Google Continues Working On "Magma" For Mesa Cross-Platform System Call Interface
Mesa 25.2 entered its feature freeze yesterday with many exciting driver improvements with new features and performance optimizations while one feature that wasn't ready for merging in this quarter's release is Magma, which is a recent effort by Google engineers working on a cross-platform system call interface for Mesa
Google engineers have been developing it with an eye on Chrome OS use and for possible future use as well with their Fuchsia operating system effort. This cross-platform GPU system call library would interface across Linux DRM, Windows WDDM, Fuchsia, and potentially other platforms too. Magma is written in the Rust programming language and among the early goals are using it for para-virtualization use-cases with Linux and Fuchsia.
