Topic: Hardware acceleration

	Hardware acceleration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, hardware acceleration is the use of hardware to perform some function faster than is possible in software running on the normal (general purpose) CPU.
		Examples of hardware acceleration include blitting acceleration functionality in graphics processing units (GPUs) and instructions for complex operations in CPUs.
		The hardware that performs the acceleration, when in a separate unit from the CPU, is referred to as a hardware accelerator, or often more specifically as graphics accelerator or floating-point accelerator, etc. Those terms, however, are outdated and have been replaced with more descriptive terms like video card or graphics card.

		ACCELERATION [acceleration] change in the velocity of a body with respect to time.
		The exact nature of the acceleration produced depends on the relative directions of the original velocity and the force.
		An example of such an accelerating force is the gravitational force exerted by a planet on a satellite moving in a circular orbit.

	Xgl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It takes advantage of modern graphics cards via their OpenGL drivers, supporting hardware acceleration of all X, OpenGL and XVideo applications and graphical effects by a compositing window manager such as Compiz.
		As of May 2006, the Xgl X Server (and related components including the Compiz compositing manager and associated graphical config tools) ships as a non-default in one major Linux distribution, SuSE 10.1, and is included in Frugalware Linux.
		Like Xgl, Quartz 2D Extreme brings OpenGL acceleration to all 2D drawing operations (not just desktop compositing) and ships with Mac OS X v10.4, but is disabled by default pending a formal declaration of production-readiness.

		While I haven't had a chance to look further into their XML Hardware Accelerator the mere fact that Rich Salz is involved suggests that its going to be a pretty kick-butt product.
		As Rich mentioned in his comment hardware acceleration is a pretty hot ticket at the moment, and for good reason.
		He was good enough to give me pointers to the DataPower XML hardware accelerator either the same day or the day after my post regarding the missing benchmark on Sarvega's site.

	Hardware Acceleration
		The graphics devices must be shared in an effective manner and the influence of graphic operations within one window on others should be minimal.
		The transform processor block is implemented with parallel floating point processors and is the core of the accelerated graphics system.
		With this feature large amount of pixel data can be moved to and from system memory for screen redraw, save/restore operations, which occur quickly with acceleration, reducing the need for optimizing fonts/bitmaps in offscreen memory.

	DirectSound Hardware-Acceleration and SRC Sliders
		The sliders control the level of hardware acceleration and quality of sample-rate conversion (SRC) that are made available to DirectSound applications.
		Under this setting, all DirectSound applications run as though no hardware acceleration is available, regardless of the capabilities of the sound card that is being used.
		The Standard setting enables hardware acceleration of DirectSound secondary buffers but disables vendor-specific extensions such as EAX (Creative Technologies' environmental audio extensions) that are exposed as property sets through the IKsPropertySet interface (see Exposing Custom Audio Property Sets).

		It's also referred to as "hardware acceleration" instead of "software acceleration" because without this 3D acceleration your CPU is forced to draw everything itself using the Mesa software rendering libraries, which takes up quite a bit of processing power.
		Three-dimensional hardware acceleration is valuable in situations requiring rendering of 3D objects such as games, 3D CAD and modeling.
		The Direct Rendering Infrastructure, also known as the DRI, is a framework for allowing direct access to graphics hardware in a safe and efficient manner.

	How to set graphics hardware acceleration back
		Under Hardware acceleration, move the slider one notch to the left.
		You can either reduce the acceleration a notch at a time until the problem goes away, or move it all the way to the left, test, then if that cures it, try moving it to the right again until the problem recurs, then back off one notch.
		Every time you turn hardware acceleration back a notch, you're telling Windows to handle another group of video tasks itself rather than turning them over to the video driver.

		Furthermore, graphics hardware designers should keep in mind that demand for increased computational resources means higher energy consumption by the chips, which is not a good news for mobile computers with battery time constraints.
		The firm, however, did not elaborate whether dedicated hardware will be a special circuitry within a visual processing unit, or a special video chip.
		In addition to hardware acceleration of H.264, the RADEON “R520” processor is set to perform next generation video processing and show off advanced display capabilities, ATI said.

	Hardware Physics Acceleration is Coming
		Ageia is a relatively young company founded on the sole principle of bringing physics acceleration hardware to market, as well as providing physics software solutions for those who don't have their unique hardware.
		The company has a very aggressive development schedule to offer new physics solutions in both software and hardware, moving beyond rag dolls, rigid bodies, and particles to detailed cloth (including cloth-on-cloth physics as well as cloth that stretches, rips, and pushes rigid bodies realistically), large bodies of fluids, and even eventually soft-body physics (squishy objects).
		A key difference is that the physically active objects accelerated by the PhysX chip are read back to the main system RAM so the game is aware of their new state.

	DriverHeaven.net - Disable Hardware Acceleration QUICKLY
		It's annoying to do this via the windows menues every time, so I'm looking for a kind of "shortcut" to disable (and reenable) hardware acceleration for both graphics and sound.
		I'm absolutely sure that there's nothing wrong with my hardware/drivers since to shut down the graphics and sound hardware acceleration has been recommended in several forums for the game I'm talking of (1602 A.D. by Sunflowers) and has fixed my game crash issues under WinXP.
		With Regmon, I monitored all the changes that happen to the registry when sound/graphics hardware acceleration is disabled.

	Re: gdi+ hardware acceleration
		Those manipulations reside in the 2D parts of a video card, and some card manufacturers provide better hardware acceleration than others (Matrox is regarded as the fastest in 2D manipulations).
		So in that sense GDI is allready hardware accelerated.
		The choice of what's accelerated is down to the video card driver anyway - it declares to GDI what it supports, but has the option of telling GDI that a call is too complex for it, which causes GDI to break the operation down into smaller steps.

		If it happens to be an opengl driver for some hardware that is not already on your system, then loading it will probably cause a system crash.
		Note: many consumer graphics cards cannot accelerate when the display is 24bpp, and many cannot accelerate when the desktop is at 32bpp in high-resolution.
		For us gamers, acceleration is the most important thing: we'd be happy to settle for a 16bpp accelerated surface, rather than a 32bpp unaccelerated surface.

		As you might expect, Direct3D hardware acceleration is very fast, but its software rendering is rather slow, often unbearably slow.
		Fastgraph's 3D software rendering is only slightly slower than Direct3D hardware acceleration (and sometimes even faster).

	[SDL] hardware acceleration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Really, if you want hardware acceleration "for sure" use an accelerated API for the drawing, or glSDL as a driver.
		It isn't that hard really to create a simple Orthographic projection in OpenGL and build a little set of classes up to act give or take like SDL would act with SDL blits.
		As far as the graphics driver, you'll have acceleration if you've done both of: 1) downloaded and run the NVIDIA-Linux-arch-x.y.z.run (It's 1.0-4363 right now) 2) You're using Driver "nvidia" in your XF86Config instead of the default "nv" driver.
