Gallium3D Graphics Architecture
Tungsten Graphics has a broad experience with a wide range of programmable graphics engines coupled with deep experience in building just in-time (JIT) complier stacks to support graphics shader languages.
Following the lead of other well established compiler technologies, we have developed TG Gallium3D, a hardware- and API- neutral intermediate format that will allow Tungsten Graphics to efficiently build frontends to support a variety of modern 3D API and support them on a variety of hardware platforms.
TG Gallium3D allows for re-using portions of the driver stack enabling reduction in development time to market and also increasing product reliability. The portions of the driver stack that are re-used have previously been tested and implemented into other graphics driver solutions. The new driver model also enables operating system portability. Hence the overall effect of utilizing TG Gallium3D is the increase in profit margins through the reduction of development costs.
