Mentor Graphics Announces Nucleus Graphics and Linux Platform for ARM Mali GPUs
30 7월 2009 - 7:00PM
Business Wire
Mentor Graphics® Corporation (NASDAQ:
MENT) today announced the integration of its Nucleus® Graphics User Interface (GUI) with the
ARM Mali graphics processing unit (GPU) family of acceleration
solutions. The joint platform consists of Embedded Linux running on
an ARM1176 processor with an integrated Mali-200 GPU. The tight
integration of the Nucleus Graphics GUI solution with ARM’s
optimized OpenGL ES device driver enables embedded designers to
easily utilize the power of the GPU to deliver products with more
compelling user interfaces.
By integrating the Nucleus Graphics GUI
solution with the Mali-200 GPU, it is now possible for graphic
artists and usability specialists to exploit the potential of this
advanced 3D accelerator. The Nucleus Graphics product abstracts the
complexity of the OpenGL ES API to enable anyone to incorporate
sophisticated 3D effects such as lighting, spinning, fading,
twisting and zooming into their GUI designs without any programming
knowledge.
“OpenGL ES is a powerful but complex API
and few GUI technologies available today are designed from the
outset to accommodate 3D effects and layouts. As a result, getting
the best out of a 3D accelerator has generally required a lot of
manual embedded programming,” said Ian Smythe, director of
marketing, Media Processing Division, ARM. “With this development,
the Nucleus Graphics GUI solution enables anyone designing a GUI to
make full use of Mali graphics acceleration capabilities.”
“The ARM Mali family of acceleration
solutions is ideal for embedded systems and it is the perfect
platform for Nucleus Graphics,” said Glenn Perry, Mentor Graphics
Embedded Systems Division general manager. “With our partnership
with ARM, I expect to see a wide range of more dynamic and visually
compelling products across the automotive, consumer, medical, and
industrial markets over the next couple of years.”
The ARM Mali-200 3D GPU incorporates a
fully programmable vertex and fragment shader architecture, making
it ideally suited to a range of applications – from advanced
user interfaces and browsing experiences to console-quality gaming.

Graphical User Interface Targets
Embedded Devices
Nucleus Graphics is a 3D graphical user
interface solution targeted specifically for embedded devices. It
combines a highly optimized run time engine with a drag-and-drop
GUI design tool, permitting compelling new embedded GUIs to be
created, tested, refined and deployed quickly, without the need to
modify any of the underlying application software. This “code free”
approach affords greater differentiation without incurring the
costs and delays normally associated with major GUI modifications.
