Mesa Cell Driver

+ +

+The Mesa +Cell +driver is part of the +Gallium3D +architecture. +

+ +

+Tungsten Graphics +is leading the project. +Two phases are planned. +First, to implement the framework for parallel rasterization using the Cell +SPEs, including texture mapping. +Second, to implement a full-featured OpenGL driver with support for GLSL, etc. +

+ + +

Source Code

+ +

+The Cell driver source code is on the gallium-0.1 branch of the +git repository. +To build the driver you'll need the IBM Cell SDK (version 2.1 or 3.0). +To use the driver you'll need a Cell system, such as a PS3 running Linux, +or the Cell Simulator (untested, though). +

+ +

+To compile the code, run make linux-cell. +

+ +

+To use the library, make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH points the Mesa/lib/ +directory that contains libGL.so. +

+ +

+Verify that the Cell driver is being used by running glxinfo +and looking for: +

+  OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.1, Cell on Xlib
+
+ + +

Status

+ +

+As of January 2008 the driver supports smooth/flat shaded triangle rendering +with Z testing. +Simple demos like gears run successfully. +Basic texture mapping should be working within a month. +There's still unfinished work in the PPU-to-SPU communication facilities. +

+ + +

Contributing

+ +

+If you're interested in contributing to the effort, familiarize yourself +with the code, join the mesa3d-dev mailing list, +and describe what you'd like to do. +

    +Gallium3D is the codename for the new Mesa device driver architecture +which is currently under development. +A summary of the architecture can be found on the +Tungsten Graphics website. +

    +

    +Gallium3D development is taking place on the gallium-0.1 branch +of the git repository. +Currently, there's only a software-only driver and an Intel i915/945 driver +but other drivers will be coming... +
