[Chromium-dev] more on SPU options / parameters

[Brian P. <br...@tu...>]

Keith,

In addition to the SPU options, I need a few other bits of information
about SPUs:

1. Does the SPU have a packer?  (ex: tilesort, pack)

2. If the SPU is a packer, how many servers can it connect to?
   The pack SPU can only connect to one server while the tilesort SPU
   can connect to N servers.

3. Is the SPU a terminal SPU?  I.e. can another SPU chain after it?
   All packing SPUs are terminal SPUs.  The render SPU is a terminal
   SPU.  The hiddenline, print, and readback SPUs are non-terminal.

It should be simple to query this info via the SPU utility program
you're writing.
