primus binary package in Ubuntu Mantic amd64
Primus is a shared library that provides OpenGL and GLX APIs and implements
low-overhead local-only client-side OpenGL offloading via GLX forking,
similar to VirtualGL. It intercepts GLX calls and redirects GL rendering
to a secondary X display, presumably driven by a faster GPU. On swapping
buffers, rendered contents are read back using a PBO and copied onto
the drawable it was supposed to be rendered on in the first place.
.
Primus is currently intended to be used alongside Bumblebee and provides a
drop-in replacement for optirun (i.e. "primusrun").
