OpenGL ES Logo

OpenGL® ES is a royalty-free, cross-platform API for rendering advanced 2D and 3D graphics on embedded and mobile systems - including consoles, phones, appliances and vehicles. It consists of a well-defined subset of desktop OpenGL suitable for low-power devices, and provides a flexible and powerful interface between software and graphics acceleration hardware. Read more about OpenGL ES at the Khronos homepage.

ARM Mali GPU demonstration with OpenGL ES 3.1

 

Arm Mali GPUs demonstrate the features of OpenGL® ES 3.1.  One significant new addition is the compute shaders feature which will bring increased performance and power efficiency to the OpenGL ES API. See it demonstrated with a flag physics demo.

Occlusion Culling improves mobile game performance

 

Occlusion Culling improves mobile game performance with OpenGL ES 3.1 and Compute Shaders by offloading work traditionally done by the CPU to the GPU. This technique significantly reduces the number of triangles that need to be drawn in scenes with massive instancing and low visibility ratios.
