Features

1.High performance 3D rendering

GT comes with a 3D engine to acceleration graphics including intuitive GUI, 3D maps and games.

2.Smallest-in-class gate count

The smallest-in-class OpenGL ES-conformant IP core enables advanced and high performance graphics in a variety of SoC or ASIC for embedded systems.

3.Less power consuming

Introducing the design approach targeting the smallest-in-class gate count and power consumption, advanced graphics rendering performance and small power consumption come together to make GT an IP of choice for mobile devices including handsets.

4.The hardwired approach for advanced performance and quality graphics

The high-load graphics tasks including transforming, lighting, rasterizing and pixel processing are executed by the hardware to allow high performance/quality graphics even in embedded systems with less CPU load.

5.Conformance

GT supports and conforms to the Khronos Group standards, OpenGL ES. Adopting the industrial standard API makes GT friendly to PC or smartphone applications and allows use of standard-supporting middlewares and development environments, which will securely reduce the application development time and cost at customers end.

6.Easier system integration

GT as well as other GSHARK-TAKUMI IP cores is provided in synthesizable data for independence on the semiconductor process technologies. Interface to the customer logic also supports the industrial standards and is provided in a customizable format, allowing easier modification to the customer design asset. For example, GSHARK-TAKUMI is easily integrated to the customer SoC interfacing the standard bus system such as AXI to the customer's original one.
