Lynx Introduces RenderCore, Adding CPU Rendering to the Most Complete Edge Safety-Critical Graphics Portfolio

Lynx brings choice and run-anywhere ease to graphics rendering across any architecture, any API, easy OpenGL-to-Vulkan migration, and fast prototyping, all in one comprehensive platform

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lynx, a leader in safe and secure software platforms for mission-critical edge systems, today solidified its position as provider of the industry’s most complete safety-critical graphics solution with the release of Lynx RenderCore, a new CPU graphics rendering capability. With the addition of RenderCore to the Lynx portfolio, software teams can render on the CPU, on a GPU, in OpenGL or Vulkan, choosing the architecture that best fits each program, all within one platform.

Traditional graphical user interfaces and mission displays have often been designed around specific rendering architectures and hardware platforms, creating dependencies that can be difficult to manage across the 10- to 30-year lifecycles that are common across aerospace, defense, and industrial programs. Lynx RenderCore removes these constraints and gives system architects choice and flexibility to seamlessly deploy graphics workloads across CPU, dedicated GPU, or hybrid architectures. 

Architectural Freedom: Modern Graphics on Any Silicon

Because Lynx RenderCore provides portability across open rendering backends, teams can write once and target CPU software rendering, or Vulkan, as well as OpenGL over Vulkan, on the GPU. It also taps the growing power of modern x86 and Arm-based processors from multiple semiconductor manufacturers (AMD, Intel and Arm, for instance), to take on graphics and display work that once required dedicated graphics hardware. 

By decoupling the graphics software from the underlying silicon, Lynx enables teams to start development immediately, optimize size, weight, and power (SWaP), and maintain total hardware adaptability throughout a program’s entire lifecycle, whether using GPUs for more compute intensive applications such as high-throughput visualization or complex graphics, or CPUs for less intensive display applications, high-criticality safety functions, or when a dedicated GPU is not available.

With the addition of Lynx RenderCore to the existing GPU capabilities already provided in its flagship MOSA.ic.AI platform, Lynx now supports several critical aviation use cases, such as:

• Modern avionics and cockpit displays, including synthetic vision systems in the flight deck
• Large area displays that require low-latency rendering for complex visual data, such as tactical camera video feeds, airspace corridors, weather radar layers, and landscape topology
• Tactical visual systems, such as Heads Up Displays and Helmet Mounted Display Systems
  

“With RenderCore, Lynx continues to demonstrate its leadership by offering the most complete safety-critical graphics solution in the industry, so project leaders can render on the GPU, the CPU, in OpenGL or Vulkan, all on one platform,” said Tim Reed, CEO of Lynx. “That completeness lets customers start earlier, prototype displays quickly, bring legacy OpenGL applications forward to a modern Vulkan stack, and reduce dependence on any single piece of silicon. For over 20 years, Lynx has delivered trusted embedded solutions that power more than 100 critical graphics deployments. This latest advancement has again set the bar, as we continue to redefine what’s possible for the world’s most demanding environments.”

Availability

Lynx RenderCore is available immediately as part of the Lynx platform. Lynx will demonstrate RenderCore on Intel Tiger Lake at the MOSA Industry & Government Summit in booth #423. To learn more or request a graphics consultation, visit https://www.lynx.com/rendercore-contact
