ESPOO, Finland, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitboys Oy announces the
availability of Acceleon(TM), a family of graphics processors for mobile --
and embedded devices. Acceleon(TM), as a family of IP core solutions, provides
a performance and feature set that is targeted toward various handheld
devices, including mobile phones, PDAs and entertainment devices.
Acceleon Visual Platform(TM) serves as the foundation for the use of
Acceleon(TM) graphics hardware. As an optimized, turnkey software/hardware
solution, Acceleon Visual Platform(TM) provides full compatibility with
graphics API standards such as an early version of OpenGL(R) ES, while
providing varying levels of performance based on the Acceleon(TM) graphics
processor core used.
The Acceleon(TM) family of graphics processors consists of the following
products:
Acceleon G10(TM) -- As the basis for all subsequent members of the
Acceleon(TM) family, this processor provides hardware acceleration of
vector- and 3D-graphics content. The G10(TM) core is the perfect solution for
volume-market embedded devices, accelerating the visual user interface
graphics and highly interactive, real-time gaming content.
Acceleon G20(TM) -- A graphics processor for handheld gaming, interactive
wireless applications and user interface acceleration. The G20(TM) core
provides a complete feature set for 3D graphics rendering, while retaining
full backwards compatibility with Acceleon G10(TM). Provided are features such
as textured triangle rendering, pixel color processing, shading, texture
filtering and image anti-aliasing.
Acceleon G30(TM) -- A state-of-the-art 3D graphics processor for handheld
devices, providing performance and scalability for even the most demanding
mobile games and applications. The G30(TM) graphics processor supports all
industry standard graphics APIs, including an early version of OpenGL(R) ES
1.0. Support of graphics standards provides a safe, solid platform for
application developers. Cross-platform applications and games can be executed
with high frame rates and with superb image quality.
Acceleon(TM) supports an advanced hardware anti-aliasing system that
provides no performance penalty when enabled. This advanced feature
significantly enhances the quality of all applications on the Acceleon(TM)
platform, a feature especially noticeable on the low-resolution displays
typically found on mobile devices.
As the only solution to provide hardware acceleration for vector graphics,
Acceleon(TM) is in a class by itself. "Acceleon Visual Platform(TM) provides
the most complete rendering solution for mobile devices today. With a unique
feature set that is simply unmatched by others, Acceleon(TM) is the solution
for mobile rendering needs." Says Petri Nordlund, CTO of Bitboys Oy.
Acceleon Visual Platform(TM) is able to utilize any one of the
Acceleon(TM) graphics processors for accelerating graphics rendering by moving
the most intensive rendering tasks to dedicated hardware. The unique
combination of hardware and software allows for a full product range of
handheld devices to be designed with the same graphics functionality, but with
variable level of rendering performance.
Bitboys Oy will demonstrate the Acceleon(TM) cores and technology at the
SIGGRAPH 2003 in San Diego, California, during July 29 - 31 (booth #3151).
Acceleon(TM) is available today for licensing, with further information
