UMA Acceleration Architecture
In computing, UMA Acceleration Architecture (UXA) is the reimplementation of the EXA graphics acceleration architecture of the X.Org Server developed by Intel. Its major difference with EXA is the use of GEM, replacing Translation Table Maps.[1] In February 2009 it became clear that UXA would not be merged back into EXA.[2]
Intel is transitioning from UXA to SNA.
Implementations
In May 2009 it was announced that Ubuntu would migrate their graphics acceleration for the Ubuntu 9.10 release to UXA.[3]
gollark: How would *you* do it?
gollark: Sure you do.
gollark: <@107118134875422720> Java is the best programming language.
gollark: Alternatively, just use `yemmel-simulator` from switchcraft's ROM.
gollark: With a Markov chain thingy and a set of past messages, we should be able to generate hydraz-like messages easily.
