Graphics, Gaming, and VR blog

I start my blog series with a subseries on technology that I know and come to love best - OpenCL from the Khronos Group.

In this first blog of a series about GPU Compute we look at the one of the biggest challenges facing the future development and evolution of smart devices.Isn’t technology wonderful?  It’s incredible to…

If you're looking for a short summary of the ARM-related news from GDC, look no further than here! The hugely exciting Expo Floor has opened, the attendees are flooding in, the major announcements have…

In this blog, I’ll give a personal perspective on what OpenGL ES 3.1 is and why it's important.

Here at ARM we continuously work to increase the quality of our driver software. Thorough testing is a significant proportion of our driver production process and its efficiency enables us to deliver drivers…

In this blog I will finish the construction of this abstract machine, forming the final component: a stereotypical Mali Midgard GPU programmable core.

Welcome to my series of blogs on engineering software for accelerated systems!  Special-purpose hardware designed to execute certain computations (prominently, GPUs designed to execute graphics computations…

中文版 Chinese Version:“基准测试代表什么？”I’m asked quite a lot about how I feel about benchmarks. When I sit down to write these blogs I usually go searching for suitable quotes. For this one I found…

Continuing on from It’s Just Criminal! Examples of Performance Thrown Away in Real Apps (Part 1) lets look at more criminal behavior and for me what has to be the crime of the year... “Possession…

Every time I stand up at GDC and give a presentation on how to improve the performance of mobile applications there is always one person in the crowd that fills in the feedback form with the following…

Time and time again when I’m presenting at events I am asked the same questions: What does the future of mobile content look like? How much performance will content developers need? When will mobile devices…

You know those deep questions you get in philosophy like "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?", "What is the sound of one hand clapping?", "Why is there…

I have just returned from my third Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona and I have no doubt this year’s has been for me the best one so far! We are continuing to see a strong trend in independent third…

This blog continues the development of this abstract machine, looking at the tile-based rendering model of the Arm Mali GPU family. I’ll assume you've read the blog on pipelining; if you haven’t I suggest…

Time sure flies when you’re having fun! It’s been more than two years since SIGGRAPH Asia 2011 in Hong Kong, where I had the pleasure of unveiling our Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression…

Last week I had the great opportunity to deliver a talk at the Electronic Imaging Conference in San Francisco. The conference track was introduced by Michael Frank of LG Electronics, who gave a very interesting…

Chinese Version中文版Today ARM launched the ARM® Mali™-DP500 Display Processor, the first high specification Display Processor that ARM has developed. Alongside the Display Processor itself, ARM…

Today the ARM® Mali™-DP500 Display Processor was launched alongside the ARM Cortex®-A17.We are all aware that the resolution of screens is increasing: from Full HD smartphones and Quad…

We will explore the fundamental macro-scale architectural structures and behaviors developers have to worry about, how this translates into possible problems which can be triggered by content.

While there has been tremendous progress in developing wireless technologies to meet the growing demands for high-bandwidth applications, video decoder applications have traditionally consumed a substantial…

Ordinarily the blog posts I write relate directly to whatever I have been working on recently. This one was inspired, or rather, specifically requested from my friend and colleague in Developer Relations…
