Introduction
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Mesa project began as an open-source implementation of the
|
||
|
|
`OpenGL`_ specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Over the years the project has grown to implement more graphics APIs,
|
||
|
|
including `OpenGL ES`_, `OpenCL`_, `OpenMAX`_, `VDPAU`_, `VA-API`_,
|
||
|
|
`XvMC`_, `Vulkan`_ and `EGL`_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A variety of device drivers allows the Mesa libraries to be used in many
|
||
|
|
different environments ranging from software emulation to complete
|
||
|
|
hardware acceleration for modern GPUs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the `Direct Rendering
|
||
|
|
Infrastructure`_, `X.org`_, and `Wayland`_ to provide OpenGL support on
|
||
|
|
Linux, FreeBSD, and other operating systems.
