Drivers

GraphTech is developing display drivers and applications for mobile and embedded platforms.

Projects span from developing JSR-184 and custom OpenGL-ES display drivers up to 3D graphics stand alone applications such as games, remote access tools and more.
Through the projects that  have been implemented, GraphTech engineers gained experience in a variety of embedded and mobile operating systems including Windows CE, Symbian, Linux and BREW.

Java JSR184 drivers

The JSR-184 specification is the de-facto standard for graphics on J2ME platforms in general and Cell phones in particular.

Graphtech is involved in development drivers to support this API; both on hardware accelerated platforms as well as software rendering implementations.

Open GL-ES drivers

GraphTech is developing various OpenGL-ES drivers for its customer’s specific hardware platform. Those drivers are aimed both for Hardware Accelerated Graphics (GPU’s) as well as pure software rendering implementation.

In many cases, the drivers are tuned for specific applications. The application specific driver provides customers with two distinct advantages:

On one hand, the application is developed using the standard OpenGL API. This ensures the preservation of the development effort and keeps the application compatible with new platforms that will become available in the future.

On the other hand, the driver is tuned for the specific graphics needs of the application. This driver avoids the unnecessary performance overhead and memory foot-print that a typical off-the-shelf OpenGL-ES implementation has.
