  • Release Notes for X11R6.8.2 the X.Orgfoundation the Xfree86 Project, Inc
    Release Notes for X11R6.8.2 The X.OrgFoundation The XFree86 Project, Inc. 9February 2005 Abstract These release notes contains information about features and their status in the X.Org Foundation X11R6.8.2 release. It is based on the XFree86 4.4RC2 RELNOTES docu- ment published by The XFree86™ Project, Inc. Thereare significant updates and dif- ferences in the X.Orgrelease as noted below. 1. Introduction to the X11R6.8.2 Release The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system. X11refers to the ver- sion of the network protocol that the X Window system is based on: Version 11was first released in 1988 and has been stable for 15 years, with only upwardcompatible additions to the coreX protocol, a recordofstability envied in computing. Formal releases of X started with X version 9 from MIT;the first commercial X products werebased on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors, the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.OrgGroup released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6, beforethe founding of the X.OrgFoundation. Therewill be futuremaintenance releases in the X11R6.8.x series. However,efforts arewell underway to split the X distribution into its modular components to allow for easier maintenance and independent updates. We expect a transitional period while both X11R6.8 releases arebeing fielded and the modular release completed and deployed while both will be available as different consumers of X technology have different constraints on deployment. Wehave not yet decided how the modular X releases will be numbered. We encourage you to submit bug fixes and enhancements to bugzilla.freedesktop.orgusing the xorgproduct, and discussions on this server take place on <[email protected]>.

  • 3Dnow! Technology in Microsoft Directx
    AMD WHITE PAPER ™ 3DNow! Technology in Microsoft DirectX 6.0 Delivering Leading-Edge 3D Graphics Performance for the New Era of Realistic Computing ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. One AMD Place Sunnyvale, CA 94088 Contact: Dale Weisman Public Relations (512) 602-5820 Anne Camden Public Relations (512) 602-2120 Page 1 52588A May 28, 1998 AMD WHITE PAPER Overview This white paper explains how 3DNow!™ technology improves upon the mature x86 instruction set (now more than 20 years old) to provide PC users with a richer, 3D-enhanced computing experience. The benefits of 3DNow! technology can be achieved with minimal impact on existing and emerging x86 software thanks to the support of an industry standard: the DirectX application programming interface (API). This paper provides an overview of DirectX, a review of the graphics pipeline and how it is enhanced by 3DNow! technology, and a summary of how the 3DNow! instruction set is used in different software layers, as well as the impact of the new 3D instructions on each layer. Introduction: What is DirectX Technology? The DirectX API is a group of technologies designed by Microsoft to make Windows® based computers an ideal platform for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements, such as full-color graphics, video, 3D animation, and surround sound. Built directly into the Microsoft® Windows family of operating systems, DirectX is an integral part of the Windows 95/98 and Windows NT® 5.0 operating systems, as well as Internet Explorer 4.0. DirectX components may also be automatically installed on a PC by advanced multimedia games and applications written for the Windows 95 operating system.

  • A Survey of Distributed File Systems
    A Survey of Distributed File Systems M. Satyanarayanan Department of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University February 1989 Abstract Abstract This paper is a survey of the current state of the art in the design and implementation of distributed file systems. It consists of four major parts: an overview of background material, case studies of a number of contemporary file systems, identification of key design techniques, and an examination of current research issues. The systems surveyed are Sun NFS, Apollo Domain, Andrew, IBM AIX DS, AT&T RFS, and Sprite. The coverage of background material includes a taxonomy of file system issues, a brief history of distributed file systems, and a summary of empirical research on file properties. A comprehensive bibliography forms an important of the paper. Copyright (C) 1988,1989 M.
