Muva nje, ekubhalweni kwebhulogi ngu-CEO we-Raspberry Pi, U-Eben Upton, ukudalule lokho la I-Raspberry 4 manje ihambisana nenguqulo 1.2 ye-Vulkan Graphics API.
Ngemva kokufinyelela inguqulo 1.0 ngoNovemba 2020 kanye nenguqulo 1.1 ngo-Okthoba 2021, inguqulo 1.2 ihlanganisa izandiso ze-Vulkan ezingu-23 ezisetshenziswa njalo ezingeni futhi iseduze kakhulu nenguqulo yokugcina, engu-1.3, eyakhululwa ngoJanuwari.
U-Khronos unikeze imvume yakhe futhi okufanele kube nesibuyekezo somshayeli enguqulweni yesikhathi esizayo yesistimu yokusebenza.
“Zonke izinguquko ezidingekayo bezivele zifakiwe kumshayeli wangaphambilini we-Mesa v3dv futhi ekugcineni zizotholakala ezibuyekezweni ezizayo ze-Raspberry Pi OS. Ukuhambisana nezinye izandiso ezihlukahlukene, ezinye zazo ezibalulekile ku-Vulkan 1.3, kanye nokulungiswa kweziphazamisi eziningi nokuthuthukiswa kokusebenza. ”, kusho u-Iago Toral wase-Igalia.
Inguqulo yamanje ye-Mesa ingu-22.1.3 kanye nekhodi entsha cishe ngeke itholakale kuze kube umhlaka-22.2. Lokhu kusho ukuthi umsebenzi othile uzodingeka kulabo abasanda kuqala. I-athikili ka-Upton iphinda ikhombise umnikelo ka-Roman Stratiienko owengeza usekelo lwe-Android kusilawuli. Lokhu kuvula indlela yokusebenzisa imidlalo ye-Android ku-Pi 4 ngembobo yesistimu yokusebenza ye-Google, njenge-Lineage OS.
Lokhu kuthuthukiswa, okuhlanganisa nokusekelwa kwe-Vulkan 1.2, akusho ukuthi kuzobonakala imidlalo ethandwayo noma ingasetshenziselwa izinto zalolu hlobo ku-Raspberry Pi 4. Kodwa kungaholela ekuthuthukisweni kokusebenza kohlelo lokusebenza njenge-Kodi, VLC, noma izinhlelo zokusebenza zewebhu ezisheshiswe ngehadiwe.
Kukhona nemitapo yolwazi ye-Vulkan yokufunda ngomshini, okuvula izindlela ezintsha zokuqeqesha amanethiwekhi e-neural kumaqoqo we-Pi. Kubantu abaningi abasebenzisa i-Pi yabo njengeseva, isilawuli se-DIY, noma ideskithophu engasindi, ukuthobela i-Vulkan 1.2 ngeke kubonakale. Ihluzo zedeskithophu ohlelweni olujwayelekile lwe-Raspberry Pi zilawulwa yi-OpenGL.
Le yi-API yezithombe endala okufanele ifakwe i-Vulkan. yeboNgokuka-Upton, kuneqembu elilodwa elizuzayo: Imidlalo ye-Android 3D nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza. I-Android isebenzisa i-Vulkan njenge-API yezithombe ezingabizi kakhulu.
Njengentuthuko eminingi ye-Raspberry Pi, lolu shintsho olubonakala luncane lungavula amathuba angalindelekile. Ukusekelwa kwe-Vulkan 1.2 kunikeza onjiniyela isixhumi esibonakalayo semifanekiso ye-3D (kodwa hhayi amandla afanayo) njengamakhadi ezithombe e-NVIDIA ka-2019, ama-Intel chips angu-2020 anezithombe ezihlanganisiwe, kanye nenqwaba yamanye amadivayisi.
Ngomshayeli we-Vulkan 1.0 ofakiwe, iToral yakwazi, ngo-2020, ukusebenzisa i-Quake trilogy yokuqala ku-Pi 4., ngamanani ozimele angemabi kangako. Ukumisa umshayeli we-Vulkan wesimanje we-Pi 4 kubaluleke kakhulu ku-Upton.
Eqinisweni, ngaphambi kokusebenza ku-Raspberry Pi, u-Upton ubeyingxenye yeqembu kwa-Broadcom elaklama i-VideoCore 3D GPU chip, efanayo efakwe kuwo wonke amabhodi we-Raspberry Pi. U-Upton uphinde wamela i-Broadcom kusukela ngo-2007 kuya ku-2012 e-Khronos, indikimba yamazinga ezithombe ze-API eyengamele amazinga afana ne-OpenGL.
I-OpenGL yayisivele ikhombisa iminyaka yayo ngesikhathi sika-Upton, futhi yayibambe iqhaza emzamweni wokuqala wokukhulula owayilandela, uVulkan.
"Sivame ukuphusha ukukhishwa kweMesa phambili esikhundleni sokulinda iminyaka emibili ukuze bavele ekukhululweni okukhulu okulandelayo kwe-Debian. Cishe isikhathi sesihambile sokukhululwa ngoSepthemba, ngakho ngicabanga ukuphela konyaka,” kusho yena. Ngokuqondene nokuthi lobu buchwepheshe bungaya kuphi, uthe, "buwusizo njengesiphetho esisebenza kahle sezinjini ezahlukahlukene zegeyimu (ikakhulukazi, injini ye-Epic Games' Unreal)." Izitudiyo ezitshala imali ekuthutheleni imidlalo endaweni yesikhulumi kukhona okunye, "kodwa kuhle ukuba nezinto eziyisisekelo endaweni."
Okokugcina, kufanelekile ukusho ukuthi ukusekela akukakatholakali ezinhlelweni zokusebenza ezilandekayo ezifanele amabhodi we-Pi, kodwa kufanele kutholakale maduze.
Okwalabo unentshisekelo yokwazi okwengeziwe ngayo, ungabheka imininingwane Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.
