Android Renderscript Compute is a computation platform ported to run directly on a mobile device graphics processing unit (GPU). It is included in the latest release of Jelly Bean (see “Android Codename”).

Android Renderscript Compute automatically takes advantage of GPU computation resources whenever possible to improve graphics and image processing performance on a supported device.
