IGL - A safety-critical, DO-178 certifiable implementation of an OpenGL software renderer

IGL®

A safety-critical, DO-178 certifiable implementation of an OpenGL® software renderer

A highly flexible graphics renderer, IGL® offers all the benefits of a software-driven OpenGL® graphics engine. Efficient and with a small footprint, IGL gives application developers a wide range of implementation options for providing safety-critical real-time graphics on many different systems without the need for a dedicated GPU.

IGL graphics renderer architecture - ENSCO Avionics
  • Reduce SWaP — Reduce Size, Weight and Power of your avionics hardware without sacrificing high-quality OpenGL graphics.
  • Eliminate hardware obsolescence — Remove the dependency on ever-changing graphics processing hardware.
  • Radiation hardened environments — IGL is ideal for display requiring radiation tolerance.
  • Reduces life cycle cost — Eliminates the need for extra hardware and certification costs by using a software graphics renderer.

IGL Advantages
