ARM Community: ARM Graphics Invites You to Techcon: OpenCL and More - ARM Community

It’s an exciting time to be involved with graphics processing as the industry undergoes yet more rapid change with the ever increasing performance demands to meet the expectations of the “eye-candy” focussed consumer and extending capabilities of the hardware and the software to meet those raised expectations. The recent introduction of OpenCL 1.1 by Khronos has opened the realm of visual computing onto an ever wider portfolio of devices and we at ARM are certainly part of the forefront of that. Follow some of the ARM team’s recent Open CL debate in Tom Olsson’s blog Why OpenCL Will Be in Your Smartphone in 2014 and Jem Davies’ response GPU Computing, the OpenCL debates and performance measurement.

The ARM Technology Conference (Techcon) on November 9-11 in the Santa Clara Convention Center down in Silicon Valley is the place where the ARM community gathers to talk about technology and its impact – and on behalf of the Media Processing Division at ARM I would like to invite you to join us there to both listen to what is being said and more importantly see what is happening in the world of Mali Graphics, such as this



Hope you can make it – see you there, it’s going to be fun.

Ian Smythe, Director of Marketing - Media Processing Division, ARM, After dabbling in sonar and other DSP stuff, he went on to spend over a decade in the semiconductor industry. Ian's wife calls him a geek, but the tech guys at ARM really know he's "only" the marketing guy - but we all know that visual processing is where the cool stuff is. Ian's challenge is to ensure that everyone uses ARM Mali technology for their latest and greatest multimedia products.
