Once, when you were looking to develop a mobile application with complex graphics, in most cases you immediately thought of OpenGL ES. In this blog post we’ll be discussing the benefits of Vulkan and why you really ought to consider using this next-generation of graphics API. Released in 2016, Vulkan®
If you were watching the World Cup earlier this year and for some reason weren’t gripped by what you were seeing you may have noticed the brand ‘Vivo’ on the advertising hoardings running down the sides of the pitches. I’d say it was a good decision for the
On August 23rd-25th 2018, the first Smart China Expo was held in Chongqing, China and attracted more than 400 attendees from all over the country. The event was jointly organized by a variety of organisations; the Chongqing Municipal People’s Government; Ministry of Science and Technology, PRC; Ministry of
“They’re dials! Just simple dials! How could they mess them up so badly?” Believe it or not, but it’s something we’ve cried out many times here at Imagination. If you’re wondering what on earth I’m going on about, which is reasonable, let me back up and provide some

At GDC 2018 earlier this year, we launched our latest technical graphics demo focusing on our PowerVR Series8XE range of GPUs. From the beginning of the project, we set out to show exactly how much our PowerVR Series8XE range of GPUs was capable of, despite its highly compact,
China has been widely tipped to take the lead in artificial technology so when Imagination travelled to Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing in June this year to lead seminars on AI, they were well received by our industry-leading partners and customers in China. Russell James, Vice President of Vision &
Recently, we ran a webinar entitled, “Enabling efficient implementation of neural networks in smart cameras”. If you missed it, it’s worth checking out, as we take a close look at the smart camera market and the need to embed neural network accelerator in edge devices. For those with
For many years, the semiconductor industry has strived towards tightly integrating more and more components into a single system-on-chip (SoC). After all, it is an entirely practical solution for high volume applications. By optimally positioning the various cores, memories and peripherals chip manufacturers are able to minimise data
Once again, we bring you another of our Visionary series of interviews with key thinkers at the company. This time we’re in conversation with Paul Brasnett, senior research manager for the PowerVR Vision & AI division. Paul leads three teams at Imagination; two research the latest developments in
