Description-en: shared libraries for primus
Primus is a shared library that provides OpenGL and GLX APIs and implements
low-overhead local-only client-side OpenGL offloading via GLX forking,
similar to VirtualGL. It intercepts GLX calls and redirects GL rendering
to a secondary X display, presumably driven by a faster GPU. On swapping
buffers, rendered contents are read back using a PBO and copied onto
the drawable it was supposed to be rendered on in the first place.
.
This package contains the libraries for primus which are loaded when running
primusrun.
