OPPO took to the stage on the Snapdragon Summit 2022 to introduce a collaboration between OPPO and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. in ray tracing graphics for cell gadgets.
The collaboration brings a breakthrough in cell ray tracing expertise that can permit customers to expertise a completely optimised hardware-based ray tracing function on the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform when it releases.
At the Snapdragon Summit, OPPO additionally demonstrated breakthroughs achieved in its collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies and Google to implement Google Vertex AI Neural Architecture Search (Google NAS) on a smartphone for the primary time. The new answer will increase power effectivity and latency of AI processing on cell gadgets.
As a long-term associate of Qualcomm Technologies, collaborating since early part of the next-gen driver growth, OPPO has additionally introduced that it’ll use the most recent launched premium Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform in its subsequent Find X flagship gadgets, delivering a leap in video, gaming, and connectivity experiences for cell customers worldwide.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform
As the primary smartphone producer to supply an open-sourced ray tracing answer for cell, OPPO has collaborated with Qualcomm Technologies to conduct software program optimisations based mostly on the brand new era Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform. These optimisations allow OPPO’s ray tracing expertise to be utilized to complicated, large-scale sport scenes on cell gadgets.
Visitors to the Snapdragon Summit 2022 had been capable of expertise this ray tracing expertise on stay sport demos, making OPPO the one smartphone producer on the Snapdragon Summit to reveal such expertise on handsets powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform.
Running on a tool powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, with a number of ray tracing results turned on, high cell video games can run at a gradual 60 FPS whereas offering life like delicate shadows and reflections for the best gaming visible high quality. Compared with earlier software program solely era, ray tracing render effectivity elevated by an element of 5 and diminished the CPU workload by 90%.
These advances will allow the cell sport trade to step away from its reliance on utilizing software program simulation to attain ray tracing results, and as an alternative convey superior, ultra-realistic lighting to complicated, large-scale sport scenes on cell gadgets.
OPPO was the primary smartphone producer to develop ray tracing expertise on cell gadgets via software program. Since 2020, OPPO has been constructing an open ecosystem across the expertise that brings collectively creators, sport builders, and sport engine growing platforms with the PhysRay SDK — the primary open-sourced ray tracing answer on cell gadgets launched by OPPO.
To higher cater to the assorted wants of builders, OPPO has continued to optimise the PhysRay engine for enhanced compatibility between totally different {hardware} and software program configurations. The Open, Convenient, Adaptive and Balance ray tracing answer acts as a much-needed bridge between {hardware} and software program when implementing ray tracing on cell gadgets.
Google NAS
OPPO has additionally been working with Qualcomm Technologies and Google to reinforce future AI capabilities on cell gadgets. Under the collaboration, OPPO has efficiently built-in the {hardware} energy reward into Google NAS for the primary time. Through optimisations to the AI algorithms based mostly on the precise chip traits, OPPO’s implementation achieves a 27% discount in energy of the goal detection algorithm and a 40% discount in computing latency.
Together, these enhancements will allow AI fashions to be educated with higher power effectivity and {hardware} friendliness in a shorter timeframe.
