GlossaryThis glossary describes some of the terms used in ARM manuals. Where terms can have severalmeanings, the meaning presented here is intended.AELAPISee ARM Embedded Linux.See Application Programming Interface.Application Programming Interface (API)A specification for a set of procedures, functions, data structures, and constants that are used tointerface two or more software components together. For example, an API between an operatingsystem and the application programs that use it might specify exactly how to read data from a file.ARM Embedded Linux (AEL)A version of Linux ported to the ARM architecture.COLLAborative Design Activity (COLLADA) filesOpen-standard XML files that describe digital assets. COLLADA files are compatible with manygraphics applications.COLLADAFpsFragment shaderGPUSee COLLAborative Design Activity (COLLADA) files.Frames per second. The number of individual frames that are rendered every second, to create ananimation. Typical games and GUI applications run at 20-30 fps.A program running on the pixel processor that calculates the color and other characteristics of eachfragment.See Graphics Processor Unit.ARM DUI 0527A-02a Copyright © 2010 ARM.

GlossaryGraphics Processor Unit (GPU)A hardware accelerator for graphics systems using OpenGL ES and OpenVG. The hardwareaccelerator comprises of an optional geometry processor and a pixel processor together withmemory management. Mali programmable GPUs, such as the Mali-200 and Mali-400 MPGPUs, consist of a geometry processor and at least one pixel processor. Mali fixed-functionGPUs, such as the Mali-55 GPU consist of a pixel processor only.Instrumented driversAlternative graphics drivers that are used with the Mali GPU. The Instrumented drivers includeadditional functionality such as error logging and recording performance data files for use bythe Performance Analysis Tool.See also Performance Analysis Tool.MaliMali Binary AssetA name given to graphics software and hardware products from ARM that aid 2D and 3Dacceleration.The Mali Binary Asset file format provides an optimized binary representation of a 3D scenefor loading into the Mali User Interface Engine Library.Mali User Interface EngineThe Mali User Interface Engine is a component of the Mali Developer Tools. The Mali UserInterface Engine library enables you to develop 3D graphics applications more easily than usingOpenGL ES alone.Mali User Interface Engine LibraryA C++ class framework for developing OpenGL ES 2.0 applications for the Mali GPU. TheMali User Interface Engine Library is a component of the Mali Developer Tools.Mali Developer ToolsMeshA set of development programs that enables software developers to create graphic applications.In graphics, a 3-dimensional arrangement of vertices and triangles, representing an object.Performance Analysis ToolA fully-customizable GUI tool that displays and analyzes performance data files produced bythe Instrumented drivers, together with framebuffer information.See also Instrumented drivers, Performance data file.Performance data filePixelFiles that contain a description of the performance counters, together with the performancecounter data in the form of a series of values and images. Performance data files are saved in.ds2 format and can be loaded directly into the Performance Analysis Tool.A pixel is a discrete element that forms part of an image on a display. The word pixel is derivedfrom the term Picture Element.Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)A version of desktop Linux operating systems.RHELPerformance variableShaderSee Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).Data produced by the instrumented OpenGL ES 2.0 Emulator, that can be displayed andanalyzed as statistical information in the Performance Analysis Tool.A program, usually an application program, running on the GPU, that calculates some aspect ofthe graphical output. See fragment shader and vertex shader.ARM DUI 0527A-02a Copyright © 2010 ARM. All rights reserved. Glossary-2ID070710Non-Confidential - Draft - Beta
