| 7 | Mesa implements various APIs, including `OpenGL`_, `OpenGL ES`_,
|
|---|
| 8 | `Vulkan`_ and `OpenCL`_. Even though Mesa implements these APIs, the
|
|---|
| 9 | implementation isn't formally conformant on all combinations of drivers
|
|---|
| 10 | and hardware. `Khronos`_ maintains lists of conformant implementations
|
|---|
| 11 | for each of their APIs, as well as `trademark details`_.
