  2. Quartz (graphics layer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_(graphics_layer)

    Quartz can render text with sub-pixel precision; graphics are limited to more traditional anti-aliasing, which is the default mode of operation but can be turned off. [3] In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple introduced Quartz 2D Extreme, enabling Quartz 2D to offload rendering to compatible GPUs.

    Multiprocessing Services 2.0, introduced in Mac OS 8.6, [2] is a backwards-compatible major release that increases the level of integration preemptive tasks have with the rest of the system. [ 3 ] Multiprocessing Services 2.1, introduced in Mac OS 9 , [ 1 ] adds support for devices with more than 1 GB of RAM.

  4. Software rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rendering

    Software rendering is the process of generating an image from a model by means of computer software. In the context of computer graphics rendering, software rendering refers to a rendering process that is not dependent upon graphics hardware ASICs, such as a graphics card. The rendering takes place entirely in the CPU. Rendering everything with ...

  6. Parallel rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_rendering

    Parallel rendering (or distributed rendering) is the application of parallel programming to the computational domain of computer graphics. Rendering graphics can require massive computational resources for complex scenes that arise in scientific visualization , medical visualization , CAD applications, and virtual reality .

  7. Simultaneous multithreading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_multithreading

    Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a technique for improving the overall efficiency of superscalar CPUs with hardware multithreading. SMT permits multiple independent threads of execution to better use the resources provided by modern processor architectures .

  8. Multiple buffering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_buffering

    Due to the software algorithm not polling the graphics hardware for monitor refresh events, the algorithm may continuously draw additional frames as fast as the hardware can render them. For frames that are completed much faster than interval between refreshes, it is possible to replace a back buffers' frames with newer iterations multiple ...
