Abstract

OpenGL SC (OpenGL for Safety Critical) is the safety-critical variation of the famous OpenGL 3D graphics library. The latest version of OpenGL SC was on release in the year of 2016, as the OpenGL SC 2.0. To provide the full features of this new standard, we need its new implementations. As the first step, we here present the way of emulating it over the widely used desktop OpenGL. It is the first literature on the implementation of the new graphics standard, at least to the best of our knowledge. We present the detailed analysis and design of the emulator.
