Complete information on joining the Khronos Group is available online. Fast-paced work on detailed proposals and designs are already underway, and any company interested to participate is strongly encouraged to join Khronos for a voice and a vote in the development process. Key directions for the new ground-up design include explicit application control over GPU and CPU workloads for performance and predictability, a multithreading-friendly API with greatly reduced overhead, a common shader program intermediate language, and a strengthened ecosystem focus that includes rigorous conformance testing. Khronos announced a call for participation today in a project to define a future open standard for high-efficiency access to graphics and compute on modern GPUs. In reality they are just calling to participation for it ( huum AMD maybe lol ). i dont think it is even on alpha build outside testing build for some developpers. It' a great way to deal with MS and the behemoth they are, make the transition painless or at least as painless as possible.Īctually, it is OpenGL NG and it is the next generation of OpenGL ( not the 4.5). At least "DX11 emulation features" for importing might help that cause. And I hope so much that I am wrong about that.
Opengl 4.4 sdk windows#
I still think high adoption for OpenGL from the large names on Windows is a pipe dream, but at least they are trying.
Opengl 4.4 sdk drivers#
Also props to NVidia for making drivers that support 4.5 so fast, hell they came out before this news post. Pretty impressive that they can release anything that resembles Mantel before Mantel is out of beta and goes to other GPU's (which let's face it, will not happen, so I guess it's not THAT impressive) and DX12. AMD is supporting the 3D interface with its ATI Catalyst OpenGL 4.0 preview driver, which.

New functionality in the core OpenGL 4.5 specification includes: Khronos has an uphill struggle ahead, though: While AMD and Microsoft are focusing on their own specific implementations, OpenGL NG will be a cross-platform solution for all operating systems and hardware makers, just like the existing OpenGL specs. The idea, much like AMD's Mantle and DirectX 12, is to build an entirely new version of OpenGL that removes a lot of the abstraction, significantly reducing the overhead and inefficiencies when working at a low level with the bare metal GPU hardware. Next Generation OpenGL ( OpenGL NG), however, is a complete rebuild of the OpenGL API.
OpenGL 4.5, except for some new Direct3D 11 emulation features for easier porting, is your fairly standard annual OpenGL update. At Siggraph 2014, the Khronos Group has announced both OpenGL 4.5 and, more excitingly, the Next Generation OpenGL Initiative.
