Overview

The SEERIS Graphics Engine is a building block concept combining a collection of 2D graphics processing units with focus on blit operations, display control and video capture.

Key features

  • All buffer formats 100% compatible
  • Flexible pixel formats (1/2/4/8/16/18/24/32 bpp; any bit width per channel)
  • YUV support (packed, planar, 4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0, progressive, interlaced)
  • Dynamic re-configuration of processing units
  • Ready to support standards (i.e. OpenWF)
  • Optimized for operations without read-after-write dependencies
  • Scan directions: 90/180/270° rotation, horizontal/vertical flip
  • Multiple layers (alpha blend) with configurable mapping
  • Scaling and warping on-the-fly (e.g. windshield correction)
  • Image compression and decompression on-the-fly
  • Spacial and temporal dithering
  • Special safety features
  • Various dual display modes and programmable timing generators
  • Perspective warping (simple 3D effects = “2.5D”)
  • Arbitrary warping (e.g. for lens distortion removal or HuD)
  • High quality re-sampling (super-sampling, anisotropic)
  • Linear light filtering (improves motion blur and anti-aliasing quality)
  • Image compression and decompression
  • Programmable FIR filter (blurring, sharpening, etc)

A scalable, shader-programmable vector graphics GPU core for low-power MCUs

To meet the growing graphics demands, the industry is shifting toward scalable, shader programmable architectures. Unlike fixed-function graphics accelerators, shader programmable GPUs offer the flexibility required to target diverse market segments and at the same time ensure software portability and maintainability. Furthermore, adopting platform-independent stacks based on industry standards allows accelerating time-to market by developing applications on standard PC platforms before deployment to target hardware. TES Electronic Solutions in Germany addresses these challenges with the D/AVE NX GPU core. Engineered specifically for resource-constrained environments, it supports OpenGL ES 2.0 shader programmability with selected 3.x and vector graphics extensions.

Tape-out Risk in the Age of Edge AI: The Case for GPU IP

A full SoC tape-out at 5nm approaches $400M in fully loaded, non-recurring engineering and mask costs. At 3nm, estimates push past $600M. Every IP block on that die is a commitment to a set of assumptions about what the silicon will need to do. In AI, those assumptions have a shorter shelf life than they used to.

What Does a GPU Have to Do With Automotive Security?

The automotive industry is undergoing the most significant transformation since the advent of electronics in cars. Vehicles are becoming software-defined, connected, AI-driven, and continuously updated. This evolution brings extraordinary new capability – but it also brings greater levels of cybersecurity and functional-safety risks.
