VMGL brings 3-D effects to VMs

12-05-2008 01:00 PM
Virtualized computing environments can take advantage of built-in virtualization support in modern dual-core processors, but when it comes to 3-D acceleration in virtual machines, almost all fall flat on their faces. VMGL is a little-known application written as part of Google's Summer of Code 2006 program that lets OpenGL apps running inside a virtual machine take advantage of the graphics hardware acceleration on the host. It has limitations, but if you want 3-D in VMs, VMGL is your best bet.

NAME
libpfm_amd64_fam10h - support for AMD64 Family 10h processors SYNOPSIS
#include <perfmon/pfmlib.h> PMU name: amd64_fam10h_barcelona, amd64_fam10h_shanghai, amd64_fam10h_istanbul PMU desc: AMD64 Fam10h Barcelona, AMD64 Fam10h Shanghai, AMD64 Fam10h Istanbul DESCRIPTION
The library supports AMD Family 10h processors in both 32 and 64-bit modes. They correspond to processor family 16. MODIFIERS
The following modifiers are supported on AMD64 Family 10h (16) processors: u Measure at user level which includes privilege levels 1, 2, 3. This corresponds to PFM_PLM3. This is a boolean modifier. k Measure at kernel level which includes privilege level 0. This corresponds to PFM_PLM0. This is a boolean modifier. h Measure at while executing in host mode (when using virtualization). This corresponds to PFM_PLMH. This modifier is available starting with Fam10h. This is a boolean modifier. g Measure at while executing in guest mode (when using virtualization). This modifier is available starting with Fam10h. This is a boolean modifier. i Invert the meaning of the event. The counter will now count cycles in which the event is not occurring. This is a boolean modifier e Enable edge detection, i.e., count only when there is a state transition. This is a boolean modifier. c Set the counter mask value. The mask acts as a threshold. The counter will count the number of cycles in which the number of occur- rences of the event is greater or equal to the threshold. This is an integer modifier with values in the range [0:255].
