Is this GPGPU only, or does it also support GLES or OpenGL?

- jdmoreira 11y agoI guess you could implement GLES on top of it. They implemented a renderer for quake maps... https://github.com/jbush001/NyuziProcessor/tree/master/software/apps/quakeview https://github.com/jbush001/NyuziProcessor/tree/master/softw...
- vvanders 11y agoLooks like it runs at about 1 FPS on a 50Mhz core(with screenshots): http://latchup.blogspot.com/2015/06/not-so-fast.html http://latchup.blogspot.com/2015/06/not-so-fast.html Still crazy awesome, that's a ton of work.
- makomk 11y agoWell, you can apparently do 3D rendering but it's kind of slow based on the latest information I can find: http://latchup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/not-so-fast.html http://latchup.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/not-so-fast.html They are (or were) spending a huge amount of instructions on stuff that'd have dedicated hardware/instruction set support on a proper GPU. Normally rasterization and texture sampling runs in dedicated hardware, colour packing/unpacking is integrated into the memory access instructions (at least on Radeon), etc. Stuff that'd be one or two instructions on a commercial GPU instead took dozens or hundreds.
- jeffbush 11y ago(author here) Yeah. One area I'd like to investigate is adding specialized instructions. The existing renderer is not highly optimized.
