1.3.2. Mali GPU Texture Compression Tool
You can run the Mali GPU Texture Compression Tool on your
computer to encode texture images into formats that take less memory
than the uncompressed original. This enables you to reduce the amount
of memory bandwidth required to read texture data. The reduced bandwidth results
in superior performance and reduced power consumption. The Mali
GPU supports Ericsson Texture Compression (ETC).
ETC is the compression scheme recommended by the OpenGL ES Working
Group. The Texture Compression tool has both a graphical and command-line
interface.
