Engqungqutheleni ye-XDC2020 (X.Org Developers Conference) mayelana ne-ARM ejoyina inqubo yokuthuthukisa iphrojekthi , ethuthukisa umshayeli ovulekile wama-cores wevidiyo we-Mali. Inkampani ye-ARM Nikeza onjiniyela babashayeli ngolwazi namadokhumenti abawadingayo ukuze baqonde kangcono i-Hardware futhi bagxilise imizamo yabo yokuthuthukisa, ngaphandle kokuchitha isikhathi ekuxazululeni izindida zamadrayivu kanambambili wobunjiniyela bokuhlehla. Phambilini, kwenzeka into efanayo ngokuxhunywa kwe-Qualcomm ukuze isebenze kuphrojekthi , ethuthukisa umshayeli wamahhala we-Qualcomm Adreno GPUs.
Ukubamba iqhaza kwe-ARM kuzosiza ukuletha ukuzinza kokusetshenziswa kuze kufike ezingeni lokuthi ilungele ukusetshenziswa kabanzi futhi kunikeze ukwesekwa okukhulu kwemiyalelo yangaphakathi eqondene ne-Mali GPU ngokunikeza ulwazi lokuqala mayelana nesakhiwo se-chip. Ukutholakala kwemibhalo yangaphakathi kuzosiza nokuqinisekisa ukusebenza okuphezulu, ukuhambisana ngokugcwele nezicaciso nokufakwa kwazo zonke izici ezitholakalayo zeMidgard ne-Bifrost GPUs.
Izinguquko zokuqala ezilungiselelwe ngokusekelwe kulwazi olutholwe kwa-ARM sezivele sezivele esisekelweni sekhodi yomshayeli. Ngokuqondene,
kwenziwe umsebenzi wokuletha imisebenzi yokupakisha imiyalelo kufomu le-canonical futhi kusekwe kabusha ngokuphelele isiqaqa ukuze sibonise ngokunembe kakhudlwana ukwakheka kwesethi yemiyalo ye-GPU Bifrost futhi sihambisane namagama asetshenziswe ku-ARM.
Umshayeli wePanfrost wasungulwa ngo-2018 ngu-Alyssa Rosenzweig wase-Collabora futhi kuze kube manje usethuthukiswe ngobunjiniyela obuhlanekezela abashayeli bokuqala be-ARM. Okwamanje, umshayeli usekela umsebenzi ngama-chips asekelwe kuMidgard (Mali-T6xx, Mali-T7xx, Mali-T8xx) kanye ne-Bifrost (Mali G3x, G5x, G7x) microarchitectures. Ku-GPU Mali 400/450, esetshenziswa kuma-chips amaningi amadala asekelwe ekwakhiweni kwe-ARM, umshayeli uthuthukiswa ngokwehlukana. .
