feel free to disregard, considering the target audience, but
s/Designed for Intel GPUs/Designed for GPUs/ ?

(I mean compared to, say, LLVM, NIR has more passes that are in
general useful to GPUs and much of what it misses compared to LLVM
seems less useful for GPUs or SIMT processors.. I think for other
drivers that do nir->backend (which is not LLVM) we could still get
some benefit of adding some non-intel-specific opcodes to NIR, but
that is more a matter of other drivers not having typed up the patches
than some NIR limitation)

 ISL isn't really for converting between surface formats.  A better
 one-sentence description would be "A library for computing image sizes and
 memory layouts"

 BLORP: How about "blit, clear, and resolve functionality" rather than
 "driver functionality"

 NIR: Not really a "front-end" more of an "optimizing middle compiler"

 Looks snazzy though. :-)

 Hi All,

 I developed the following infographic to inform readers about the
 various parts that make up the Intel Mesa drivers.  It is intended to help
 groups inside Intel better understand the open source community, and at the
 same time, it helps train newcomers to Mesa in driver architecture.

 I haven't put this in a tree yet since it is a combination of a
 LibreOffice Draw document and a binary image file.

 Thanks.

[Mesa-dev] docs: Intel Mesa Drivers infographic

2018-05-10 Thread Laura Ekstrand 
Hi All,

I developed the following infographic to inform readers about the various
parts that make up the Intel Mesa drivers.  It is intended to help groups
inside Intel better understand the open source community, and at the same
time, it helps train newcomers to Mesa in driver architecture.

I haven't put this in a tree yet since it is a combination of a LibreOffice
Draw document and a binary image file.

Thanks.
