ARM has submitted its ARM Mali-T604 graphics processing unit (GPU) for OpenCL 1.1 full profile conformance with Khronos, a standard-setting organization. The conformance will ensure that system-on-chips with ARM Mali-T604 graphics technology will be able to do general-purpose computing using GPU computing units.
The Mali-T600-series of GPUs have been designed from the outset for GPU computing, including full support for work-groups and synchronization barriers. Building on a scalable multicore, multi-pipeline architecture design, the Mali-T600 GPU includes a number of advanced features. In particular, native scalar and vector operations for OpenCL's integer and floating point data types (including 64-bit); support for static and dynamic compilation; hardware accelerated image and sampler data types; fast atomic operations and compliance to IEEE754-2008 precision requirements.
