Dear Experts,
I have some basic graphics questions here, my interest is basically with ARM MALI 400 MP2.
Please provide your inputs
3 . Does the GPU works like some state machine processing the commands generated by OpenGL/ES APIs? 4. Does Mali 400MP has any Instruction-set like ARM Cortex CPUs? I think few GPGPUs have like NVIDIA, ATI/AMD.
5. What happens to Shader programs after they gets compiled? the compiled out put is some instructions for Shader-HW? Or some commands OR what ?
6.How the parallelism is achieved in ARM MALI 400 MP GPU? Does it because we have multiple Pixel processors?
I am not interested with GPGPU or GPComputing , Interested only Graphics content rendering case. I am trying to understand how GPU is performing better than CPU for graphics content creation? does GPU do some SIMD instruction execution like DSP?
Thanks,
Ravinder Are

Thank you, that is what I was looking for.
I guess my assumptions where considerable in the beginning of openGL, where the HW was released before the first version of the API.
Anyway, this topic is now clearer to me!
