Graphics, Gaming, and VR blog

ARM is engaging with this standardisation effort as we are keen to help the various XR markets to grow and achieve their full potential.

Greetings, The new kernel 4.12 series has started and for all the ealier adopters who want to use these kernels with Mali Midgard GPU support, here are the patches needed to compile such kernels with the…

Our demo team are working continuously to discover, develop and understand the next generation of gaming technology to ensure our GPUs, video and display processors are more than capable of providing an…

The ARM Mali application developer best practices guide targets an expert developer audience, familiar with Vulkan and OpenGL ES API programming.

In the last few years we've seen huge improvements in the performance of mobile SoC designs, making it possible to treat high-end mobile phones as a target for graphics algorithms previously only possible…

Reflections based on static local cubemaps are a powerful tool to give a better sense of realism to games at an affordable performance cost. This blog is a step-by-step guide on implementing high quality…

One of the major technology segments on everyone’s radar this year is automotive. Huge advances are taking place in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to improve road safety by assessing hazards…

Introduction

Streamline is a great tool to work out where the bottleneck is for your application. It should be your first pass tool in finding out whether you are vertex, fragment, CPU or bandwidth bound…

It has been over a year since we first announced our Vulkan support in MGD and a lot has changed. I thought I would take this time to share with you our current support and our achievements before having…

Vulkan is a low level rendering API which exposes the hardware more directly to the application than the earlier APIs such as OpenGL ES. This enables a much lighter driver, reducing CPU load and improving…

The blog describes in detail the benefits that Vulkan brings to developers in terms of performance, energy consumption and battery life, as well as best practice. We also describe how to integrate the…

At this year’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, I presented our work with Vulkan Multipass at the Khronos Group’s DevDay. A YouTube video of the presentation can be found here: (Please visit…

Our team has updated the Vulkan SDK with new sample code and tutorials. All sample code is released in github, under an MIT license. This latest SDK update includes two new Vulkan features: Vulkan Multipass…

Did you ever wonder what is happening inside your phone, what the different pieces and components are, how they interact together to make this lump of sand and plastic become the true miracle of technology…

Circuit VR is the latest demo which we worked on while also being my first experience developing for a mobile platform. The main purpose of it is to showcase Mobile Multiview and Foveated Rendering whilst…

Debuted at GDC 2017, CircuitVR is our latest mobile VR demo showcasing multiview and foveated rendering, while exploring the inner workings of a mobile phone and seeing how the various components work…

Foveated rendering allows us to use our knowledge of human perception to save significant amounts of computational power.

Today we're launching the ARM Mali-C71 image signal processor (ISP) for automotive applications, the first product in our Mali Camera family.

With the appearance of consumer grade eye tracking devices, foveated rendering is getting increasingly popular. Let's understand what foveated rendering really is.

This week saw the day that myself and my fellow phone geeks have been waiting for, the launch of the much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S8. The successor to the awesome Galaxy S7, which was named Best Smartphone…

Here's a list of unofficial patches required to compile the r16p0 version of the Mali Midgard GPU Kernel device drivers, after including them in 4.11.0-rcX kernels. https://github.com/Miouyouyou/MyyQi…
