| Introduction |
| ============ |
| |
| The Mesa project began as an open-source implementation of the |
| `OpenGL`_ specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics. |
| |
| Over the years the project has grown to implement more graphics APIs, |
| including `OpenGL ES`_, `OpenCL`_, `OpenMAX`_, `VDPAU`_, `VA-API`_, |
| `XvMC`_, `Vulkan`_ and `EGL`_. |
| |
| A variety of device drivers allows the Mesa libraries to be used in many |
| different environments ranging from software emulation to complete |
| hardware acceleration for modern GPUs. |
| |
| Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the `Direct Rendering |
| Infrastructure`_, `X.org`_, and `Wayland`_ to provide OpenGL support on |
| Linux, FreeBSD, and other operating systems. |
