White Paper: SciTech SNAP Graphics IES Edition - An Accelerated 32-Bit Graphics BIOS for the Industrial Embedded Systems Market

Overview 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.
