I heard a lot about new IR and IS SGI stations but I read nothing in Performer
2.0 guides about "pixel fill load management, graphic local display lists, ..."
and I would like to know :
- if there will be a new Performer release (2.1) which use these IR(S) features
and when this version will be available,
- if I can get technical informations (ftp, web, ...) about these features and
how they will be implemented in OpenGL (extensions?) or Performer.
