Description

What are the OpenGL "fast paths" on the Visual Workstations, and how would I access them?

Problem Resolution

OpenGL developers typically refer to hardware accelerated OpenGL features as "fast paths."

These features are detailed in the back of the online documentation that comes with the Silicon Graphics OpenGL Software Development Kit (SDK), entitled, "OpenGL Programming Guide for Silicon Graphics Windows NT Visual Workstations". The list of features appears in the section called, "Optimizing OpenGL Code for the Workstations".

The Silicon Graphics OpenGL SDK is available for download from:
