Imagination Technologies has demonstrated the results of its collaboration with Adobe to optimise Flash Player 10.1 for mobile and embedded devices, utilising OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration, on application processors with POWERVR SGX graphics processor at MWC 2010 in Barcelona.
The aim is that smartphones will be able to display Flash-based web content in browsers equipped with Flash Player 10.1.
Imagination will demonstrate a preview of the player with full support for OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration.
"We believe the ultimate goal is for Adobe’s Flash Platform to be able to take full advantage of OpenGL ES 2 graphics acceleration as well as video acceleration under all mobile OS’s, including Linux, Android, WinMobile and Symbian,” said Tony King-Smith, v-p marketing, Imagination Technologies.
Imagination has also recently joined the Open Screen Project.
“Application processor chips with POWERVR SGX OpenGL ES 2.0 are already shipping in more than 100 million units today, and are already at the heart of many of today’s most iconic mobile, consumer and automotive products,” said King-Smith.
Imagination's POWERVR SGX and MBX graphics accelerators are licensed for embedding in chips from Intel, NEC, Renesas, Samsung, Texas Instruments and others.
