NVIDIA is an active member of various industry associations that work towards the process and development of the mobile industry—from helping to set standards to breaking new ground in visual computing innovation for handheld and mobile devices.  The Khronos Group ( www.khronos.org) is a member-funded industry consortium of over 100 member companies that creates open, royalty-free standards to enable the authoring and accelerated playback of dynamic media on a wide variety of platforms and devices. The Khronos Group has created industry-enabling APIs including OpenGL ES for advanced 3D graphics, OpenMAX for flexible streaming media acceleration and OpenKODE. OpenKODE is a DirectX®-like set of APIs that accelerate rich media and graphics applications with native source portability across diverse mobile devices. NVIDIA has played a leading role in bringing OpenKODE to market and is committed to providing developers full access to the power of its handheld GPUs through this significant open standard.
 The Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance ( www.mipi.org) established an industry initiative to define and promote open standards for interfaces to mobile application processors. The alliance ensure the interfaces mobile devices use are easily compatible with the processors inside, keeping an open market for all parties involved.
SD Association ( www.sdcard.org) is an organization that aims to establish the technical and specification standards for SD Memory Card applications, to promote the SD memory card as the industry standard, and to encourage the development of digital products that utilize the benefits of SD technology. |
