Faster Frames, Lower Power: How 'Infinity Nikki' Leverages Adreno High Performance Memory (Presented by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.)
Modern mobile game development faces significant challenges around power efficiency, with memory access standing out as one of the most energy intensive operations on today's devices. To help developers address this, modern Adreno GPUs incorporate Adreno High Performance Memorya fast, power efficient embedded memory solution designed to reduce energy consumption while simultaneously improving rendering throughput. By leveraging this specialized memory, developers can meaningfully lower power draw, extend battery life, and enhance overall application responsiveness.nnIn this session, attendees will gain a detailed understanding of how to access and utilize Adreno High Performance Memory through the latest Vulkan API extensions. The presentation will cover recommended integration strategies, highlight best practices for maximizing efficiency, and provide insight into a reference implementation within Unreal Engine 5. Additionally, they will hear how developers from Infold Games leveraged Adreno High Performance Memory in Infinity Nikki to achieve measurable improvements in both performance and power optimization on Adreno GPUs.
