<H1>Mesa Cell Driver</H1>
<p>
The Mesa
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_%28microprocessor%29" target="_parent">Cell</a>
driver is part of the
<a href="http://www.tungstengraphics.com/wiki/index.php/Gallium3D" target="_parent">Gallium3D</a>
architecture.
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.tungstengraphics.com/" target="_parent">Tungsten Graphics</a>
is leading the project.
Two phases are planned.
First, to implement the framework for parallel rasterization using the Cell
SPEs, including texture mapping.
Second, to implement a full-featured OpenGL driver with support for GLSL, etc.
</p>
<H2>Source Code</H2>
<p>
The Cell driver source code is on the <code>gallium-0.1</code> branch of the
git repository.
To build the driver you'll need the IBM Cell SDK (version 2.1 or 3.0).
To use the driver you'll need a Cell system, such as a PS3 running Linux,
or the Cell Simulator (untested, though).
</p>
<p>
To compile the code, run <code>make linux-cell</code>.
</p>
<p>
To use the library, make sure <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> points the Mesa/lib/
directory that contains <code>libGL.so</code>.
</p>
<p>
Verify that the Cell driver is being used by running <code>glxinfo</code>
and looking for:
<pre>
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.1, Cell on Xlib
</pre>
<H2>Status</H2>
<p>
As of January 2008 the driver supports smooth/flat shaded triangle rendering
with Z testing.
Simple demos like gears run successfully.
Basic texture mapping should be working within a month.
There's still unfinished work in the PPU-to-SPU communication facilities.
</p>
<H2>Contributing</H2>
<p>
If you're interested in contributing to the effort, familiarize yourself
with the code, join the <a href="lists.html">mesa3d-dev mailing list</a>,
and describe what you'd like to do.

<h2>January 24, 2008</h2>
<p>
Added a new page describing the <a href="cell.html">Mesa Cell driver</a>.
</p>
<h2>November 13, 2007</h2>
<p>
Gallium3D is the codename for the new Mesa device driver architecture
which is currently under development.
A <a href="http://www.tungstengraphics.com/wiki/index.php/Gallium3D"
target="_parent"> summary</a> of the architecture can be found on the
Tungsten Graphics website.
</p>
<p>
Gallium3D development is taking place on the <em>gallium-0.1</em> branch
of the git repository.
Currently, there's only a software-only driver and an Intel i915/945 driver
but other drivers will be coming...

<h2>New features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Added a bluegene-osmesa build config
</ul>
<h2>Bug fixes</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fixed some MingW build issues
