If Mali Graphics Debugger could provide some information about the load of GPU

Hi sir,

Hope the following introduction will help you. for Android games, it belongs to application software. It can work well with Freescale powerful dual core board.

Because I ever have customers who use dual core freescale board to support their game application device which performs very well.

Our freescale GPU is Vivante GC2000, you can check it from freescale official website. Or if you have some other questions about this, you can also write to my email, hope I and our Technique team can give you some support and help.

Of course Mali GPU is powerful, but if your games do not have too high requirements on GPU, I believe that Freescale GPU is enough for your need.

Hope my above information can give you some support.

We are a professional ARM board Manufacturer and cooperated with TI, Freescale, ATMEL and other popular processors.So hope we can support you.

Following I just take freescale as a example to give you some better impression.

We have Freescale Evaluation Board, which has high performance and long lifetime. Also many of my customers feedback to me that they like its richful interfaces and performance. Here I can share some brief parameters to you. Hope that it can help you better understand it.

Hi Kevin,

Generally we'd suggest looking at something like Streamline to find out what areas of your system are heavily loaded when running your game, and therefore find out what areas to optimize to reduce power consumption. For some advice on best practices to ensure efficient use of the GPU, you can refer to the Mali Optimization Guide, the current version of which is available at http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0555c/DUI0555C_mali_optimization_guide.pdf.

Hope this helps,

Chris
