unreferenced date September 2009 OpenGL Performer , formerly known as IRIS Performer and commonly referred to simply as Performer , is a commercial library of utility code built on top of OpenGL for the purpose of enabling Real time computing hard real time visual simulation applications. OpenGL Performer was developed by Silicon Graphics SGI which continues to maintain and enhance it. OpenGL Performer is available for IRIX , Linux , and several versions of Microsoft Windows . Both ANSI C and C bindings are available. History Performer came about in 1991 when a group from SGI s Open Inventor project, then known as IRIS Inventor, decided to focus on performance rather than ease of programmability. Whereas Inventor delivered easy to use objects and various UI elements to interact with them, Performer focused on a scene graph system that could be re arranged on the fly for performance reasons, allowing the various passes of a rendering task to be performed in parallel in multiple thread computer science threads . Performer allowed the scene to describe levels of detail with hysteresis bands and fade capabilities. Frame rate and statistics were monitored and a stress factor was calculated. This could be used to further weight the level of detail in the scene eliminating detail to maintain a target frame rate. Other key features of Performer were the use of symmetric multi processing capabilities, support multiple graphics pipes and the ability to utilize the scalable resources of high ...

The OpenGL Utility Library GLU is a computer graphics library . It consists of a number of functions that use the base OpenGL library to provide higher level drawing routines from the more primitive routines that OpenGL provides. It is usually distributed with the base OpenGL package. Among these features are mapping between screen and world coordinates, generation of Texture mapping texture mipmap s, drawing of quadric surfaces, Nonuniform rational B spline NURBS , tessellation of polygonal primitives, interpretation of OpenGL error codes, an extended range of transformation routines for setting up viewing volumes and simple positioning of the camera, generally in more human friendly terms than the routines presented by OpenGL. It also provides additional primitives for use in OpenGL applications, including sphere s, cylinder geometry cylinder s and Disk mathematics disks . GLU functions can be easily recognized by looking at them because they all have code glu code as a prefix. An example function is code gluOrtho2D code which defines a two dimensional orthographic projection matrix.

It is window and operating system independent, relying on GLUT to handle all system dependent issues, such as window and mouse management. It lacks the features of a more full fledged GUI toolkit such as Qt toolkit Qt , wxWidgets , or FLTK , but it has a very small footprint and is extremely easy to use. A research or demonstration program that originally only uses GLUT can be given a useful control panel using GLUI in a short time, even by someone new to the toolkit. It was first written by Paul Rademacher to help him with his academic work. It is now maintained by Nigel Stewart . Weaknesses include the lack of a properly functioning file chooser perhaps the most frustrating omission and mediocre responsiveness.

About an OpenGL implementation other uses Chromium disambiguation confusing date July 2011 Chromium is an OpenGL implementation. Unlike other OpenGL implementations, Chromium does not render the OpenGL command stream to a raster image in order to display on screen. Instead, it manipulates, and moves the OpenGL command stream to other OpenGL implementations including even other Chromium implementations . Chromium provides an infrastructure in which modules, known as SPUs or Stream Processing Units, can be inserted. For each OpenGL command, a SPU can modify, discard, or forward it to the next SPU. Chromium supports a client server architecture. The last SPU in a node can choose to either pass it to another local OpenGL implementation, such as an ATI or nVidia graphics card, or send it over a network to one or more Chromium Servers. Uses include Providing OpenGL for multimachine, multimonitor displays. Chromium can be used to provide OpenGL for Xdmx displays. Moving an OpenGL stream from one machine to another. For example, an OpenGL application running in a Windows virtual machine , without 3D acceleration, can make use of full hardware 3D acceleration on a Linux host machine via the use of Chromium. Manipulating an OpenGL stream. Chromium can be used to make polygons an application renders transparent. Via stream manipulation, Chromium can make non stereoscopic applications stereoscopic. High performance, sort last configurations. Chromium can be used to split an OpenGL command stream, so that different machines can do different parts of the rendering work. This is like nVidia s Scalable Link Interface SLI but it supports multiple machines.

Unreferenced date December 2009 The term MiniGL was applied to a wide range of incomplete OpenGL implementations provided by graphics card hardware companies including 3dfx , PowerVR and Rendition company Rendition in the late 1990s. They owe their genesis to the computer game Quake video game Quake . In 1996 id Software announced that the Rendition V rit was to be the only hardware 3D accelerator targeted by Quake . Partly because of the perceived hassle in supporting chipset specific application programming interface API s and partly because Quake s development heritage on high end workstations made such a thing easy. They also released a Microsoft Windows port of their OpenGL version of Quake , even though no consumer chipset had OpenGL support at the time. In response, 3dfx developed and quickly released the first MiniGL &mdash a quick implementation of the bare minimum amount of the OpenGL API that was required to run the OpenGL version of Quake . By obtaining a copy of the OpenGL Quake executable and a copy of the relevant MiniGL, 3dfx owners could easily modify their copies of Quake to play with full 3D acceleration, giving a smoother and better looking display than was possible with the Quake software renderer. After the success of the 3dfx original, several other manufacturers followed 3dfx in producing MiniGL drivers. At the time, the OpenGL API was almost universally agreed to be superior to the then new and immature Direct3D system from Microsoft , so following the arrival of the various MiniGLs, many programmers sought to use them in other programs as an easy way ... of OpenGL calls and parameters used by Quake and none of the MiniGL implementors had released lists ... use of OpenGL features by programmers and new releases of MiniGLs with slightly more functionality every ... now support complete OpenGL implementations, negating the need for any sort of MiniGL.
