IOMMU hardware-based GPU isolation support, increasing security by restricting GPU access to system memory. GPU paravirtualization support, enabling display drivers to provide rendering capabilities to Hyper-V virtualized environments. Brightness, a new interface to support multiple displays that can be set to calibrated nit-based brightness ...
Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP) [1] is a software rasterizer and a component of DirectX graphics runtime in Windows 7 and later. It is available for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 through platform update for Windows Vista.
The BYTE magazine, in December 1983, discussed Microsoft's plans for a system to output graphics to both printers and monitors with the same code in the forthcoming first release of Windows. [2] On Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, GDI can use Bit blit features for 2D acceleration, if suitable graphics card driver is installed. [3]
A classic motherboard with on-board integrated graphics processors, a discrete graphics card can be installed at a PCI slot. GPU switching is a mechanism used on computers with multiple graphic controllers. This mechanism allows the user to either maximize the graphic performance or prolong battery life by switching between the graphic cards.
MSX BASIC version 3.0. MSX BASIC came bundled in the ROM of all MSX computers. At system start-up MSX BASIC is invoked, causing its command prompt to be displayed, unless other software placed in ROM takes control (which is the typical case of game cartridges and disk interfaces, the latter causing the MSX-DOS prompt to be shown if there is a disk present which contains the DOS system files).
Microsoft BASIC is the foundation software product of the Microsoft company and evolved into a line of BASIC interpreters and compiler(s) adapted for many different microcomputers. It first appeared in 1975 as Altair BASIC , which was the first version of BASIC published by Microsoft as well as the first high-level programming language ...
Microsoft manages a subscription service called Game Pass, which offers access to games from Xbox and other developers for a fee. The Redmond, Washington-based company has tried to build out the ...
The Videocore GPU runs an RTOS which handles the processing; video acceleration is done with RTOS firmware coded for its proprietary GPU, and the firmware was not open-sourced on that date. [92] Since there was neither a toolchain targeting the proprietary GPU nor a documented instruction set , no advantage could be taken if the firmware source ...
