Kwanan nan, a cikin wani sakon blog na Shugaba na Raspberry Pi, Eben Upton, ya bayyana hakan la Rasberi 4 yanzu ya bi sigar 1.2 na Vulkan Graphics API.
Bayan isa sigar 1.0 a cikin Nuwamba 2020 da sigar 1.1 a cikin Oktoba 2021, sigar 1.2 ta haɗa 23 da aka saba amfani da Vulkan kari a cikin ma'auni kuma yana da kusanci da sigar ƙarshe, 1.3, wanda aka saki a cikin Janairu.
Khronos ya ba da yardarsa da kuma wanda ya kamata a sami sabuntawar direba a cikin sigar tsarin aiki na gaba.
"Dukkan canje-canjen da suka wajaba an riga an haɗa su a cikin direban Mesa v3dv na baya kuma a ƙarshe za su kasance a cikin sabuntawa nan gaba ga Rasberi Pi OS. Daidaitawa tare da wasu kari daban-daban, wasu daga cikinsu suna da mahimmanci a cikin Vulkan 1.3, da kuma gyare-gyaren kwari da yawa da haɓaka aiki. ”, in ji Iago Toral na Igalia.
Sigar Mesa na yanzu shine 22.1.3 kuma sabon lambar tabbas ba zai kasance ba har sai 22.2. Wannan yana nufin cewa za a buƙaci wasu aiki don masu riko da wuri. Labarin Upton kuma yana nuna gudummawar Roman Stratiienko wanda ke ƙara tallafin Android ga mai sarrafawa. Wannan yana buɗe hanya don gudanar da wasannin Android akan Pi 4 ta hanyar tashar jiragen ruwa na tsarin aiki na Google, kamar Lineage OS.
Wannan ci gaban, gami da tallafi ga Vulkan 1.2, ba wai yana nufin za a ga shahararrun wasanni ba ko za a iya amfani da su don abubuwa irin wannan a cikin Rasberi Pi 4. Amma yana iya haifar da haɓakawa a cikin aikin aikace-aikacen kamar Kodi, VLC, ko aikace-aikacen yanar gizo masu haɓaka hardware.
Akwai kuma dakunan karatu na Vulkan don koyon inji, wanda ke buɗe sabbin hanyoyin horar da hanyoyin sadarwa na jijiyoyi akan gungu na Pi. Ga yawancin mutanen da ke amfani da Pi azaman sabar, mai sarrafa DIY, ko tebur mai nauyi, bin Vulkan 1.2 ba zai zama sananne ba. Zane-zanen tebur akan daidaitaccen tsarin aiki na Rasberi Pi ana sarrafa shi ta OpenGL.
Wannan shine API ɗin tsohon zane wanda yakamata Vulkan ya maye gurbinsa. iyaA cewar Upton, akwai rukuni guda da ke amfana: Android 3D games da sauran apps. Android tana amfani da Vulkan azaman API ɗin zane mai rahusa.
Kamar yadda yake tare da yawancin ci gaban Rasberi Pi, wannan da alama ƙaramin canji na iya buɗe damar da ba a zata ba. Taimako don Vulkan 1.2 yana ba masu haɓaka ƙirar ƙirar 3D iri ɗaya (amma ba iko ɗaya ba) kamar katunan zane na 2019 NVIDIA, kwakwalwan kwamfuta na Intel na 2020 tare da haɗe-haɗen zane, da sauran na'urori da yawa.
Tare da shigar da direban Vulkan 1.0, Toral ya sami damar, a cikin 2020, don aiwatar da ainihin Quake trilogy akan Pi 4, tare da ba-so-mummunan firam rates. Kafa direban Vulkan na zamani don Pi 4 yana da mahimmanci musamman ga Upton.
A zahiri, kafin yin aiki akan Rasberi Pi, Upton yana cikin ƙungiyar a Broadcom waɗanda suka tsara guntu na VideoCore 3D GPU, ɗaya wanda ke hawa akan kowane allon Rasberi Pi. Upton kuma ya wakilci Broadcom daga 2007 zuwa 2012 a Khronos, ma'aunin API ɗin zane wanda ke kula da ƙa'idodi kamar OpenGL.
OpenGL ya riga ya nuna shekarunsa a lokacin Upton, kuma ya shiga cikin ƙoƙarin farko na sakin magajinsa, Vulkan.
"Muna yawan tura abubuwan Mesa gaba maimakon jira shekaru biyu kafin su bayyana a babban sakin Debian na gaba. Wataƙila ya yi latti don sakin Satumba, don haka ina tunanin ƙarshen shekara,” in ji shi. Dangane da inda wannan fasaha za ta iya zuwa, ya ce, "yana da amfani a matsayin ingantaccen ƙarshen baya ga nau'ikan injunan wasa daban-daban (musamman, Epic Games 'Injin Unreal)." Studios da ke saka hannun jari a cikin jigilar wasannin zuwa dandamali wani abu ne kuma, "amma yana da kyau a sami abubuwan yau da kullun a wurin."
A ƙarshe, yana da kyau a faɗi cewa har yanzu ba a sami tallafi akan tsarin aiki da za'a iya saukarwa da suka dace da allunan Pi ba, amma yakamata a samu nan ba da jimawa ba.
Ga wadanda suke mai sha'awar ƙarin sani game da shi, zaka iya duba bayanan A cikin mahaɗin mai zuwa.
