“Our ultra-low-power, high-performance graphics solutions are designed to inspire developers to create exceptional user experiences for a wide variety of products and markets, while significantly decreasing energy consumption. “Unveiling the first RISC-V-based GPU is a significant milestone for the graphics industry and for Think Silicon,” said Ulli Mueller, Director of IP Licensing, Sales and Marketing at Think Silicon. The NEMA®|pico-VG production-ready RTL is expected to begin shipping to customers in Q4 2022.
SILICON GRAPHICS SOFTWARE
The combination of RTL hardware blocks and software make the NEMA®|pico-VG the ideal high-performance graphics sub-system in power-, size- and cost-constrained products such as smartwatches, fitness/GPS trackers and smart home devices. The NEMA®|pico-VG uses smart compression algorithms to efficiently manage the valuable memory space, thereby reducing the CPU utilization by up to 95% compared to software-only solutions. Combining hardware accelerated vector and raster graphics in a single IP solution gives developers the freedom and flexibility to choose the best rendering technique based on the graphics content being displayed. The multi-core, vector and 2.5D raster graphics GPU supports clock frequencies from 90-500MHz, 70 fps and 800圆00 resolution in a tiny silicon area of 0.21mm2. Think Silicon’s new NEMA®|pico-VG GPU is the latest addition of high-performance and ultra-low-power graphics for displays in battery-driven, power-constrained products.

NEOX™ IP pre-evaluation systems are available for customer testing and Think Silicon will be demonstrating 3D/2D graphics and machine learning applications at Embedded World. The new offering serves as a GPU platform to be implemented in 32-bit SoCs addressing a myriad of applications including next-generation smartwatches, augmented reality (AR) eyewear, video for surveillance and entertainment, and smart displays for point-of-sale/point-of-interaction terminals.
The heavily multi-threaded system can be easily customized for graphics, machine learning, vision/video processing, and general-purpose compute workloads through configurable programming libraries using the same hardware blocks.
SILICON GRAPHICS SERIES
NEOX™| G (graphics) & A (deep learning accelerator) Series IP represent a new era of smart GPU architectures with programable compute shaders running on a real-time operating system (RTOS) and supported by light-weight graphics and machine learning frameworks. NEOX™ G-Series & A-Series – A New Era of Smart GPU Architectures The company will also introduce the NEMA®|pico-VG, the latest in the NEMA®|GPU-Series for MCU-driven SoCs – which supports rich vector graphics and improves system efficiency by offloading CPU utilization up to 95%. ATHENS, Greece, J- Think Silicon®, a leader in ultra-low power graphics IP, will showcase the industry’s first RISC-V-based GPU – the NEOX™ G-Series & A-Series – at Embedded World 2022.
