    Hmm... I've never heard of "safety critical." At least I've googled for the definition.

      It's a "profile" of the OpenGL ES spec. Their working group page at https://www.khronos.org/openglsc/ has more details and images

        Ever heard the saying "if cars were like computers they would run at 5000 mph, do a million miles per gallon, but every so often explode and kill everyone inside" ?

          Actually I would've liked it if they'd expand and make a vulkan/opengl associated open sound api (like directx has direct sound; I'm gettin kinda tired of fmod to be honest)

            How about OpenAL? It's not made by Khronos, but it was designed from the ground up to resemble OpenGL

              Possibly stupid question, but what does that have to do with GPUs?

                Contrary to what the name suggests, it's proprietary now.

                  HDMI ports are on GPU's.
                  Sound decoding on GPU's with an audio block.
                  Sound synthesis in simulations/games by GPU's.
