ALT's Embedded OpenGL Display Driver Advantages
Performance Tuned Platform Independent Driver Architecture
Our driver products provide the small footprint, high performance, and reliability of a custom driver but are priced and packaged as COTS products, saving our customers time and money without compromising reliability and performance.
Our core OpenGL driver architectures are hardware and OS independent. We then layer on support for specific hardware and OS configurations. This minimizes the driver's memory footprint while optimizing its reliability and performance. These drivers are designed directly from the target graphics processors' technical specifications. They are tuned to specific hardware and software configuration to avoid the performance degradation found in typical Windows OpenGL drivers that often take performance hits from non-essential components such as DirectX, GDI, and other Windows overhead. In performance tests our drivers have exceeded the performance of many other OpenGL drivers.
Memory Management for Limited Memory Systems
Standard OpenGL assumes unlimited memory and a hard disk for virtual or paged memory support. ALT's OpenGL drivers provide optimized memory management functions that coordinate allocation between processes in resource constrained Embedded Systems.
Timely, Accessible, and Expert Technical Support
ALT Software understands project deadlines and interdependencies. We have structured a highly responsive technical support system for our customers. Product includes technical support directly from product engineers in our offices. This service is accessible via our website, e-mail, and phone. Our field application engineers are available for onsite support as well. ALT's experience with many system configurations and access to hardware technical specifications enable us to provide our customers with expert support that is informed by an in-depth understanding of many software and hardware configurations.
ALT Customization Services
ALT's software development services group offers custom software solutions for companies who require customized drivers with specific functionality or support for a particular configuration. COTS drivers, customized by ALT compare favorably against "Do-It-Yourself" driver development in terms of time to market and overall costs. Our intimate relationships with graphics chip, processor and Operating System industry leaders ensure that we provide you with an inside track on next-generation developments in embedded systems technology, resulting in products and solutions that leap-frog your competition.
Over 15 Years of Display Driver Experience
ALT's display driver experience spans virtually every type of device across many markets. From PDA touch screens to fighter jets, we have enabled displays on proprietary operating systems, legacy bus architectures, ported from one platform to another, and added next generation functionality to new product releases. We create not only OpenGL display drivers, but also DirectX, Mobile Direct 3D, and WindML. ALT Software is recognized as a world leader in graphics driver technology, which is why semiconductor companies come directly to us to provide drivers for their chips, and the most demanding Tier 1 device manufacturers ask us to provide the software to light up the screens on their devices.
