What's the difference between OpenGL advanced and normal modes?

I get that Basic mode uses the cpu and Normal uses the gpu, but what exactly does Advanced mode do?
The description says that it uses as much of the GPU as Normal Mode does, but adds "advanced techniques to improve drawing performance."
Has anyone seen one of these advanced techniques  in action or know of a list of these mysterious improved capabilities?

What CC said... Imagine a shader having say a length of 32 discrete instructions/steps vs. one with 16... The 32 one will concatenate specific operations in one step and may thus be more optimized, but will not work on a card that does not provide those 32 shader cores, since it could not be executed in one clock cycle. Then you would use the 16 one with instructions being split across 2 cycles... That's all there is to it and for al lintents and purposes mostly irrelevant and unimportant to the user...

  • What is the difference between document class and normal class

    Hi,
    Please let me know what is the difference between document class and normal class.
    And I have no idea which class should call as document class or call as an object.
    Thanks
    -Actionscript Developer

    the document class is invoked immediately when your swf opens.  the document class must subclass the sprite or movieclip class.
    all other classes are invoked explicitly with code and need not subclass any other class.

  • What is the difference between CE Portal and normal Portal

    Can someone tell me the difference between CE Portal & Normal Portal. I mean, I keep hearing that SAP EP 7.2 is CE portal whereas SAP EP 7.3 is not CE portal.
    Can I assume that CE (Composite environment) is a failure model so SAP switched back to Non-CE environment ? Your inputs please.

    Hello,
    SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 and 7.2 have been introduced as a lean "side-car" approach to complement the SAP NetWeaver standard release. Main reason was to provide composition tools and services based on a enhanced Java technology stack (back the time).
    The official successor of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (or any of the enhancements packages) has been SAP NetWeaver 7.3 (where we brougth various tools together back into one SAP NetWeaver codeline.) Nowadays we recommend the latest release: SAP NetWeaver 7.4 including the Enterprise Portal 7.4.
    Customers & Partners who did not want to install the full SAP NetWeaver Java stack had the chance to only go with the Composition Environment - that contained selected portal core services. These are mainly used for application integration / launching scenarios and not supportin full enterprise portal (intranet / extranet) scenarios - that's why there is no KM included.
    Hope this helps to get a better understanding.

  • What is the difference between Bex transportation and Normal Transportation

    Hi experts,
    I have doubt with Transporting queries , in this I've used the normal transport (truck icon) rather than Bex Transport. I would like to know which is the preferable one and what is the main difference between them.
    Suggest me if I can go for normal Transportation rather than Ibex transport, as I've  not tried Bex transportation before.
    Give me some valuable inputs please.......
    Regards
    Kumar

    Hi Kumar,
    We have a Bex transport because we may make changes in the query very often and these changes will be automatically taken care by Bex transports.
    Generally this is how it goes.
    You will capture the queries by creating a transport request and immediately you will create a Bex transport request and  you have to assign the previously created transport request number to this Bex transport request, so that everytime you make changes to the query will be taken care by the Bex transport.
    You can even create a Bex transport request individually.
    Hope this tip may be useful.
    Assign points if you find useful
    Thanks
    Regards

  • What is the difference between materialised view and normal view?

    please expalin the difference in detail with an example.
    thanks.

    Hi User,
    Welcome to Forum !!!!
    Materialized view is nothing but a database Object similar to Tables,Indexes,Procedures etc.
    It contains the results of a query.
    The materialized view is refreshed when the query is executed. And are refreshed on demand
    Unlike Views, it contain data.
    It does not contain real-time data.
    Materialized view are called Snapshot(In Older Versions of Oracle).
    Thanks,

  • What's the difference between segment filtering and reduced message type

    Hi gurus,
    What's the difference between segment filtering and reduced message type? It seems they have the same functionality: Reduce the segment while idoc is generated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    BD53 is for IDoc Reduction.
    this allows you to create a reduced message based upon a standard message type.If you want see mandatory fields. go to T-coe BD53 and give one standard messege type name and eg: matmas
    there mandatory fields will be in Green color..
    And BD56- This transaction is used to filter out segments of IDocs for combination of sender and receiver. This is usefull in scenarios where a standard IDoc with many segments is used but the receiving partner is only interested in some of the segments
    the table related to this transation is TBD20
      please go through below blog you have an idea abt that,

  • What's the difference between transport route and transport layer

    what's the difference between transport route and transport layer,Can somebody give me some explaination? thks in advance!

    Hi,
    Transport Layer in ABAP Workbench
        The Change and Transport System supports the distribution of development
        work on large projects across multiple SAP Systems.
        The packages in each development system are grouped into one transport
        layer.
        The transport layer determines whether objects are assigned to a local
        or transportable change request.
    Use
        Each of your SAP development systems is assigned a transport layer as
        its standard transport layer. If you use Extended Transport Control, you
        can assign different standard transport layers to certain clients.
        You can define at the most one consolidation target for each SAP System
    and transport layer.
    When you create a package, it is assigned the standard transport layer
    of the SAP System.
    If you want to assign a different transport layer to a package, you
    require the administration authorization for the Change and Transport
    System.
    The objects in a package automatically have the transport attributes
    defined for the corresponding transport layer.
    o   If a consolidation route originating in their SAP System is defined,
         then the objects are assigned to a transportable request, and
         transported into the consolidation target when it is released.
    o   If a consolidation route is not defined, the objects are assigned to
         a local request, and are not transported.
    Customizing settings are not assigned to a package. They have the
    transport attributes of the standard transport layer of the system or
    client.
    It is best to assign a package a standard transport layer for which a
    consolidation route originating in the development system is defined.
    To display and maintain the transport layers and routes, use the
    Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
    Only the system adminstrator can make changes.
    Caution:
         The tables TSYST, DEVL, TWSYS, TASYS are no longer productive as of
         Release 4.0A and cannot be maintained.
    Regards
    Ben

  • What's the difference between reguler KDE and KDEmod?

    Hello all,
    In two weeks I get my new laptop, which will be capable of running Arch and KDE ( as my current computer isn't, somehow it only runs Fedora w/ Gnome)
    Since I really like Arch and already got it working on Virtualbox, I want to install it on my new laptop. I'd like to get it working with KDE, but I noticed Arch also has KDEmod. I already searched the forums but couldn't really find an answer to my question: What is the difference between regular KDE and KDEmod and which one is better for me to use?
    Thanks in advance!

    Allan, i forgive you for your poor paragraph construction and sorry for me being a bit peeved
    However, i know you have read more from the IRC log than just that one sentence by me...
    Allan wrote:
    From the IRC log, I do not think that conclusion is too far off, especially if you are considering Arch-Stable as your base...  So saying "plain wrong" seems... well...  plain wrong. Especially given the irc log:
    <funkyou> in one sentence: to do what we really want to do, we need a stable platform.
    So why not showing the whole picture and clear this up:
    <funkyou> ok, to start: i think at least some of you have noticed that arch linux is a fine platform for what we want to deliver, but there are some little "annoyances"
    <funkyou> mainly:
    <funkyou> -.so bumps every few weeks
    <funkyou> -the general "freshness"
    <funkyou> -a lot of manual interaction needed (sometimes)
    <funkyou> everyone can see these problems when looking at the forums, _most_ of them are related to updates
    <funkyou> in one sentence: to do what we really want to do, we need a stable platform.
    Makes more sense now? Its not that Arch is too unstable, its just that we cant keep up will all the changes... And this is not Archs "fault" nor anyone elses fault, its just going too fast for us. Most annoying or severe bugs in our tools are there due to upstream updates. And the reasons are not really the .so bumps (which are mostly solved by a simple rebuild) but also constantly changing apis and stuff. This is not a big problem in KDE (they keep their apis clean), but a big one when it comes to other stuff like parted, to give an example. And this is our main problem, we need to constantly adapt our code to upstream changes.
    This even resulted in a repo with modified or "frozen" Arch packages just to keep our liveCD going, and now we are looking for solutions for this problem, and "stable" snapshots seem to be one way... Oh, and if we would do this (there is nothing announced yet), we would do our own snapshot every X months because ArchStable seems to be a dead project. We also considered cooperating with the ArchServer guys, but their stuff is really made for servers, so even while their project is really nice its not really an option for us.
    Well, we'll see what we will do during the next months, now we are still testing and evaluating some solutions... Oh, and people, please stop any "we dont need another ubuntu" complaints...

  • What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords?

    What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords? Any advantages to using one over the other? Do they appear differently in the generated index?
    RH9.0.2.271
    I'm using Webhelp

    Hi there
    When you create a RoboHelp project you end up with many different ancillary files that are used to store different bits of information. Many of these files bear the name you assigned to the project at the time you created it. The index file has the project name and it ends with a .HHK file extension. (HHK meaning HTML Help Keywords)
    Generally, unless you change RoboHelp's settings, you add keywords to this file and associate topics to the keywords via the Index pod. At the time you compile a CHM or generate other types of output, the file is consulted and the index is built.
    As I said earlier, the default is to add keywords to the Index file until you configure RoboHelp to add the keywords to the topics themselves. Once you change this, any keyword added will become a META tag in the topic code. If your keyword is BOFFO, the META tag would look like this:
    <meta name="MS-HKWD" content="BOFFO" />
    When the help is compiled or generated, the Index (.HHK) file is consulted as normal, but any topics containing keywords added in this manner are also added to the Index you end up with. From the appearance perspective, the end user woudn't know the difference or be able to tell. Heck, if all you ever did was interact with the Index pod, you, as an author wouldn't know either. Well, other than the fact that the icons appear differently.
    Operationally, keywords added to the topics themselves may hold an advantage in that if you were to import these topics into other projects, the Index keywords would already be present.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

    What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
    I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
    I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
    Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
    There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
    I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
    So far not doing very well.

    Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

  • What is the difference between jsp :include and server side include

    what is the difference between jsp :include and server side include(request dispatcher include method)????
    i understand that both request dispatcher include method and jsp:include take dynamic data,so when would one use request dispatcher include and when jsp:include.
    Is the usage interchangeable?i believe jsp include is used only for jsp/html but include directive can be used to include servlets ,jsp and html....correct me if i m wrong and
    do suggest if u hav ny other diff in this context...

    The difference really is: in what format do you want your inclusions? If your environment has many Java developers and only a few designers that focus mainly on, say, Flash, that might push you more towards the server-side include() directive. Or, if you have a large set of pages that receive dynamic content that is displayed in a consistent fashion (such as a workflow header area on a page).
    If, on the other hand, you have more web designers, there may be a greater desire to deal in markup rather than Java code. Java developers themselves might prefer to view markup (JSP) that more resembles the eventual output than something occuring in Java code.
    Finally, there are considerations of tiering. While it is totally possible to (and I have previously) implement 'view classes' that render markup or generate layout templates, JSP's offer, IMO, a subtle, psychological advantage. By forcing a developer to work in a different format, markup versus Java source, the separation on view from controller and model becomes a bit easier. It is still possible to make mistakes, but if a developer at some point notices, "Wait, I'm in a JSP, should I be importing a java.sql class?", then the choice to use JSP includes has paid off in spades.
