Phoronix: TTM Officially Dies, Code Striped Away In Mesa
TTM, or Translation Table Maps, the memory manager developed by Tungsten Graphics, is now dead. TTM has been dwindling away since last year when Intel introduced the Graphics Execution Manager (which has since entered the mainline Linux kernel), but now the code for this memory manager has been dropped from Mesa and its Intel driver. The Intel Linux graphics stack has migrated entirely to using GEM instead of TTM, while other open-source drivers are using a combination of the GEM API with some TTM code (a GEM-ified TTM manager)...
