Android 4.3 will support more buffer objects

Google has begun to secretly test Android 4.3, which seems to imply that we will not see Android 5.0 in the upcoming I/O developers ' conference.

HTC's engineers say Android 4.3 will join Bluetooth low power Bluetooth technology, which allows developers to develop a wide range of derivative applications, such as the health-care application of heart-rate monitors, through the open API.

Although previous vendors have added the above functionality through their own efforts, the Android authorities have not yet incorporated it. In addition, the developer also revealed that the Android new version of the system will also support OpenGL ES 3.0, and the Galaxy S4, HTC one and other models built Gaotong Dragon 600 processor, its graphics processor Adreno 320 has supported this standard.

According to the specifications published by OpenGL ES 3.0, its new features include:

1, support more buffer objects.

2. The new GLSL ES 3.0 coloring language supports 32-bit integer and floating-point data types as well as operations.

3, increase the support of multiple textures, including floating point texture, depth texture, vertex texture and so on.

4, multiple render target (multiple Render Targets), let the GPU render multiple textures at once.

5, multiple-sampling anti-aliasing (MSAA Render to texture), so that 3D object edge does not appear burrs, can enhance the image effect.

6, use the unified texture compression format etc.
