Description
ACS is AMD's fork of Weston compositor, with some additional advanced features. We have created ACS considering the following primary goals in mind:
- To act as a staging area for Weston/Wayland features to be opensourced to mainline.
- To act as a reference compositor platform for AMD's advanced graphics and display feature development.
- To provide a middleware compositor which extracts the best out of AMD Display and Graphics HW (We don't mind being biased to AMDGPU HW 🙂)
- To host some of the AMD HW specific code, which can't be merged in weston mainline due to its bias towards AMD HW.
- To be utilised in full stack opensource delivery vehicle for AMDs commercial solutions and products.
- To be the space where AMD specific in-house SW tools (performance tweakers, multimedia players, 3D games, profiling tools etc) can
in future.
