Using OpenGL Driver Monitor

OpenGL Driver Monitor is a developer tool that lets you investigate how the graphics processing unit (GPU) works on a system-wide basis. Using it, you can:

• Inspect the renderers available on a Mac OS X system

• See what OpenGL extensions each renderer supports

• Monitor rendering parameters and resources in real-time

• Track the interaction between the GPU and the CPU

This chapter provides an overview of OpenGL Driver Monitor and shows how you can use it to look at and track OpenGL parameters.
