Background
The Media Processing Division of ARM produces hardware and software
technology for mobile and embedded devices. Our Mali Graphics Processors
(GPUs) have an advanced, highly programmable architecture for accelerating
graphics and general-purpose compute tasks, specifically tuned for high
performance and low energy consumption. Our OpenGL ES, OpenCL and OpenVG
drivers support cutting-edge gaming and state-of-the-art user interfaces on
operating systems such as Linux and Android. To see the current Mali GPUs in
action take a look at the Mali Developer Center
