As an application developer, one of your primary concerns
is designing and tuning your application so that it runs at full
performance on supported platforms. On HP graphics systems, a simple
technique can be applied to graphics-intensive applications that
will help you accomplish this goal.
The first step in this process is to choose appropriate hardware
and software for the application that you will be running. Once
the application has been written or ported to this platform, determine
if you are reaching expected performance levels. If not, determine
where the bottlenecks in the application are, or how the application
is using system resources.
If the problem is in the application's interaction with the
graphics hardware or software, some straightforward techniques can
be used to help identify the source of the problem, and some simple
guidelines can be followed in order to improve performance. If the
problem is not related to the application's use of graphics, other
options may be available to improve application performance.
Although many of these techniques apply to all of the graphics
libraries supported by Hewlett-Packard, the specific tuning graphics
guidelines discussed here focus on PEXlib.
