S3 Chrome 400 GPUs supported by gDEBugger tool

GRAPHICS AND VIRTUALISATION firm S3 Graphics and Israeli OpenGL performance tool provider, Graphic Remedy, today announced support for Chrome 400 Series GPUs dubbed gDEBugger.

When we asked Graphic Remedy what the bugger it all meant, the firm’s CEO, Avi Shapira, told the INQ that gDEBugger was an OpenGL and OpenGL ES debugger and profiler which gave developers an OpenGL development toolkit.

Shapira explained that gDEBugger could significantly slash debugging and profiling time and claimed the app would also boost performance and increase robustness. The little debugger can also purportedly pump out real-time statistics on performance usage, throughput and other performance metrics in S3 Graphics hardware and drivers.

Noting that his firm had worked closely with S3 on sticking Graphics hardware and driver support into gDEBugger, Shapira added the tool should allow OpenGL developers targeting S3 Graphics hardware “to identify graphic pipeline bottlenecks, optimise their application performance, and measure the success of different optimisations they apply."

Well (de)bugger us! µ
