“ARM is an industry-leading graphics processing and CPU IP company, and we’re partnering with them to bring the highest quality entertainment experiences to games built on Cocos2d-x,” said Ricardo Quesada, chief architect and creator of Cocos2d at Chukong Technologies. “Our goal is to create the best mobile game engine in the world, and working with ARM is a core part of this strategy.”
Through the technology partnership, games built with Cocos2d-x such as Frogmind’s BADLAND and Fingersoft’s Hill Climb Racing will now run faster on ARM-based devices using ARM Cortex processors and ARM Mali graphics processors, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 and the Google Nexus 10. Chukong is utilizing ARM NEON technology, a general-purpose SIMD engine, to accelerate multimedia processing for 2D and 3D graphics, video and audio in its games. Additionally, Chukong is leveraging ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5) and ARM Streamline performance analyzer to optimize Cocos2d-x and enhance titles published by Chukong’s consumer division Coco.
“ARM’s goal is to help our partners deliver console-quality gaming experiences on ARM-powered mobile devices,” said Dennis Laudick, vice president of partner marketing, media processing group, ARM. “Chukong Technologies’ strategy of using a full suite of ARM technology including CPU and GPU enhances the power of ARM-based products to deliver excellent gaming experiences. By working with ARM to further optimize their Cocos2d-x gaming engine, Chukong Technologies is able to deliver performance lifts up to 70 percent, a fantastic achievement that will transform the quality of gaming in some of the world’s most popular titles.”
