This project demonstrates how Linux decouples hardware-accelerated computational pipelines from visual displays, a technique fundamental to modern server infrastructures and automated continuous integration testing pipelines. Conclusion

Use perf to measure how many nanoseconds your printf adds to the shader compile time.

: Loop through available connectors to find one with a status of DRM_MODE_CONNECTED and select its native resolution.

Recompile Mesa (the open-source GPU driver stack) with a custom log that prints every time a shader is compiled.

Mesa sits between OpenGL/Vulkan and the kernel driver. Debugging it requires rebuilding the beast.
