Chinese Version 中文版：瑞芯微电子打破现状 Today at SIGGRAPH, ARM will be showcasing the graphics capabilities of its highest-end product, the ARM Mali-T760 GPU, available to the public for the first time in the shape…

This blog demonstrates an effective and low cost technique to implement reflections when developing games for mobile devices.

Chinese Version中文版：Atmel携手Mali 共攀高峰Le Tour de France is arguably the world’s greatest cycling road race and has been extremely successful on the streets of…well…France. That was until a few weeks ago when…

This is the third and last part of this series that explains how to analyze the Epic Citadel demo using our ARM® Mali™ GPU tools. In Part 1 we profiled the application using using DS-5 Stre…

Performance analysis and optimization have always been key topics when it comes to mobile applications, in particular for game developers. The task of bringing console class graphics to mobile platforms…

I have just returned from a fortnight spent hopping around Asia in support of a series of ARM hosted events we call the Multimedia Seminars, which took place in Seoul (27th June), Taipei (1st July) and…

This week saw the exciting launch of the latest ARM® Mali™-T628 MP4 GPU based product, Huawei Technologies Honor 6. With its Hisilicon Kirin 920 processor based on ARM big.LITTLE™ processing…

Modern games and applications really push the boundaries of real-time graphics and user interfaces on mobile and to do this they need all the components of the system to work together to provide the performance…

Chinese Version 中文版：[原创翻译]GPU通用计算有兴趣吗？你有多种选择！The most notable addition to OpenGL® ES when version 3.1 was announced at GDC earlier this year was Compute Shaders. Whilst similar to vertex and fragment…

Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) is a powerful tool in signal and image processing. One very valuable optimization technique for this type of algorithm is vectorization. This article discusses the motivation…

This year at GDC Khronos announced the latest version of the OpenGL® ES API. OpenGL ES 3.1 is taking a step up from OpenGL ES 3.0 to enable new, fascinating mobile graphics content. With headline features…

Previous blog in the series: Mali Performance 2: How to Correctly Handle Framebuffers This week I'm finishing off my slight diversion into the land of application framebuffer management with an analysis…

At SIGGRAPH 2014 we presented the benefits of the OpenGL ES 3.0 API and the more newly introduced OpenGL ES 3.1 extension. Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression format (ASTC) is one of the biggest introductions…

This week I look at how, and more importantly when, the Mali driver stack turns OpenGL ES API activity into the hardware workloads needed for rendering.

In his book "How music works", David Byrne points out that music is created to fit a given context: music that would sound great in a symphony hall would likely sound unconvincing in a stadium…

This post is to help you write a simple program with compute shaders. I hope this blog will help you to create more advanced applications based on this technology.

This guide will show how to get ARM DS-5 support working on a production Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) devices, with minimal modifications.

ABSTRACTThis guide will show how to get ARM® DS-5™ Streamline™ support working on a production Google Nexus 10 device, with minimal modifications.The resulting files generated will be a gatord, gator.ko…

April 1, 2014 was the date for the Israel Machine Vision Conference (IMVC) in Tel Aviv.  I’m always slightly wary of attending events held on April 1.  I never know for sure that after all the queuing…

Mali performance: In this blog we will look at debugging issues around macro-scale pipelining, the means by which we keep the GPU busy and some of the common reasons for that frame level pipeline to stall…

ARM has published a set of OpenGL ES extensions. We explain what led us to develop them and show how they can be used to implement common graphics algorithms more efficiently.
