Mir gains ability to split work across multiple video cards |
 |
While the Mir display server started out as a technology for Ubuntu with its own protocol, the software has been extended to also act as a Wayland display server. This could allow Mir to act as a desktop-neutral Wayland implementation for desktop environments which have not created their own display server. One of the latest features of Mir is the ability to split work across multiple video cards. "But, even without multiple platforms we can already run compositing on a different card than we render on. This means, for instance that I can use an integrated GPU to render and display via a dock using DisplayLink. (DisplayLink creates a virtual evdi 'card' that doesn’t support rendering.)" Additional information on the efforts going into Mir can be found in this discourse post.
