Re: [Chromium-dev] OpenGL-ES

[<ta...@su...>]

Mike,

an example of an embedded device using Chromium is provided in a paper from =

Lamberti et al "An accelerated remote graphics architecture for PDAs" which =

you may find interesting. They used a Chromium cluster and a PDA as the=20
visualisation client using 802.11b for communication. Basically the problem =

with integration of Chromium to mobile clients is as you say a compilation=20
issue and getting all the right tools together but a solid OpenGL port is=20
also essential since there aren't that many OpenGL implementations out=20
there for mobile clients.

Another issue to consider is the fact that both NVidia and ATI are=20
producing mobile 3D cores which we'll probably see in the market soon=20
enough hence bringing Chromium to mobile platforms can potentially provide=20
advanced graphics features using custom made SPUs that address=20
performance/image quality needs of a mobile client. Usage of Chromium for=20
embedded devices and not just mobile devices (e.g set-top boxes, games=20
consoles) can potentially have quite an impact in the way 3D graphics is=20
addressed for these platforms in my opinion.

Anthony


using OpenGL ES for thin clients such as mobile phones and PDAs does have=20
its merits. Lamerti et al. in their paper on
