Samsung licenses ARM's software to render 2D graphics
Bangalore: To enable better graphical experience in its mobile handsets, Samsung has licensed ARM Mali-SVG-t. The software that was developed by ARM will enable clear graphical rendering of 2D objects, easy scaling for different display resolutions and zoom factors. ARM designs chips and provides some of the software tools for the chips. Samsung by licensing this software joins the list of other handset manufacturers, who are already making using of this tool. Mobile operators' specifications are increasingly demanding SVG-t (Scalable Vector Graphics Tiny) compliant scalable 2D graphics capability across different platforms. "ARM delivers graphics system elements, to ensure compatibility across the stack and enabling partners like Samsung to develop better consumer products," said Lance Howarth, General Manager of Media Processing Division, ARM. ARM Mali-SVG-t technology provides a middleware layer compliant with the SVG-t 1.2 specification that is both optimized for ARM processors and able to take advantage of OpenVG compliant graphics acceleration technology, such as the ARM Mali family of graphics processing units (GPUs).
