With support for 2D vector graphics through OpenVG 1.1 and 3D graphics through OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0, Mali-200 provides a complete graphics acceleration platform based on the open standards provided by the Khronos Group. Mali is still the only GPU architecture to achieve OpenGL ES 2.0 conformance at 1080 pixels.
The provision of an industry standard AMBA AXI interface makes integration of the Mali-200 GPU into system-on-Chip designs straight-forward, and also provides a well-defined interface for connecting to other bus architectures.
A wide range of 3rd party applications, middleware and tools support through the ARM Mali ecosystem program. Pre-validated with other ARM hardware and software products, as well as a wide array of 3rd party applications & content.
Mali-200 application areas include wireless/mobile, navigation, set-top box/DTV, portable media players, mobile internet devices and many more.
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
Advanced tile-based deferred rendering and local buffering of intermediate pixel states | Reduced memory bandwidth overhead and lower power consumption |
Efficient alpha blending of multiple layers in hardware | Unlimited number of blended layers without additional bandwidth consumption or unexpected performance drops |
Full Scene Anti-Aliasing (FSAA) using rotated grid multi sampling | Significantly higher quality and performance than alternative oversampling methods |
Integrated MMU based on standard ARM MMU | Allows virtualization of GPU memory resources and fine-grained memory protection |
Fully autonomous GPU | Enables maximum parallelization of CPU and GPU tasks |
Independent CPU and GPU power management | Maximize battery life, minimize heat dissipation |
Fully optimized production quality software drivers | Maximum efficiency with low memory fragmentation, reduced integration time and cost, reduced support burden |
*Mali GPUs noted as based on a published Khronos Specification are conformant, or expected to pass the Khronos Conformance Testing Process. Current conformance status can be found at http://www.khronos.org/conformance.
