Mali GPU Shader Development Studio
OpenGL ES 2.0 Shader Authoring Tool
The Mali GPU Shader Development Studio is an Eclipse plugin that extends the functionality of the Eclipse platform to enable editing of OpenGL ES 2.0 shaders to run on Mali GPUs.
It can be used to develop the shaders from scratch or work on existing shaders. Shaders can be previewed as they are being developed by rendering them on remote Mali GPUs or on a remote or a local OpenGL ES 2.0 Emulator.
