What is Lynx RenderCore

What is Lynx RenderCore?

Lynx RenderCore is a flexible rendering solution for developing portable graphics and HMI applications. It gives system architects the freedom to select the rendering architecture that best fits their program, without tying the application to a specific hardware platform or graphics implementation.

RenderCore complements Lynx CoreSuite™, which provides standards-based graphics infrastructure, GPU drivers, and runtime services for accelerated embedded graphics. Together, these technologies support a flexible path from early HMI prototyping through deployment and long-term sustainment.

One Application. Multiple Rendering Architectures.

Traditional graphical user interfaces and mission displays are often designed around a specific rendering architecture and hardware platform. These dependencies can become difficult to manage across the 10- to 30-year lifecycles common in aerospace, defense, and industrial systems. Lynx RenderCore helps reduce these constraints by enabling graphics workloads to run across:

    • CPU software rendering
    • Dedicated GPU acceleration
    • Hybrid CPU/GPU architectures
    • OpenGL over Vulkan
    • Native Vulkan SC
    • Modern x86- and Arm-based processors
Teams can develop portable graphics applications and select the appropriate rendering back end as hardware, performance, safety, and program requirements evolve.

Accelerate

Accelerate HMI Development Across the Program Lifecycle

Some programs require CPU-only hardware platforms. Others need to begin HMI development before the target GPU or driver stack is available. Mixed-criticality systems may also need to place high-integrity graphics on the CPU path while using GPU acceleration for lower-criticality or graphics-intensive workloads.

Lynx RenderCore supports each of these development paths. Teams can prototype and validate graphics applications early, transition between rendering architectures, and adapt to changing hardware requirements without rebuilding the entire application.
