Bug#692597: ITP: primus -- Low-overhead client-side GPU offloading

Package: wnpp
Severity:  wishlist

Package name: primus
Version: 0.1

Programming Lang: C++
Description:
 Primus is a shared library that provides OpenGL and GLX APIs and
 implements low-overhead local-only client-side OpenGL offloading via
 GLX forking, similar to VirtualGL. It intercepts GLX calls and redirects
 GL rendering to a secondary X display, presumably driven by a faster
 GPU. On swapping buffers, rendered contents are read back using a
 PBO and copied onto the drawable it was supposed to be rendered on in
 the first place.
