Overview
Arm Mali technologies have been developed to allow ever-increasing graphics complexity within the thermal limits of mobile devices. These technologies provide significant system-wide bandwidth savings across all formats, to ensure that end users can experience the latest in graphics quality on any device.
If you are a developer using a games engine like Unity or Unreal Engine to develop your software, these resources will provide you with techniques and best practices that you can use to improve the performance of your applications.
Arm also provides a number of graphics development tools of its own, such as the Mali Graphics Debugger and Mali Offline Compiler. These tools help developers get the best out of their applications.
