Nvidia Cg parts of PSGL were scrapped when it was adopted for PSSL. Duh no more NV GPU. What was left was made into PSSL with OGL 4.4 support(GLSL), and a heavy emphasis on HLSL/DX11.2 compliance.
PSSL is based on OpenGL ES/GLSL, and modeled after HLSL, With DX11.2 extensions.
PS4 uses a DX wrapper (GMNX)
By your logic PSSL was made with HLSL(On Unix) then modified for OGL 4.4.......isn't that a bit backwards to write a completely new driver based on Direct X for Unix?
Yes PSSL is very similar to HLSL. it was modeled after it using GLSL as a base. It is a hybrid.
Or do you think making new drivers based on GLSL was easier than adopting the AMD OpenGL 4(Linux) drivers and working from there.
That would have been 10x the work.
