OpenGL 2.0 Performance Optimizing and Debugger Tool Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) will be able to increase the performance of their OpenGL-based software applications when they use the new gDEBugger tool. gDEBugger profiles OpenGL 2.0 code to help to debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. and improve the performance of OpenGL-based applications. With the added feature of real- time hardware profiling, the gDEBugger tool monitors and provides visibility to various points in the graphics pipeline in real time so that ISVs can alter software on-the-fly to correct errors. Developers can download the tool from http://developer.3dlabs.com/.
