Under Mali's 1992 constitution, the president is chief of state and commander in chief of the armed forces. The president is elected to a 5-year term, with a limit of two terms. The president appoints the prime minister as head of government. The president chairs the Council of Ministers (the prime minister and currently 28 other ministers, including 5 women), which adopts proposals for laws submitted to the National Assembly for approval.

The ARM Mali processors deliver brilliant 2D and 3D graphics with 4x and 16x full scene anti-aliasing (FSAA) to "smooth" otherwise jagged lines without any noticeable drop in performance. In addition to providing content developers with the state-of-the-art programmable features in OpenGL ES 2.0 Mali products ... support SVG and Flash through OpenVG for improved text, navigation, UI and web-browsing experiences. Mali technology takes full advantage of the ARM AMBA(R), CPU and fabric IP to deliver a powerful and complete graphics experience on mobile phones, PDAs and GPS devices, with sustained performance, very low power consumption and leading memory bandwidth usage for up to 1080p resolutions.

The Mali empire was followed by the Songhai empire of Gao, which rose to great power in the late 15th cent. In 1590 the empire, already weakened by internal divisions, was shattered by a Moroccan army. The Moroccans... could not effectively dominate the vast region, which broke up into petty states. By the late 18th cent., the area was in a semianarchic condition and was subject to incursions by the Tuareg and Fulani.

The Mali SDK product features run-time code translation technology, which enables fast virtual platforms to run on a standard PC in real time. In addition, the complete graphics solution delivers developer libraries for the APIs, which offer maximum debug visibility and profiling and analysis tools which support current and emerging standards from the Khronos consortium, including OpenGL ES technology. The Mali SDK ... includes a performance analysis tool, texture compression tool, demo engine library and import tool for quick demos and import models, a visual debugger, a CPU/GPU software model for real-time information models to port games, a shader debugger and a shader compiler. The Mali SDK will be available from ARM for commercial licensing in Q2 2007.
