OpenGL 4.3/Video card 

Release date: August 6, 2012

• Compute shaders leveraging GPU parallelism within the context of the graphics pipeline
• Shader storage buffer objects, allowing shaders to read and write buffer objects like image load/store from 4.2, but through the language rather than function calls.
• Image format parameter queries
• ETC2/EAC texture compression as a standard feature
• Full compatibility with OpenGL ES 3.0 APIs 
• MESA >10.3  for llvm software render（https://people.freedesktop.org/~imirkin/glxinfo/#diff&b=version&g=LLVMPipe）
• llvmpipe is OpenGL software operations driver.

Virgil 3D/virglrenderer

• Kernel Linux 4.2 contains the modesetting only drivers. Linux 4.4 contains the 3D supported pieces.

• Mesa Mesa master contains the virgl 3D driver.

• QEMU QEMU 2.4 contained the initial virtio-gpu with no acceleration support. QEMU 2.5 contains 3D support only with the GTK3 frontend with GL enabled.   Needs SDL2/OpenGL ES 3.0

• virglrenderer The virglrenderer library seems mostly API stable. <-- Depends on OpenGL 3.0
