Arm Gpu History
The arm mali series of graphics processors offers a range of graphical solutions for your soc.
Arm gpu history. In 2018 we launched the arm mali g76 gpu which at the time boasted our highest ever gpu performance. At arm it s always a challenge topping previous year s premium ip. From premium smartphones to dtvs arm mali g77 is the premium selection for compute intensive mobile devices. Mali offline compiler can now be used to generate reports for devices with mali g57 mali g68 mali g77 and mali g78 gpus based on arm s latest valhall architecture for arithmetic heavy shaders you can now see the instruction cycles split by the arithmetic pipeline they are using.
A graphics processing unit gpu is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device gpus are used in embedded systems mobile phones personal computers workstations and game consoles modern gpus are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics and image. Mali offline compiler 7 2. Our industry leading scalable ip for graphics is able to drive the ultimate visual experience across a wide range of devices scaling from entry level mass market smartphones through to visually stunning high performance smartphones android os based tablets and smarttvs. The evolution of the modern graphics processor begins with the introduction of the first 3d add in cards in 1995 followed by the widespread adoption of the 32 bit operating systems and the.
Like all good gpu stories the earliest history of arm s gpu division goes back to the late 1990s where what would become arm s gpu division was first created. The new mali g76 gpu delivers 30 percent more efficiency and performance density compared to the mali g72 while the new cortex a76 cpu delivers 35 percent year on year performance gains along with 40 percent improved efficiency compared to the cortex a76. Arm s most recent premium product launch showcased ip that are getting users ready for more immersive ar and vr experiences on mobile. Mali offline compiler 7 1 to perform static analysis of gpu shader programs.
Already mali g76 has seen great success delivering on the performance and energy efficiency numbers see our blog from this time last year and being the leading gpu for the latest content on premium mobile devices. Cvt fma and sfu. Mali gpus were developed by falanx microsystems a s which was a spin off of a research project from the norwegian university of science and technology. First generation premium gpu based on the valhall architecture delivering improved performance and energy efficiency on all form factors.
