Company Profile for Vivante Corporation.Vivante Corporation is an embedded graphics technology company licensing 2D and 3D Graphics Processing Unit See GPU. (GPU GPU: see secret police. (Graphics Processing Unit) A specialized logic chip devoted to rendering 2D or 3D images. Display adapters contain one or more GPUs for fast graphics rendering. ) solutions to semiconductor solution providers, targeting the high definition home entertainment, embedded mobile, image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished , and automotive display/entertainment markets. Vivante's GPU product line includes GPU cores, which are being deployed into a broad range of consumer and automotive electronics devices including high-definition digital home entertainment, mobile devices like cell phone application processors and automotive cluster/console displays. The recent trend in graphics hardware has been to replace fixed functionality with programmability in areas that have grown exceedingly complex (e.g., vertex processing and fragment processing Fragment processing is a term in computer graphics referring to a collection of operations applied to fragments generated by the rasterization operation in the rendering pipeline. ). The OpenGL[R] Shading Language A shading language is a special programming language adapted to easily map on shader programming. Those kind of languages usually have special data types like color and normal. (GLSL GLSL GL Shading Language GLSL Green Light Stimulated Luminescence GLSL Open Graphics Library Shading Language ) has been designed to allow application programmers to express the processing that occurs at those programmable points of the OpenGL pipeline. Independently compilable units written in this language are called shaders. A program is a set of shaders that is compiled and linked together. Vivante's GPU technology is architected from the ground up to deliver a high-precision, true unified shader implementation that maximizes graphics performance and quality delivered per milliwatt mil·li·watt n. Abbr. mW A unit of power equal to one thousandth (10-3) of a watt. Noun 1. milliwatt - a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt of system power consumption. Semiconductor vendors who have selected Vivante as their GPU supplier are differentiating their products with: - Robust graphics application support enabled by Vivante's high performance true unified shader architecture with full support for GLSL without exceptions. - Maximum programmer flexibility including high-precision support for long instructions, dynamic branching in the pixel shader See vertex shader. , and non-constant varying indexing. - Extended battery life and energy savings enabled by the highest performance per milliwatt in each performance class. - Vivante's GC500 is the smallest OpenGL ES OpenGL ES (OpenGL for Embedded Systems) is a subset of the OpenGL 3D graphics API designed for embedded devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, and video game consoles. 2.0-compliant GPU available today. Significantly silicon area savings have been observed in competitive comparisons in each performance class. - Support for industry standard application programming interfaces (APIs) OpenGL ES 2.0, including all extensions, DirectX[R], OpenVG[R], and OpenGL ES 1.1. - Rapid hardware integration. Vivante's licensees quickly and consistently reach target frequency and optimal final silicon area using provided reference implementation packages for Cadence[TM] and Synopsys[TM] design tool environments. Vivante Corporation is a private company incorporated in California and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California Sunnyvale ([sʌniveil]) is a city in Santa Clara County, California, United States. It is one of the major cities that make up the Silicon Valley. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 131,760. , with a subsidiary in Shanghai, China.
