BARCELONA, Spain and
TORONTO, February 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
News graphics development tools
target low power connected wearables and embedded
systems
Today Think Silicon, a leader in developing ultra-low power
graphics IP technology, announced new tools to enhance the creation
of connected wearable, mobile and embedded display devices.
Partaking in the annual global discussion for innovation and
guidance, Think Silicon will exhibit at Montjuic Hall M8 Booth C4.6
for 4YFN Barcelona at Mobile World Congress, February 27 - March 1, 2017.
NEMA[TM]|Bits
enables FPGA-GPU board demonstration
Think Silicon offers
NEMA[TM]|Bits to assist developers
by sampling graphics capabilities through the use of an FPGA
(field-programmable gate array) board. Customers, developers,
universities and other interested facilities can download the GPU
code (Bit-Stream Image) from the Think Silicon website and flash or
program the FPGA to test and validate GPU capabilities including
the NEMA[TM]|GUI Builder toolkit
(Graphical User Interface). The goal of
NEMA[TM]|Bits is to entice
developers to test the
NEMA[TM]|GPU-Series capabilities
using the FPGA board to help them in their decision finding process
by implementing a GPU in their future wearable, mobile and embedded
display devices.

NEMA[TM]|GUI
Toolkit empowers programmers to create high-quality GUIs in a
fraction of time
Featuring a friendly user interface with drag-and-drop
capabilities, NEMA[TM]|GUI Toolkit
offers a development environment on host PCs to reduce GUI build
development time. The unique framework automatically generates
performance optimized executable code and API calls, with small
memory footprint while making extensive use of the 3D features of
NEMA[TM] GPUs. The toolkit
delivers support for touchscreens, limitless screen size, and
operating system
targets.http://think-silicon.com/products/software/nema-gui-toolkit/
NEMA[TM]|
Pixpresso easily converts images for low power embedded
platforms
Using Think Silicon proprietary and patented frame-buffer and
texture compression formats,
NEMA[TM]|Pixpresso uses low bit
rates to easily and efficiently convert images into and from
formats suitable for lower power platforms and adapt images for
application requirements. These devices support uncompressed
formats (32-bit RGBA family) and various compressed image formats
that enable developers to produce results that blend performance
with power consumption requirements. When implemented in
conjunction with NEMA[TM] GPUs,
developers gain added support for image conversion using low power
but with exceptional high quality results.

"Think Silicon[TM] is proud to
offer these new tools for developers as we welcome a new era of
ultra-low power graphics technology for wearable and embedded
devices," said Ulli Mueller, Vice
President, Marketing and Business Development of Think Silicon.
"Our goal is to empower customers with high performance - low power
graphics IP to create new markets and products. We're confident
that our new developer offerings introduced at Mobile World
Congress will inspire the development of even more exciting new
innovations. All of these tools are free with unlimited use for
educational and research purposes. "
Think Silicon[TM] will exhibit
their new developers tools at Montjuic Hall M8 Booth C4.6 for 4YFN
Barcelona at Mobile World
Congress, February 27 - March 1,
2017.
