Does Skia support HW acceleration?

There are two ways Skia can take advantage of HW.

1. Subclass SkCanvas

Since all drawing calls go through SkCanvas, those calls can be redirected to a different graphics API. SkGLCanvas has been written to direct its drawing calls to OpenGL. See src/gl/

2. Custom bottleneck routines

There are sets of bottleneck routines inside the blits of Skia that can be replace on a platform in order to take advantage of specific CPU features. One such example is the NEON SIMD instructions on v7 devices. See src/opts/
