LLVMpipe is a software rasterizer within the Mesa 3D graphics library that utilizes the LLVM compiler infrastructure to perform rendering entirely on the CPU. It acts as a software fallback when a dedicated GPU or its drivers are unavailable or malfunctioning, allowing OpenGL applications to run without hardware acceleration. Essentially, LLVMpipe takes over the rendering process when the GPU can't or shouldn't be used. | [https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/llvmpipe.html LLVMpipe] is a software rasterizer within the Mesa 3D graphics library that utilizes the LLVM compiler infrastructure to perform rendering entirely on the CPU.
