Think Silicon to Unveil Industry's First RISC-V 3D GPU at Embedded World 2022
ATHENS, Greece, June 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Think Silicon, a leader in ultra-low power graphics IP, will showcase the industry's first RISC-V-based GPU the NEOX G-Series & A-Series at Embedded World 2022. The company will also introduce the NEMA|pico-VG, the latest in the NEMA|GPU-Series for MCU-driven SoCs which supports rich vector graphics and improves system efficiency by offloading CPU utilization up to 95%.
NEOX G-Series & A-Series A New Era of Smart GPU Architectures
NEOX| G (graphics) & A (deep learning accelerator) Series IP represent a new era of smart GPU architectures with programable compute shaders running on a real-time operating system (RTOS) and supported by light-weight graphics and machine learning frameworks. The heavily multi-threaded system can be easily customized for graphics, machine learning, vision/video processing, and general-purpose compute workloads through configurable programming libraries using the same hardware blocks. The new offering serves as a GPU platform to be implemented in 32-bit SoCs addressing a myriad of applications including next-generation smartwatches, augmented reality (AR) eyewear, video for surveillance and entertainment, and smart displays for point-of-sale/point-of-interaction terminals. NEOX IP pre-evaluation systems are available for customer testing and Think Silicon will be demonstrating 3D/2D graphics and machine learning applications at Embedded World.
NEMA|pico-VG High-Performance Graphics for Power-, Size- and Cost-Constrained Products
Think Silicon's new NEMA|pico-VG GPU is the latest addition of high-performance and ultra-low-power graphics for displays in battery-driven, power-constrained products. The multi-core, vector and 2.5D raster graphics GPU supports clock frequencies from 90-500MHz, 70 fps and 800x600 resolution in a tiny silicon area of 0.21mm2. Combining hardware accelerated vector and raster graphics in a single IP solution gives developers the freedom and flexibility to choose the best rendering technique based on the graphics content being displayed. The NEMA|pico-VG uses smart compression algorithms to efficiently manage the valuable memory space, thereby reducing the CPU utilization by up to 95% compared to software-only solutions. The combination of RTL hardware blocks and software make the NEMA|pico-VG the ideal high-performance graphics sub-system in power-, size- and cost-constrained products such as smartwatches, fitness/GPS trackers and smart home devices. The NEMA|pico-VG production-ready RTL is expected to begin shipping to customers in Q4 2022.
