SciTech SNAP Graphics IES - solving the "device driver crisis"

This white paper describes the SciTech System Neutral Access Protocol device driver architecture, or SciTech SNAP for short. SciTech SNAP represents a new paradigm for device driver development that is radically different from traditional methods. The SciTech SNAP driver architecture is the result of over a decade of research and development by SciTech into solving the problems that plague traditional device driver development. The SciTech SNAP approach to solving these problems is centered around a unique Hardware Abstraction Layer (or HAL), combined with pre-compiled binaries that run on any operating system within a single processor family. SciTech SNAP takes the concept of sharing source code and radically extends to sharing fully tested and certified binary portable driver images. Read More
