Why the validation layers?Unlike OpenGL, Vulkan drivers don't have a global context, don't maintain a global state and don't have to validate inputs from the application side. The goal is to reduce CPU…

IntroductionDevelopers have used reflections extensively in traditional game development and we can therefore expect the same trend in mobile VR games.  In a previous blog I discussed the importance…

The recently released Mali™-G71 GPU is our most powerful and efficient graphics processor to date and is all set to take next generation high performance devices by storm. The Mali family of GPU…

This document demonstrates how to call the JNI, through a procedure : written with the GNU ARM Assembly syntax, assembled and stored in a ELF shared library, executed by an Android system through an…

Time is running out. Don't miss the opportunity to get an EagleSoC development kit featuring a Cortex-M3 PSoC 5LP device.I posted about this a couple of weeks ago and there is still time to back the…

The ISC16 event occurred last week in Frankfurt, Germany. ISC stands for International Super-computing and while ARM is known for its energy-efficient, mobile CPU cores, we are beginning to make some waves…

Here's a little demonstration about how to generate a library, with an assembly procedure that will be called through the Java Native Interface, using an Android project as an example. The procedure will…

This document demonstrates how to generate a library containing an assembly procedure that will be called through the Java Native Interface, within an Android project written in Java as an example. The…
