   2 ============
   3
   4 Along with the interface definitions, the following drivers, state trackers,
   5 and auxiliary modules are shipped in the standard Gallium distribution.

  88 Auxiliary
  89 ---------
  90
  91 OS
  92 ^^
  93
  94 The OS module contains the abstractions for basic operating system services:
  95
  96 * memory allocation
  97 * simple message logging
  98 * obtaining run-time configuration option
  99 * threading primitives
 100
 101 This is the bare minimum required to port Gallium to a new platform.
 102
 103 The OS module already provides the implementations of these abstractions for
 104 the most common platforms.  When targeting an embedded platform no
 105 implementation will be provided -- these must be provided separately.
 106
 107 CSO Cache
 108 ^^^^^^^^^
 109
 110 The CSO cache is used to accelerate preparation of state by saving
 111 driver-specific state structures for later use.
 112
 113 .. _draw:
 114
 115 Draw
 116 ^^^^
 117
 118 Draw is a software :term:`TCL` pipeline for hardware that lacks vertex shaders
 119 or other essential parts of pre-rasterization vertex preparation.
 120
 121 Gallivm
 122 ^^^^^^^
 123
 124 Indices
 125 ^^^^^^^
 126
 127 Indices provides tools for translating or generating element indices for
 128 use with element-based rendering.
 129
 130 Pipe Buffer Managers
 131 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 132
 133 Each of these managers provides various services to drivers that are not
 134 fully utilizing a memory manager.
 135
 136 Remote Debugger
 137 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 138
 139 Runtime Assembly Emission
 140 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 141
 142 TGSI
 143 ^^^^
 144
 145 The TGSI auxiliary module provides basic utilities for manipulating TGSI
 146 streams.
 147
 148 Translate
 149 ^^^^^^^^^
 150
 151 Util
 152 ^^^^
