| 4 | The Mesa project began as an open-source implementation of the
|
|---|
| 5 | `OpenGL`_ specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | Over the years the project has grown to implement more graphics APIs,
|
|---|
| 8 | including `OpenGL ES`_, `OpenCL`_, `OpenMAX`_, `VDPAU`_, `VA-API`_,
|
|---|
| 9 | `Vulkan`_ and `EGL`_.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | A variety of device drivers allows the Mesa libraries to be used in many
|
|---|
| 12 | different environments ranging from software emulation to complete
|
|---|
| 13 | hardware acceleration for modern GPUs.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the `Direct Rendering
|
|---|
| 16 | Infrastructure`_, `X.org`_, and `Wayland`_ to provide OpenGL support on
|
|---|
| 17 | Linux, FreeBSD, and other operating systems.
