Samsung experts have developed single-chip GPU for mobile platforms supporting OpenCL, OpenGL and DirectX

At a recent event, ISSCC, Samsung has reported on the development of GPU with support for OpenCL, OpenGL and DirectX, designed for integration into the single-chip mobile platform architecture ARM v7.

This is the first GPU Samsung, which will be able to fulfill not only their immediate problems, but also to help the CPU on the challenges associated with parallel computing, that is, it comes to GPGPU.

According to estimates Samsung, decoding and encoding high definition video stream in 1080p at 30 f / s, requires CPU, running at 1.6 GHz. A GPU copes with this task, working at a frequency of 160 MHz. The difference in power consumption is proportional to the frequency.

The maximum clock frequency of GPU, created by specialists Samsung, is 333 MHz. According to the developers, its performance reaches 72,5 GFLOPS.

Make notes by optimizing energy consumption and availability of hardware accelerators, such as a decoder that supports many formats. Graphics processor is designed for production of 32-nm process technology HKMG.
