Gallium3D's Softpipe Driver Now Runs Faster
![MESA](/assets/categories/mesa.webp)
While the performance of the Mesa Software Rasterizer is far from ideal for an end-user as it's just eating up the CPU, more performance optimizations are going into llvmpipe, which uses the Low-Level Virtual Machine for providing some process optimizations. The softpipe driver will remain an area that's used for experimenting with new ideas by developers.
Keith's softpipe-opt merge announcement was made on the mesa3d-dev mailing list.
