OpenVG 1.1 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
ThinkVG is the smallest Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in the market supporting the Khronos Group OpenVG 1.1 standard. It is an extremely low-gate count IP Core based on VShader, a C/C++ programmable Floating Point SIMD Streaming processor, designed for graphics applications. System Architecture is Scalable and embedded software allows flexibility. ThinkVG comes complete with Software Library implementing OpenVG 1.1 running on VShader and with API package running on host processor with emphasis on minimizing CPU overhead by the use of command lists and on reducing memory bandwidth by utilizing custom image compression hardware.
