OpenGL (Open Graphics Library [4]) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics.The API is typically used to interact with a graphics processing unit (GPU), to achieve hardware-accelerated rendering.
In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple introduced Quartz 2D Extreme, enabling Quartz 2D to offload rendering to compatible GPUs. However, GPU rendering was not enabled by default due to potential video redraw issues or kernel panics. [4] In Mac OS X v10.5 Quartz 2D Extreme was renamed to QuartzGL. The Quartz Compositor is the compositing engine used by ...
OpenGL 4.6 with spir-V and Vulkan 1.1.80 are in WIP. The soft Driver for virtual machines VIRGL is ready for OpenGL 4.3 and OpenGL ES 3.2. RadeonSI is also ready for OpenGL ES 3.2. ASTC Texture Compression Support and Compatibility Modus Support for OpenGL 4.4 (3.1 in 18.1) are other highlights in RadeonSI for AMD GCN Cards.
Originally introduced as an extension to OpenGL 1.4, GLSL was formally included into the OpenGL 2.0 core in 2004 by the OpenGL ARB. It was the first major revision to OpenGL since the creation of OpenGL 1.0 in 1992. Some benefits of using GLSL are: Cross-platform compatibility on multiple operating systems, including Linux, macOS and Windows.
OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES or GLES) is a subset of the OpenGL computer graphics rendering application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics such as those used by video games, typically hardware-accelerated using a graphics processing unit (GPU). It is designed for embedded systems like smartphones ...
With the release of Mac OS X 10.2, marketing attention focused on Quartz Extreme, the composition layer, leaving the term "Quartz" to refer to the Core Graphics framework or just its 2D renderer. Presently, Quartz technologies can describe all of the rendering and compositing technologies introduced by macOS (including Core Image for example).
Mac OS X 10.1 (code named Puma) is the second major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system.It superseded Mac OS X 10.0 and preceded Mac OS X Jaguar.Mac OS X 10.1 was released on September 25, 2001, as a free update for Mac OS X 10.0 users.
Features in version 3.0.0: [10] OpenGL ES 1.1, and OpenGL ES 2.0 support; OpenGL 3.x and 4.x support along with associated OpenGL extensions; Support for Android on tablets and phones; Support for IOS on tablets and phones (end users applications have already been accepted on the App Store)
