    Phoronix: Intel's Mesa Driver Isn't Yet Ready For Double-Precision Floating-Point Types

    Those paying attention to the mailing list may have seen the patches yesterday that surfaced from an independent developer for implementing ARB_gpu_shader_fp64 with Intel's graphics driver for Gen 7+ hardware. Unfortunately, it was too good to be true...

          maybe someone should point them to more busy work extensions GL_ARB_shader_subroutine seems like a good candidate.
