Orbis OS
The PlayStation 4 system software is the updatable firmware and operating system of the PlayStation 4. The operating system is Orbis OS, based on FreeBSD 9. Technology System The native operating system of the PlayStation 4 is Orbis OS, which is a fork of FreeBSD version 9.0 which was released on January 12, 2012. The PlayStation 4 features two graphics APIs, a low-level API named '' Gnm'' and a high-level API named '' Gnmx''. Most developers start with Gnmx, which wraps around Gnm, and in turn manages the more esoteric GPU details. This can be a familiar way to work if the developers are used to platforms like Direct3D 12. Another key area of the game is its programmable pixel shaders. Sony's own ''PlayStation Shader Language'' (PSSL) was introduced to the PlayStation 4. It has been suggested that the PlayStation Shader Language is very similar to the HLSL standard in DirectX 12, with just subtle differences that could be eliminated mostly through preprocessor macros.
