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…

Looking towards a sustainable and connected future I grew up in South Africa and got my science education there, so when I heard about Data Science Africa I was naturally keen to get involved. Their mission…

The data center is being re-architected to automate and accelerate the delivery of services while accommodating the massive influx of data, to achieve this IT modernization hardware underpinnings are being…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Today ARM releases a new version of ARM Development Suite, DS-5.27. We have added new IP support, OS awareness and several other exciting features.

The modern automotive cockpit is sophisticated and loaded with smart technologies; however, it has little value if the driver finds it difficult to use. Existing smart in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) interfaces…

Soshun Arai, Arm and Mark Sykes, Recognition Technologies discuss the next generation of embedded voice for the automotive cockpit. Recognition Technologies is a partner of Arm and their RecoMadeEasy®…

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…

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…

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…

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

The drone copter is still a prisoner. While ARM engineer Matt Du Puy and his fellow climbers are rotating between camps on Kanchenjunga preparing to ascend the world’s third-highest peak, a key new addition…

April 25, 2017 will be remembered by developers as a liberation day, because it’s the day Linaro announced the HiKey 960 board from HiSilicon. This innovative board was designed to resolve one of the persistent…

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

It has long been common knowledge that particle strikes can flip bits in memory arrays and disrupt code execution. This is a common event in space, is somewhat common when travelling on aircraft and will…
