GS Multi-Core Renderer with BuiltSAFE™

Mercury’s GS Multi-Core Renderer with BuiltSAFE™ technologies is an OpenGL graphics software library tailored for high-performance in safety-critical environments requiring the highest DAL level. Part of the Graphics Suite, this efficient, small footprint software library performs software-based graphics rasterizing in embedded systems that employ both general purpose and safety-critical systems using a single, consistent API. The multicore implementation overcomes the performance issues typically associated with software-only graphics solutions. Certifiable to DO-178C Level A, this OpenGL software graphics renderer is designed to be deployed in aerospace and defense systems where performance and reliability are critical.

The GS Multi-Core Renderer features unique, optimized software rasterizing algorithms and advanced technology that supports high-fidelity, real-time graphics applications on embedded computing platforms not equipped with GPUs or integrated graphics acceleration. The renderer reduces the risk and cost associated with graphic hardware components while providing a superior obsolescence management approach and easy-system upgrade. It offers full OpenGL SC functionality, industry-leading performance on embedded targets supporting SIMD streaming, deterministic support for multicore processors and multi-threading, and a multicore implementation that scales performance with the number of cores allocated. Additionally, it provides concurrent processing of vector and color operations, an optional virtualized driver, complete customizable source code, and high-quality, anti-aliased lines and textures at all display resolutions.
