL->hardware translator. The new driver interface will
|
|
assume the presence of programmable vertex/fragment shaders and flexible
|
|
memory objects.
|
|
|
|
- Support multiple graphics APIs.
|
|
The OpenGL 3.0 API will be very different from OpenGL 1.x/2.x. We'd like a
|
|
driver model that is API-neutral so that it's not tied to a specific
|
|
graphics API.

/** \page overview Overview
|
|
|
|
The public interface of a Gallium3D driver is described by the p_context.h
|
|
header file. The pipe_context structure is an abstract base class with
|
|
methods for:
|
|
|
|
- Setting rendering state (texture sampler state, vertex array info, drawing surfaces, etc.)
|
|
|
|
- Setting shader state, using the TGSI binary shader representation.
|
|
|
|
- Vertex array and indexed vertex array drawing.
|
|
|
|
- Region (memory) management for textures, renderbuffers, vertex buffers, etc.
|
|
|
|
- Hardware queries (number of texture units, max texture size, etc).
|
|
|
|
The p_state.h header defines all the state objects (such as polygon
|
|
rasterization options, blend modes, etc) and resources (drawing surfaces,
|
|
textures, memory buffers). The pipe interface uses "constant state" objects.
|
|
That is, state objects are created once and are immutable. State objects are
|
|
put into effect by binding them. This allows Gallium3D drivers to create
|
|
corresponding hardware state objects which can be quickly handled.
|
|
|
|
The p_defines.h header defines numerous constants and tokens (blend modes,
|
|
texture wrap modes, surface formats, etc.
|
|
|
|
The p_winsys.h header defines the window system and OS facilities which
|
|
Gallium3D drivers rely upon. For example, memory allocation is typically a
|
|
service the OS provides while window size/position information is provided by
|
|
the window system. Pipe drivers use the winsys interface to handle these
|
|
things.
|
|
|
|
By abstracting OS and window system services, pipe drivers are portable to
|
|
other platforms (e.g. embedded devices).

/** \page statetracker The State Tracker
|
|
|
|
The state tracker is the piece which interfaces core Mesa to the Gallium3D
|
|
interface. It's responsible for translating Mesa state (blend modes, texture
|
|
state, etc) and drawing commands (like glDrawArrays and glDrawPixels) into
|
|
pipe objects and operations.
|
|
|
|
Traditional fixed-function OpenGL components (such as lighting and texture
|
|
combining) are implemented with shaders. OpenGL commands such as glDrawPixels
|
|
are translated into textured quadrilateral rendering. Basically, any
|
|
rendering operation that isn't directly supported by modern graphics hardware
|
|
is translated into a hardware-friendly form.
|
|
|
|
Future state trackers will be created for OpenGL 3.0 and OpenGL-ES 2.x.
|
|

|
/** \page softpipe Softpipe Driver
|
|
|
|
The softpipe driver is a software implementation of the Gallium3D interface.
|
|
It will be used as a reference implementation and as a fallback driver when a
|
|
hardware driver isn't available. The softpipe driver will make extensive use
|
|
of run-time code generation to efficiently execute vertex, fragment and
|
|
rasterization operations.

/** \page i915g i915 Driver
|
|
|
|
The i915 Gallium3D Driver is an initial hardware driver implementation within
|
|
the Gallium3D driver architecture. We expect that once complete this driver
|
|
will have equivalent functionality and performance to the current Mesa
|
|
i915tex driver, but from a much smaller codebase.
|
|
|
|
\sa i915_context.h
|
|
\sa i915_winsys.h

|
*/
|
|
|
|
/** \page draw Draw Module
|
|
The Draw module provides point/line/polygon rendering services such as
|
|
vertex transformation, polygon culling and clipping. It will be used by
|
|
drivers for hardware which lacks vertex transformation (such as the
|
|
i915/i945). It may also be instantiated and used directly by the state
|
|
tracker to implement some API functionality that doesn't map well to hardware
|
|
capabilities.
|
|
|
|
The interface of this module corresponds closely to the subset of the Gallium
|
|
Driver Interface which is relevent to these steps in the pipeline. Specifically
|
|
there are calls for:
|
|
|
|
- Vertex shader constant state objects
|
|
- Vertex buffer binding
|
|
- Vertex element layout (vertex fetch) constant state objects
|
|
- DrawArrays and DrawElements
|
|
- Rasterizer constant state objects.
|
|
|
|
The Draw module is effectively the part of \ref softpipe which is concerned with
|
|
vertex processing, split off into a separate module so that it can be reused
|
|
by drivers for rasterization-only hardware. As such it is also instantiated
|
|
by the \ref i915g driver.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, there are cases in the Mesa OpenGL state_tracker where it is
|
|
required to obtain transformed vertices and yet it is anticipated that using
|
|
hardware transformation even if available would reduce performance, usually
|
|
because the setup costs or latency are prohibitive. For this reason the Mesa
|
|
state_tracker also instantiates a copy of this module.

/** \page tgsi TGSI
|
|
|
|
The TGSI module provides a universal representation of shaders and
|
|
CPU-based execution of shaders. All Mesa vertex/fragment programs and shaders
|
|
are translated into the TGSI representation before being passed to the
|
|
driver. In turn, the driver will convert the TGSI instructions into
|
|
GPU-specific instructions. For hardware that lacks vertex or fragment shader
|
|
support, the TGSI's executor can be used. The TGSI executor includes support
|
|
for SSE code generation. Support for other processors (such as Cell) will be
|
|
added in the future.
