World's first GPU accelerated game engine unveiled HTML5 usher in a new opportunity to develop

February 26, Opera Oupeng Sphinx's game engine was officially released at the World Mobile Communications Conference in Barcelona (MWC). It is reported that this product is the world's first GPU accelerated HTML5 processing engine to solve the HTML5 game performance of the core obstacles. "Sphinx" release caused great concern, the industry evaluation, the release of the product is widely discussed in the industry at present HTML5 performance, the emergence of star applications and the entire HTML5 related industry development is of vital significance.

GPU acceleration will be the mainstream rendering mode

At the 2012 China Mobile Global Developers Conference, Opera Oupeng CEO Song Lin said: "The development of HTML5 requires the mobile browser technology to the deeper level of hardware acceleration, the realization of GPU acceleration is the key to determine the future development of the browser." ”

It is reported that GPU (Graphicprocessingunit, graphics processor) acceleration is a way of hardware acceleration, refers to the use of GPU alternative software algorithms to take full advantage of the inherent fast features of hardware, rendering includes images, video, SVG (Scalable Vector graphics) And so on the network content, enhance the speed of web animation, improve the rendering effect of the browser.

The opera Oupeng released the game Engine Sphinx is the GPU to accelerate the rendering of the browser, so as to achieve HTML5 game performance greatly improved. Sphinx uses standard interface, has no special restrictions and special requirements for game developers, and has a wide range of commercial technology base.

Sphinx's wide business significance, which means that the GPU acceleration will become the mainstream HTML5 mobile gaming mode, more and more HTML5 games will be able to fully display the hardware characteristics of the browser, showing a smooth, rich multimedia effects.

A new opportunity for HTML5

"In the HTML5 before the full outbreak, the entire industry needs to work together to build a platform for HTML5 to clear the technical barriers." "As the main platform for the most important portals and HTML5 applications of mobile networks, mobile browsers are critical to HTML5 support, and we hope to help developers solve the performance problems of HTML5 games through Sphinx promotion," says Song Lin. and lets the user enjoy the game experience which has no difference with the native application. ”

The HTML5 will usher in a big outbreak in 2013, with anecdotal forecasts. Kai-Fu Lee has also asserted that the full outbreak of HTML5 need to have the star-level application of the drive. In fact, the HTML5 field has not yet emerged as a star-level application. Industry insiders believe that, after the introduction of Sphinx, HTML5 game field is most likely to be the first star-level application.

and similar to opera Oupeng such HTML5 industry chain leader in technology, platform and other aspects of support to developers, HTML5 the entire industry's rapid, benign development is a greater positive. In the near future, users can not only easily play casual games through their mobile browsers, but also have a smooth control over various multiplayer online games.
