Triton: DirectX 11 Driver for QEMU
In the prequel, we introduced Neptune, a Direct3D protocol forwarding layer for VirtIO. Neptune allowed us to serialize Direct3D API calls across the hypervisor boundary and this allowed us to run Wine games on a Linux guest with a Linux host faster than with DXVK directly in the guest. Admittedly, the payoff there…
