Mesa's GL implementation "competing" with Vulkan doesn't make any sense to me - it would not surprise me at all if some of the Mesa developers eventually worked on free software Vulkan drivers as well. > The most important to me seem: > GL_ARB_sparse_texture > <https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/ARB/sparse_texture.txt> > GL_ARB_bindless_texture > <https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/ARB/bindless_texture.txt> FYI, Broadwell and earlier hardware simply cannot support these.

These would be nice. i965 already has some code in place for GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters; patches are welcome to finish it. Patches to improve glMultiDrawIndirect would be welcome as well - currently we do a pretty naive loop. > hope initially we can get implemented in i965 altough this will require BDW > gen8 or Skylake gen9 graphics.. > Would be nice to hear about interest for implementing relatively soon (say > this year?) > > Thanks.. Not likely to happen this year unless someone steps up, sorry. We're still trying to finish off GL 4.0-4.3, at least on the Intel side. Maybe the other driver developers would like to tackle them, though.
