Google GAPID: Capture Vulkan and OpenGL ES Calls on Android, Windows, macOS and Linux

JeGX — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 09:43:05 +0000

GAPID is a developer tool for recording and inspecting calls made by an application to the graphics driver. GAPID is developed by Google and supports OpenGL ES + Vulkan APIs on Android, Windows, Linux and macOS. Once a capture of a target application has been made, GAPID lets you disconnect from the target and inspect all the graphics commands made by the application. GAPID is … Continue reading Google GAPID: Capture Vulkan and OpenGL ES Calls on Android, Windows, macOS and Linux »

Quick Benchmark of the Raspberry Pi 2 GPU (VideoCore IV)

JeGX — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 16:01:49 +0000

Some users asked me to benchmark the VideoCore IV, the GPU of the Raspberry Pi (RPi 1 and 2). The hard part of this test was to find other level entry GPUs in my lab. I selected a GeForce G 105M (8 CUDA cores!) and an Intel HD Graphics 4600. I also added a GeForce GTX 660 in the test just to have results with … Continue reading Quick Benchmark of the Raspberry Pi 2 GPU (VideoCore IV) »

Programmable Blending on Mobile and Desktop GPUs (OpenGL)

JeGX — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 15:54:51 +0000

In the latest iteration of iOS (iOS 6), APPLE has exposed a new extension in OpenGL ES: GL_APPLE_shader_framebuffer_fetch. Even if it’s limited to mobile platform, this extension is interesting because it brings the programmable blending. On all current OpenGL implementation, blending is configurable (glBlendFunc) but not programmable. In short, GL_APPLE_shader_framebuffer_fetch allows to read, from a pixel shader, the value of the framebuffer. This value can … Continue reading Programmable Blending on Mobile and Desktop GPUs (OpenGL) »

Fabien Sanglard, a canadian coder (I must say I like his website, simple and neat!), has released the source code of an OpenGL ES rendering engine he wrote back in 2009. This engine called dEngine (again a simple choice!) can be seen as a good introduction of OpenGL ES programming for iPhone. The engine is written in pure C. Most of the OpenGL ES and … Continue reading dEngine: OpenGL ES Rendering Engine for iPhone, Source Code Available »
