The software debugs OpenGL ES-based graphics engines intended for iPhone apps; programmers can thus work on improving rendering speed, as well as reducing memory footprints. gDEBugger operates on top of the Apple iPhone Simulator and supports iPhone 2.2.1, 3.0 and 3.1 SDKs, as well as both... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/06/debugs.iphone.graphic.engines/ Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/14/khronos.group.preparing.new.standard.for.2010/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/webgl.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Developers working with Khronos Group are currently testing a new standard, WebGL, that aims to bring hardware-accelerated 3D graphics to a wide range of browsers without requiring a dedicated plug-in. The system is based on the Canvas element within HTML5, but adds the ability for OpenGL functionality to be accessible using JavaScript.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/14/khronos.group.preparing.new.standard.for.2010/ Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/04/khronos.outs.opengl.32/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/amdcinema2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />At the SIGGRAPH show that kicked off on Tuesday in New Orleans, the Khronos Group announced the release of its latest OpenGL graphics standard, OpenGL 3.2 (PDF). This update, the third major one in the last year, improves performance, quality, accelerated geometry processing and greater flexibility in dealing with 3D applications. Open GL 3.1 was released in March.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/04/khronos.outs.opengl.32/ Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/04/webgl.standard.detailed/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0908/idrage.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Standards firm Khronos has revealed details on WebGL, an upcoming graphics technology. The standard provides a JavaScript binding for OpenGL ES 2.0, allowing 3D-accelerated graphics within a variety of web browsers. More crucially the standard eliminates the need for custom rendering plug-ins, enabling complex 3D on websites as matter of course. Some expected uses include online gaming, as at s... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/04/webgl.standard.detailed/ Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/03/gdebugger.iphone.beta/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0906/gDEBuggeriPhone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Graphic Remedy has released a beta version of gDEBugger iPhone. The software is used to analyze graphic system implementations when developing OpenGL-based titles for the iPhone. OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 are supported, in which users can locate performance bottlenecks, and unnecessary function calls and state changes. The tool also tracks errors and can automatically suspend an app run when errors o... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/03/gdebugger.iphone.beta/ Mon, 03 Aug 2009 20:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/05/gdebugger.iphone.beta/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0905/gDEBugger_iPhone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Graphic Remedy has launched the beta gDEBugger iPhone.

The software handles the profiling and debugging of OpenGL code, letting users track the causes of bad performance in OpenGL-based programs. Programmers can additionally tweak memory usage, fix redundant state changes and remove unrecommended OpenGL function calls... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/12/gdebbugger.beta.program/ Mon, 12 Jan 2009 19:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/23/no.64.bit.cs4.for.mac/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0809/CS464bit.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Though anticipated, some Mac users may still be disappointed at the lack of 64-bit support in Adobe Creative Suite 4. The suite was unveiled late Monday -- and while Windows users will be able to take full advantage of their 64-bit machines, Mac users will have to wait at least until the release of CS5. Still, the company says Mac users will see performance increases in the new version, because o... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/23/no.64.bit.cs4.for.mac/ Tue, 23 Sep 2008 12:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/10/amd.radeon.hd.4600/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/amdradeonhd4600.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AMD started off Wednesday by setting a new relative ground floor for performance and hoping to beat NVIDIA's GeForce 9500 cards. The Radeon HD 4600 series is claimed to outperform both the 9500 GT and AMD's own earlier Radeon HD 3650 by including all the hardware optimizations of the 4800 series and still keeping 320 stream (visual effects) processors. It's also one of the least expensive graphi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/10/amd.radeon.hd.4600/ Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/14/nvidia.supports.opengl.3/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/nvidiageforce9500gt.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />NVIDIA this afternoon was quick to announced that it was supporting the new OpenGL 3.0 standard for graphics and has already launched a software driver beta.
