Example: Run an OpenGL (ES) compute shader on a DRM render-node
It has been a long time indeed since my last entry here. But I have actually been quite busy on a new adventure: graphics driver development. Two years ago I started contributing to Mesa, mostly to the Intel i965 backend, as a member of the Igalia...
Introducing the meta-webkit Yocto layer.
Lately I have been learning to use Yocto / OpenEmbedded to create custom distributions and products targeting different embedded hardware. One of the goals was to create a Kiosk-like browser that was based on a modern Web engine, light (specially...
Multicore architectures and CPU affinity
One of the first attempts by Intel to parallelize processing was hyper-threading, a technology that debuted in Xeon in 2002 and later that year in Pentium 4. A single CPU with hyper-threading appears as two logical CPUs to the Operating System....
Multicore architectures and CPU affinity
Lately I have working in Snabb Switch as part of the networking team we have in Igalia. Snabb Switch is a kernel by-pass software switch that talks directly to 10-Gbps network cards. This allows Snabb Switch to manipulate packets are at speed rate the...
