This year’s ARM TechCon conference in Santa Clara sees ARM disclosing details of its next processor architecture; ARMv8-R.  This eighth-generation ARM architecture is already established as …

I often receive questions such as “How can I render shadows with OpenGL® ES 2.0 without an available depth texture extension?”; “How can I render a simple text with OpenGL ES 2.0?”; or “Simple text rendering…

This content was initially posted 10 July 2013 on blogs.arm.comWe are pleased to announce the release of VIXL, a dynamic code generation toolkit for ARMv8 that we hope will enable JIT creators to rapidly…

In 2011 I attended the ARM Global Engineering Conference, where I saw a presentation about a new algorithm used in texture compression. I expected it to be about colour space conversions and perceptual…

At the Develop 2012 conference in Brighton I gave a talk about how we achieved some of the effects in our brand new (at the time) demo Timbuktu. As I repeated this presentation at a number of developer…

This document describes an approach for rendering shadows in realtime for mobile devices using OpenGL® ES 2.0 which does not support depth texture unless the OES_depth_texture extension is available.

How to get the most out of the memory interface  The choice of DDR memory is a key factor in determining the cost and power of the smartphone. Low cost smartphones typically use a single 32-bit memory…

ARM products in server and networking? Yes, it’s happening and AMBA® 5 CHI is a big part of making that happen. The AMBA 5 CHI protocol enables the latest ARMv8 architecture Cortex®-A50…
