Take your application's performance to the next level

PowerVR SDK and PowerVR Tools give you innovative low-level scrutiny of your code, paving the way for greater optimisations and even better user experiences.

Rapidly develop your next application

Our industry-leading SDK takes you from creation and asset deployment, through to profiling and optimisation, providing you with all you need to get started with our framework and examples. Using, or new to Vulkan? Our framework cuts through the boilerplate code, and with some handy helpers thrown in, you can make much lighter work of complex code.

An extensive ecosystem of tools and support

PowerVR GPU technology is driven by one of the world’s largest engineering teams dedicated to graphics processor development. Get your answers online with our comprehensive documentation. From architecture guides and white papers, over to performance recommendations and migration tips, you’ll find plenty to read to help you make the very best applications. 

Build better applications faster with our innovative PowerVR Framework

Create PowerVR applications for iOS, macOS, Linux, Windows, WebGL, and Android. The PowerVR SDK Framework is a cross-platform and cross-API framework that acts as a scaffold for you to build your own rendering or game engine around. Use our Framework examples not just to learn Vulkan and OpenGL ES, but also as a starting point for your own applications.

Neural Network SDK for Artificial Intelligence

CLDNN SDK for developing Neural Network applications on PowerVR GPUs

Our intention is to make it as easy and efficient as possible for developers to develop convolutional neural networks on our hardware. To that end, we have provided both an API and an SDK, and also provided an image for flashing onto an Acer Chromebook R-13 for hardware development.
