Minor terminology suggestion... On Mon, Feb 24, 2003 at 11:24:14AM -0800, Ian Romanick wrote: | ... | As has recently been discussed on the dri-devel mailing list, texture | uploads in the DRI are not fully pipelined [1]...
I notice a lot of people on this list say "upload" when describing transfer of data from host to graphics, though the usual term for that operation in the places I've worked is "download." Reminds me of tree data structures being drawn with the root at the top, unlike real trees. :-) To avoid confusion, it might be nice to use "load" for the transfer from host to graphics memory, and "unload" for the reverse. This also has the virtue of being more concise.
