Marek Lands 40 Patch Series To Further Enhance The Open-Source AMD Graphics Driver
Well known open-source AMD OpenGL/Gallium3D driver developer Marek Olšák has landed a big patch series into Mesa 24.2 for a universal optimized compute image clear/blit shader and MSAA-resolving pixel shader.
The rework adds nearly two thousand lines of new code to Mesa ahead of the v24.2 stable release due out in August. This latest AMD code is in Mesa 24.2 which will be branched from mainline Git in July and begin its dance towards release in August alongside a large number of driver changes not only for the AMD Radeon stack but also the NVK NVIDIA Vulkan driver, the Intel OpenGL and Vulkan drivers, and the various other smaller drivers.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
