  14. Driving Needs for OpenGL ES • Cell phone industry is the first major adopter Generate and port compelling 3D gaming content across multiple platforms. Needs a 3D development ecosystem founded on a cross-platform API Well-designed hardware acceleration for 3D can save 90% of power for graphics– increasing battery life GAMES CONTENT POWER SIZE QUALITY Low-cost chips and coresComplete software implementation at less than 50KB Small screens need high-quality processing per pixel beyond the ability of CPUs - driving the need for an 3D hardware acceleration API

  15. OpenGL ES API Standard • The industry-standard, small-footprint subset of OpenGL • Created with the blessing and cooperation of the OpenGL ARB • Powerful, low-level API with full functionality for 3D games • Available on all key platforms • Royalty Free!! Feedback and Ratification ARB EmbeddedFocus WorkstationFocus Eliminate Redundancy Small footprint e.g. 50KB software engines Eliminate Workstation Functionality

  16. EGL EGL – Increasing 3D Code Portability Operating system calls access platform resources - memory, processor threads etc. - but makes code non-portable ApplicationCode Native Operating System OpenGL ES provides portable, cross platform, abstracted access to the 3D pipeline 3D Hardware Acceleration EGL abstracts graphics-related system resource calls – such as accessing screen windows. Makes 3D-related code cross-platform portable. Similar to GLX/AGL/WGL

  17. Fixed and Float Profiles • Support for high-volume devices systems with no floating point is key • But need to prevent fragmentation between fixed and float applications • Common-Lite profile replaces all floating point calls with fixed point • Enabling applications to use just 16.16 integer math • Common Profile is a proper superset of Common-Lite • Has BOTH fixed and float versions of all entry points • Common-Lite applications run without modification on Common Profile Full functionality – with both float and fixed point entry points for code portability between profiles Full functionality – but just fixed point entry points to API for integer-only platforms CommonProfile Common-Lite Profile
