Hardware acceleration of SKIA

[trac-er]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how the web browser can be accelerated in
Android.
Does SKIA take advantage of any hardware acceleration?
On Android, does it use openGL or openVG at all? Do you see any
hardware acceleration possible in the future to make web browsing
faster?

Regards,
Scott

There is a work-in-progress OpenGL ES backend for Skia already. There
is a desire going forward to improve that, and possibly extend it to
take advantage of both desktop GL features and ES 2.0 shader language.

There is no OpenVG backend that I'm aware of.

PS - I am also personally interested in other backends for Skia, esp.
PDF and/or postscript.

Hi Mike,

Is the OpenGL ES backend accessible somewhere? This is the first mention of
it I've seen.
