Swiftshader 4.0 -

SwiftShader is a high-performance, CPU-based implementation of the OpenGL ES and Direct3D 9 graphics APIs. It allows 3D graphics to be rendered entirely on the central processor (CPU) without requiring a dedicated graphics processing unit (GPU). It is essentially a software rasterizer that translates graphics commands into x86 instructions.

If you need the exact source code or build instructions for the original 4.0 release, I can point you toward historical repository archives. Would you like that? swiftshader 4.0
