The OpenGL ARB and Graphic Remedy have crafted an Academic Program to make the full featured gDEBugger OpenGL debug toolkit available for use in your daily work and research – free of charge! gDEBugger is a powerful OpenGL and OpenGL ES debugger and profiler delivering one of the most intuitive OpenGL development toolkits available for graphics application developers. The ARB.Graphic Remedy Academic Program will run for one year during which time any OpenGL developer who is able to confirm they are in academia will receive an Academic gDEBugger License from Graphic Remedy at no cost. This license will be valid for one year and will include all gDEBugger software updates as they become available. Academic licensees may also optionally decide to purchase an annual support contract for the software at a reduced rate. For further information, visit:

gDEBugger is an OpenGL debugger and profiler that traces application activity on top of the OpenGL API and lets programmers see what is happening within the graphics system to help find bugs and optimize application performance. The new V2.3 introduces a Calls Statistics view that allows viewing the number of times each OpenGL function call was executed in the previous frame and its percentage of the total functions execution count. This information helps programmers locate redundant OpenGL function calls, state changes, etc. V2.3 also adds support for GL_ARB_texture_rectangle and GL_NV_texture_rectangle extensions.

gDEBugger, an OpenGL debugger and profiler, traces application activity on top of the OpenGL API, letting programmers see what is happening within the graphics system implementation to find bugs and optimize application performance. The new V2.2 introduces a shader “Edit and Continue” ability which allows you to edit, save and compile shader source code, link and validate programs “on the fly”. This feature saves developer time required for rebuilding and re-running the debugged application. This version also adds support for 8 additional OpenGL extensions. (http://www.gremedy.com)

gDEBugger, an OpenGL debugger and profiler, traces application activity on top of the OpenGL API, letting programmers see what is happening within the graphics system implementation to find bugs and optimize application performance. This major version includes two new profiling views: Performance Graph View and Performance Dashboard View. These two views contain performance counter graphs of gDEBugger, Windows and vendor-specific graphics boards (NVIDIA and 3Dlabs), including: CPU/GPU idle, graphics memory consumption, vertex and fragment processor utilization, number of API function calls per frame, amount of loaded textures and texels, frames per second, and many others. Using the gDEBugger Performance Analysis toolbar together with the new Performance views enables you to easily pinpoint graphics pipeline performance bottlenecks. (http://www.gremedy.com)

gDEBugger, an OpenGL debugger and profiler, traces application activity on top of the OpenGL API letting programmers see what is happening within the graphic system implementation. The new V1.5 introduces a Shader Viewer that displays a list of shading programs and shaders existing in each render context. This viewer displays each shader’s source code and parameters. Also displayed is a list of each program’s attached shaders, active uniforms values and program parameters. In addition, this version supports multithreaded applications, displaying a list of the debugged process threads and thread current render contexts. The Call Stack View now displays the call stack of any chosen thread. (www.gremedy.com)

gDEBugger, an OpenGL API debugger and profiler, traces application activity on top of the OpenGL API allowing programmers to see what is happening within the graphics system implementation. The new V1.4 supports the OpenGL 2.0 standard and many additional extensions. The latest features include stub fragment shader replacement and OpenGL light overrides. These features enable the pinpointing of application graphic performance bottlenecks caused by either fragment shaders or light-related calculations. In addition, gDEBugger contains a powerful break-on-detected error mechanism that stops execution of the debugged application when detected errors occur. The texture viewer now displays images and properties of multi-textures.

GLIntercept is an OpenGL debugger/logger for shaders, images, and function calls. Version 0.42 adds improved support for runtime editing of GLSL shaders. This release also includes initial OpenGL 2.0 support for logging and creating frame buffer composition movies in order to visually inspect how a scene is created.

gDEBugger, an OpenGL API debugger, traces application activity on top of the OpenGL API, letting programmers see what is happening within the graphic system implementation. The new V1.3 is capable of independently enabling and disabling graphics pipeline stages to pinpoint the location of graphics performance bottlenecks. These new gDebugger features include: Ignore all OpenGL Draw Commands; Force Single-Pixel View Port; and Force 2×2 Stub Textures. By observing application performance using the heads-up FPS display when turning off individual stages, programmers can determine the exact location of bottlenecks. (www.gremedy.com)
