August 3, 2009 New Orleans, SIGGRAPH 2009 - Graphic Remedy, a leading provider of advanced solutions for 3D-graphics developers, today announced gDEBugger iPhone release. gDEBugger iPhone allows OpenGL ES® based application developers to deliver more-complex 3D-graphics apps and significantly improve rendering performance. gDEBugger iPhone offers advanced debugging and profiling capabilities that reduce development time and accelerate time to market.
gDEBugger iPhone traces the application's activity on top of OpenGL ES API and enables programmers to see what is happening within the graphic system implementation, identify bugs and optimize the applications' rendering performance. The new solution will allow developers to maximize utilization of the available iPhone graphic resources and enable them to deliver even better games and applications on this platform.
gDEBugger iPhone fully supports OpenGL ES® 1.1 and 2.0. The new product has been tested by over 200 developers worldwide who participated in the company's gDEBugger iPhone Beta program. User responses have been highly enthusiastic and complimentary.
"gDEBugger iPhone is, for us, an indispensable development tool", states Stephen Northcott, Founder and CEO of Ginetix Consulting and a long-time developer of Mac and iPhone applications. "Developing for the iPhone and OpenGL ES presents even more of a "black box" than normal OpenGL implementations. Moreover, efficient asset management is essential on low memory devices. The ability to view assets such as shaders, textures and buffer objects in minute detail, at any point in a programs execution, and comprehensively profile OpenGL / GLES code, as well as edit and test GLES2.0 shaders 'on the fly', literally doubled or even tripled our productivity and problem solving capabilities."
Northcott and his team have been active participants in gDEBugger iPhone beta program since June. "We developed one full iPhone app prior to utilizing gDEBugger and were able to increase the efficiency of our graphics engine by over 30% in only 2 days once we deployed gDEBugger iPhone", he testifies. "On current projects, we have been able to achieve amazing optimizations in stunningly short development periods thanks solely to gDEBugger's comprehensive feature set. Quite simply, we recommend it to all OpenGL and GLES developers as a must have tool."
When asked to elaborate how efficiency increased, Northcott explains: "We gained 5 or 6 FPS on the iPhone, which took our application up to just over 20 FPS. That's a threshold point, where touch and acceleration controls seem properly responsive to the player, offering the freedom to add some more quality to the visuals."
The new gDEBugger V5.2 adds a new Vertex Batch Statistics view to the gDEBugger Statistics viewer. OpenGL draw function calls are grouped by the number of vertices they push into the graphic pipeline, allowing the user to view and improve the ratio between API calls made and vertices drawn.
In addition, the new release introduces OpenGL primitive performance counters, displaying the total number of render primitives and vertices drawn per frame, as well as a breakdown to the specific primitive types (points, lines and triangles).
Version 5.2 also includes a public beta release of gDEBugger iPhone. gDEBugger iPhone runs on top of Apple's iPhone Simulator, enabling developers to debug and optimize iPhone OpenGL ES-based applications within their primary work environment. More information about gDEBugger iPhone is available here.
Graphic Remedy is proud to announce the upcoming release of gDEBugger for the iPhone platform.

OpenGL application developers optimize performance on Chrome 400 GPUs with gDEBugger
Fremont, California and Tel Aviv, Israel, 6 October 2008 - S3 Graphics, a leading provider of graphics and visualization technologies, and Graphic Remedy, an innovative provider of OpenGL performance tools, today announced the support of the latest Chrome 400 Series GPUs with the gDEBugger performance measurement utility. The Chrome 400 Series GPUs support the latest OpenGL 2.1 API and hardware HD video decode for Blu-ray playback.
S3 Graphics and Graphic Remedy have been working closely together over the past year on incorporating S3 Graphics hardware and driver support into gDEBugger. This combination offers a powerful performance optimizing solution for OpenGL application developers using S3 Graphics hardware. "The aim of the S3 Graphics and Graphic Remedy cooperation is to give developers the best-in-class solution and get the optimal results and usability out of S3 Graphics hardware," said Avi Shapira, CEO of Graphic Remedy.
The powerful integration between gDEBugger and S3 Graphics provides real-time statistics (performance counters) representing utilization, throughput, and other performance metrics within the S3 Graphics hardware and driver. Monitoring these performance counters allows unprecedented visibility of graphics activity and throughput at various points in the graphic pipeline. OpenGL developers can use these performance counters to identify graphic pipeline bottlenecks, optimize their code based on application feedback, and measure the success of different optimizations they apply.
"gDEBugger is an excellent solution for OpenGL developers who care about the performance of their application. S3 Graphics has been working extensively with Graphic Remedy to ensure that gDEBugger fully supports our current and future graphics architectures. The integration of gDEBugger with S3 Graphics hardware performance metrics gives developers valuable, in-depth analysis of any OpenGL application to get the most out of our hardware using this advanced tool," said Iming Pai, VP of Software at S3 Graphics.
Streamlining the OpenGL Debugging and Profiling ExperiencegDEBugger is a powerful OpenGL and OpenGL ES debugger and profiler. It delivers one of the most intuitive OpenGL development toolkits available for graphics application developers. gDEBugger lowers development cost by saving debugging and profiling time, boosting application robustness by tracing application activity on top of OpenGL to provide the needed information a developer needs to find bugs, and optimizing application rendering performance.
