Title:

Low power graphics/computing architecture for embedded systems

Abstract:

Recent mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets, adopt 3D graphics accelerator (GPU) core into application processor to enforce user experience with advanced user interfaces and to enable high quality game application based on 3D graphics on handheld devices. Mobile GPU is also applied not only for graphics rendering but for general computing acceleration by using GPU arithmetic resources. This presentation shows the survey of GPU and GPGPU architecture trends and pickups DMP low power GPU architecture which includes multicore approach and GPGPU application case studies.
